Randomness Guide to London Menu

Fuller's Ale and Pie house on Croydon High Street, in the Good Beer Guide.

The usual selection of Fuller's beers are available here, as well as the occasional guest ale. In August 2012 they had London Pride (£3.40/pint), Chiswick, ESB, HSB, and Wild River on handpump, along with London Porter on keg. A notable guest in November 2012 was the locally-brewed Clarence & Fredericks Best Bitter, while on our December 2012 visit there was a pump marked "coming soon" for Clarence & Fredericks Redcurrant Stout.

Food is served 11am-10pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-6pm Sunday. In January 2009, Robbie found the fish pie (around £9) to be a reasonably generous individual portion topped with cheesy mash. A steak burger was similarly priced and quite substantial, with the beef still a bit pink in the middle (though they don't ask you how you'd like it). The chips were of the "enormous slices of potato" school of thought, but tasty nonetheless.

They have free wifi; the access code is on a board behind the bar and also printed in the front of the menus.

There is a bookable function room upstairs with three distinct areas. As of August 2012, they don't charge for this but they do require a £50 deposit (which will be refunded as soon as you arrive on the night); they will also put a staff member on the upstairs bar at no charge if you can promise at least 30 attendees.
