The Skylark - JD Wetherspoon

The covid-secure venue which is a favourite hub in Croydon for meet-ups. The drinks are cheap but fantastic value and taste and the food for the money is next to none perfection! The place to be in my humble opinion!

Very busy on the weekends, great atmosphere and just a brilliant place to be.
The people who chose to shut down this pub are idiots. Everyone including the staff is upset about it.

A lovely wetherspoons based near the beach with a delicious breakfast and family feel.

Did forget our drinks we ordered from the app before the bar closed upstairs. (happens, I think it is due to the way the spoons app is set up in the pub)

Though when I questioned it, they instantly helped us and sorted it all out.

Also did us a favour when someone forgot to add a drink on the app.

Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere!

Definitely be back!

Lost track how many times I went here for 'just a few' or 'a quick drink' and ended up having a wonderfully insane drunken night. The booze is cheap and the Beer on tap flows. It's not some high class Establishment, but it's a great venue for the mates to get drunk in. To watch Football or get a fair priced meal. Food isn't bad. Recommend for what it is.

I found The Skylark busy enough to give it a pleasant atmosphere, without deafening background noise or a long wait to be served.
Service was good, the food very good, particularly for the price. A good range of beers, at very good prices, and the place was kept tidy, no tables left full of empty plates or glasses.

Went with a big group and for the price I cannot fault the quality nor the service. Really tasty food and easy to order (via app or just up at the bar) and came really quickly to the table. Good value with many of the meals coming with free drinks! Had the quinoa salad and fried haloumi, really enjoyed both and will definitely be back again.

Really nice with friendly staff and customers. Quick service at the bar with tonnes of seating upstairs, where there was another bar serving. Returned late Saturday where I had a delicious lamb shank, great menu with tonnes to choose from. Sefinitely going again.

What a nice and cosy pub. They have another special on every weekday. Especially the steak and the chicken special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is clearly recommend. Not only by the price that is fair but mainly because of the very good food you get.
Since it's a pub you order the food either at the bar over via some app called wetherspoon. But the food is being brought to your table.
If you're a fan of sauces, you will be lucky since there is a broad selection of different sauces on the right hand side of the bar.
They serve freshly drawn beer for different tastes and also various types of bottled ones. Also a nice selection of gins and whiskeys for those who like. Good place!

You can never go wrong with a spoons, prices are very good. Staff are polite and friendly. Food is there to be served if needed also. Generally busy in the evening due to people passing through before eating out in South Croydon, but never a long wait to be served. If around the area I would recommend.

Can't complain with a Wetherspoons. This place is big, spread over 2 floors with a small outdoor area. Bar service is always pretty quick or the Wetherspoons app is a great alternative. You get a good mix of people in here from the hard-core day drinkers to couples to twenty somethings on a night out

I love it here. Often meet my partner on a Friday afternoon after work. He's usually delayed and I'm comfortable here on my own until he arrives. Lovely staff and service, good choice of wine and ales, good prices, nice atmosphere and there's a downstairs loo for those like myself who struggle with the stairs.

Superb pub. Nice warm and friendly. Great starting point and continuing for a amazing night out. Outside of Croydon main drinking establishments but not too far if you wanna go on in the centre and club the night away. But if you wanna continue drinking in the Skylark it's a great relaxed atmosphere. Well worth it. Everytime I gave been there I've had a pleasant night out

Cheap pints as usual with spoons. Lovely little garden at the back of the house, quiet, when the main floor was very busy during our visit. It's quite big pub, two floors and full of locals on Sunday evening.

Its a great place to eat in south croydon uk.

Nice atmosphere and good social distancing . Food was good

I've just discover this wonderful pub in South Croydon. It has an amazing selection of drinks and an extensive food menu - all for such good prices. I look forward to coming here more often in the future.

Good pub for cheap drinks and friendly atmosphere. Very large inside - can hold 200 -300 people i think. Bar can be too busy at times and understaffed, so you have to wait to get served sometimes. Food isnot bad apparently but I have not eaten there so cannot comment.

Was told that this was a troublesome place being where it's situated. We'll from our experience tonight all I can say is hogwash. Ordered quickly served quickly and as for price £25 for 3 Meals 2 x Empire State Burgers a State Dog all served with Chips and Onion Rings plus 3 Shandy pints don't think this can be beaten for Value. We shall be back for sure.

Was served by Ryan, sadly after an incident where he refused to serve someone without Id and they accused him of being racist, I’m Pakistani with Jamaican husband who he’s served millions of times. Even though he was basically abused by this group he served us professionally. Also Scott and Kameron looked after us really well! They are all credit to the skylark. Jamie was brilliant also.
