Always a great evening drinking in the garden at The Dig & Bull. We?ve been using since before covid and it?s always a pleasure to sit in the lovely garden. Always a good post work crowd in there and a good atmosphere.

Our favourite pub in Croydon. Being local, it?s wonderful to have this place on our doorstep to pop into throughout the year, but especially during the summer with their fantastic beer garden. It?s a huge sun trap and we?ve spent many a happy summer?s evening there. With it being on Surrey Street, you have the best that Croydon had to offer - the hustle and bustle of the market dating back to the 1600?s and the Dog and Bull dating back to a similar era. The food is brilliant too, as are the people who work there who will always make you feel very welcome. Thanks guys!

Happy Mothets Day! Not good. I ordered as soon as it opened at 5pm and was told an hour delivery and 1hr 45mins later it arrived!Green peppers raw in chicken & green pepper & black bean sauce, barely any meat on the duck, no chips and all luke warm. All for £40! Never again.

Best Chinese around! I?ve tried a few others around the area but nothing beats dans garden. The shredded beef with chilli is amazing so a must try. Good size portions and everything I order always tastes good.

Nice pub to have a drink. Food is nothing to rave about This is a lovely drinking pub but eat elsewhere. Service hit and miss. Bar service good. Cleaning tables with a grudge. Sat at n table with the previous punters dirty dishes for two hours - staff begrudgingly took it away.

We were revisiting our old home which was 66yrars ago. It was so nice to see the bar was the same. Beer and wine was excellent. The service was great very friendly and went out of the way to make us feel welcome. Five of us had a evening meal (which of course in our day was non existent) we all enjoyed our main courses the apple crumble was to die for. It was nice to see the snug was still there and the extension into the Cheese House. Also the outside with heated Boothe's and fleeces provided. The garden area we enjoyed in the afternoon with a vodka tonic, cider and chilled larger top. The toilet facilities was very modern ( that was part of our bathroom!!) In our time the kitchen was down below the bar, which now was a good size up stairs. We were all so pleased to see the Old Dog and Bull flourishing may it continue for many years. Well worth a visit in the old town. Thank you to the staff for making our return so memorable.

The Dog & Bull has seen several styles of cuisine come and go over the last five or six years- burgers, steaks, pizza, Caribbean, and others. They have a new chef at the stoves now, who started last week, and I popped in with a couple of friends to try the new fare. The menu is far more interesting than it had previously been and it appears obvious that the pub is stepping up to compete with local rivals in the culinary stakes. This can only be a good thing, as central Croydon certainly needs more places where you can sit down for a good quality meal; the town centre establishments, with one or two notable exceptions, tend to offer either standard pub grub or takeaways only. Standard pub grub this most certainly isn?t. Amongst our starters, the lamb belly ?chips? (essentially, lamb fish fingers) and clam chowder certainly hit the right notes but it was the potted shrimps that really stood out; I?ve had vastly inferior versions in expensive restaurants up in central London and these shrimps were so good that I could have had a second serving there and then. The mains were all delicious too; two of us chose the confit duck leg, which was beautifully succulent, and another had the chicken and tarragon pie, which he declared a resounding success. My goat curry (from the daily specials) was exemplary- in fact, almost as good as my own! There?s a decent selection of wines, both by the glass and by the bottle, and the pub?s selection of beers is both extensive and very well kept. Service was friendly and swift and the bill very good value given the quality of the meal. My next visit will be to try the Sunday lunch, which I?m certainly anticipating with relish. While it?s never going to be a ?gastropub?, having been around for several hundred years and established as a true market street local, the Dog & Bull has certainly elevated its cuisine by several notches now and it?s easily up with the best in the area. As I mentioned earlier, there?s been a high turnover of chefs here recently; let?s hope that this one stays for a very long time.

I only ever order chicken chow main and salt and pepper chicken so I am an expert on these dishes. Unfortunately, there was little evidence of chicken in the salt and pepper chicken, mostly batter and that?s not what I buy it for. The chow main was average, again very little meat and just a general disappointment. On a positive note, service was friendly and food came surprisingly quickly but I won?t order here again.

Very disappointed with our meal delivered last night (arrived an hour & half after being ordered)None of the food was as good & tasty as it usually is - even the prawn crackers were chewy.Apparently it was a busy night but that is no excuse for poor quality food

If i could give ZERO I would. Disgusting behavior from the staff to say the least. I went on the 13th of june with 2 girlfriends.From the start the customer service was poor. Only dictating MASK, SANITIZE,TRACK. We finally managed to get a seat.we wanted to order some food, and none of the staff told us that the kitchen was close.ok.fair enough.we order potatoes. That one was in the menu. They came with a packet of crisps.ok. time to go.no more nonsense. I ws walking out , very disappointed to say the least and one of the waiter shouted at me:MASK. and i said i was leaving.it was litterally 2 step out.he told me FUxxx Oxx in front of every customers and my friends. I could not believe it.nobody and i say nobody of the staff said anything to defend me from the waiter(or landlord, i don't know) I am a 42 educated years old woman and i felt completely offended and disrespected. That waiter, a british man in his 40' need to be fired cz a behaviour like that is not acceptable. I felt like i was going to call the police for arrassement. Free to contact me for more infos Laura
