Picture of Ship Of Fools, CR0 2RE

Historical version 12 of Ship Of Fools, CR0 2RE (view current version)

Wetherspoons pub in Croydon. It's been in and out of the Good Beer Guide a few times.

It's a typical Wetherspoons shop conversion — low ceiling, little natural light.

When Kake visited on a Wednesday evening in September 2011, there were a number of interesting guest ales on, all at £1.75/pint, including Dark Star Saison and Hepworth Pullman. No music was playing, but there was a nice low buzz of conversation. Service was very friendly.

Accessibility: No step to get in, to the bar, to most of the seating, and to the RADAR-locked accessible toilet. Some of the seating is on a dais, and a few of the tables at ground level are high ones, though most are normal-height. The other toilets are in the basement, down a straight wide stairwell with sturdy handrails on both sides. It's worth noting that the accessible toilet is right at the back, behind a little wall, and not immediately apparent unless you know where it is.
