About Little Bay Croydon
At 32 Selsdon Rd in South Croydon, Little Bay Croydon serves Modern European food in a room decorated to resemble a theatre, with red velvet furnishings throughout. Balcony seating overlooks the main dining room below. The kitchen's range runs from a goat cheese and beetroot salad and asparagus with Parma ham to moules mariniere and sirloin steak, with vanilla cheesecake among the desserts, drawn from a 35-item menu. Live opera singers perform on Mondays and Wednesdays, and performances also feature on some other evenings, including Fridays. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations and opens daily.

“Everything was perfect at Little Bay. The food, service and atmosphere. We didn't realise a live opera singer would come out and she was absolutely brilliant. Such an incredible place to eat. Huge thank you to the team for such a great evening - will definitely be back!”
- Derron Hamilton
“Had my daughter’s 23rd birthday dinner here and they absolutely didn’t disappoint. She loved the place and really enjoyed her meal. My family can be quite particular when it comes to eating out, so I was a bit unsure—but I’m happy to say there were no complaints at all, just compliments. Everyone was saying how they’ve walked past this restaurant for years and never thought to try it. A big thank you to the whole team at Little Bay for making the evening so special.”
