About Purley Arms

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly, welcoming staff and landlord, with the bar described as a traditional, old school pub. Others mention good beers, a summer pint of cider in the small, clean garden, a pool table and horse racing. Two reviewers disagree: one was told to spend a minimum on alcohol, not fizzy drinks, to watch the game, and another felt unwelcome.

“Terrible pub, went to watch the game and got told i have to spend a tenner or im not allowed in, not even any fizzy drinks just straight alcohol. avoid at all costs.”

“Appalling pub. If your face don't fit you can do one.”
- Donna Stevens
“A lovely traditional pub in South Croydon. The landlord, Gerry, is really nice, and the bar staff are very friendly. I've not been here before and stopped by on my own. It has a small but clean garden that is a lovely sun trap in the summer, they have a pool table and they show the horse racing. I would recommend stopping by for a nice summer pint of cider and a chat with some of colourful characters who frequent this establishment. A great day!”
