Randomness Guide to London Menu

Fuller's pub in South Croydon, a short walk from South Croydon Station.

Entrance is into the main bar area, with standing room around to the right and a booth-lined corridor to the left leading on to a back room with more chairs and tables. There's outdoor seating at front and back.

There are at least six handpumps on the bar, serving Fuller's ales plus at least one guest (Tomos Watkin's OSB on our visit). A display of old pump clips behind the bar reveals that the guest ales cover a fairly wide range.

Kake and several others visited on a Friday evening in April 2013. It was quite full when we arrived around 6:15pm, with drinkers lining the bar, though there were tables free in the back room. An hour later it was packed, but some of our party (who'd been here many times before) noted that it isn't always this busy, even on a Friday. Service was friendly despite being busy.

As of April 2013, food is served noon-3pm and 6pm-9pm Mon-Fri, and noon-6pm Sat-Sun. As well as the regular menu, they usually have a couple of specials written up on a chalkboard. In April 2013, Kake's chicken and bacon sandwich was very generously filled, and served with a mixture of perfectly fresh salad leaves, cucumber, and tomatoes. The macaroni cheese ordered by another of our party looked good, too, with plenty of sauce and apparently a good dollop of mustard included to give it zing.

Accessibility: A step to get in, and it's fairly cramped inside when full.
