About The Spread Eagle, Croydon
The Spread Eagle is a pub, bar and restaurant in Croydon, housed in a Victorian boozer with wood panels and chandeliers at 39-41 Katharine St. As a Fullers pub, it keeps HSB and London Pride on tap, and the kitchen pairs real ale with comfort food for anyone settling in for a meal.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly welcome and a pint of HSB, with the barman singled out as a host. Complaints include thin choice, only HSB beside London Pride, pricey drinks, and one doorman demanding a cap come off in a dark room. Staff are called chilled and lovely, and one diner's cold dishes upstairs were taken back to the kitchen and reheated.

“5 stars for the name alone. Everything else was great too.”

“Just left from there after 1 drink with friends, the place has a weird vibe with very dark lights. It’s unwelcoming that’s why it was empty, and the security guard was weird demanding me to take of my cap and he was asking if i am alright after 5 minutes and not saying anything else. He must have been a prison guard before the pub, because he is so rude and policing. I dont know what type of people go to this pub but I felt weird vibes like i am a criminal. After a drink we left and came to the Gteen Dragon next door, it’s much better place and friendly staff.”

“Fullers pub, only 1 other beer on tap rather than the boring London Pride! HSB which to be fair ain't a bad pint, but come on , where is the choice of a decent pint. Went over to the Green Dragon where they have more choice of beer Good music though! Classic 80's some top tunes Thanks..”

“Went in a just a pint with a friend. Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly, lovely pint of HSB and Zac the barman made us feel very welcome. He is a brilliant host, and I come from a family of hoteliers so I would never say that lightly. Thank you.”
