The Store, Croydon

In booking my table 2days in advance for a party of 10, I queried specifically if I needed to preorder our Roast dinner choices. I got no response on the day when we arrived we were told most of the roasts were sold out, So had to chose from a minimal list of options. When our Roasts arrived, they were terrible and expensive (potatoes werent roasted, veg was poor, chicken was exceptionally dry), the whole plate was bulked out by boiled white cabbage, no broccoli as advertised, gravy was also a let down. Staff were polite and friendly, and they did give us a free cauliflower cheese, but the meal was just so disappointing for the cost and money spent (nearly 300).

By far the best place in Croydon. We have tried Sunday roast, snacks, casual drinks and food is always on point. Great service and genuine dog and family friendly. We couldn't recommend enough. #localheroes

Staff really friendly and helpful, super dog friendly too which was great. Drinks where good and my friends meals looked really tasty. I got the Vegetarian Paella which I was really looking forward too. Would have been better if it came with some bread or side vegetables to add more to the dish. Dish was well cooked but unfortunately lacked the depth of flavour you would expect with a Paella. Maybe too heavy on the salt and not enough other seasonings. I would still definitely visit here again though! And was fine for the price

Amazing roast beef

I've held off reviewing because the interior of this place is exceptional. Unfortunately, that can not make make up for the inconsistent service we receive every time we visit... We attended the spring party a few weeks ago, a chance to show off a bit... instead, the staff seemed confused, and the service was poor (slow and incorrect order brought over several times). The real cherry on the cake was the fact that we were told the kitchen went on strike midway through the evening... the place went from being packed to half empty, we managed to get some small plates (what food we did get was good to be fair) but we whitnessed staff shouting at each other, doors slamming, etc... very unprofessional. Overall, it is worth a visit, but be prepared for inconsistent service.
