Crown
28 Wickham Road, Shirley, Croydon CR0 8BA
This Ember Inns pub has a large restaurant area, and specialises in its food options although there is plenty of room for patrons only wishing to drink. There is a large conservatory and a pleasant garden. Following an extensive refurbishment in 2016 there are now eight hand-pumps, and Ember Ale has been added to the list of regulars alongside Brakspear Bitter. The guest beers change regularly and can come from anywhere in the UK. Note that if you arrive by car between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, you have to purchase a ticket from the machine in the car park; you can reclaim the cost at the bar when you order food or drink.
Surprise
107 Upper Shirley Road, Croydon CR0 5HF
The Surprise has recently been refurbished, and now serves good quality food, including Sunday lunch and a mussels menu. The pub is situated between Shirley Hills and the Shirley Windmill on bus routes from Croydon and Addington. It is also adjacent to the London Loop. Old photographs on the walls show Shirley when it was a more rural area. A postcard of the pub shows it in Page & Overton livery; it later became a Charrington's house.
Cricketers
107 Addiscombe Road, Croydon CR0 6SG
For four months from 8 September 2017 The Cricketers was called 'Miss P's Barbecue'. Although it has the same owners it has reverted to its former name. The style will become an American diner with a wider range of food and and extended range of bottled beers. Food not served on Monday or Tuesday.
Broad Green Tavern
296 London Road, Croydon CR0 2TG
Re-opened in September 2019 after 9 years, now one bar, two hand pumps, but only one in use. Sports Television. Pool table (free on Mondays)
Green Dragon
58 High Street, Croydon CR0 1NA
Lively pub near Croydon's historic market, which is popular with all ages. Eight handpumps now dispense a constantly changing range of beers sometimes including those from local breweries. It also has eight craft keg lines and serves up to six boxed ciders. A wide variety of music and other events takes place upstairs including a Monday quiz, poker on Tuesdays and monthly open mic sessions.
Store
73 South End, Croydon CR0 1BF
Opened in October 2018, the Joker was a large, single bar pub decorated in a modern style, and a sister pub to the Joker in Brighton. Pared-back walls expose original tiling from when it was a branch of Sainsbury's, and a mix of seating styles combined with a range of plants give a continental feel. Up to two changing cask ales were originally available, but the handpumps are now unused. There is an interesting range of keg, canned and bottled beers including local brews. A room at the rear is available for separate hire. There is a pool table, but no TV screens. Renamed the Store in September 2019.
Dog & Bull
24 Surrey Street, Croydon CR0 1RG
Historic town centre pub with origins back to the 16th century. An island bar serves the separate rooms and the walled garden at the rear is arguably one of the town's best kept secrets.
Orchard
112 Cherry Orchard Road, Croydon CR0 6BA
A two-bar pub, popular with the local community. Recently refurbished, the pub shows Sky and BT Sports, and there is occasional entertainment such as karaoke. There is a large outside area at the rear of the pub with a covered smoking area. A function room is available for hire.
