It's amazing how quickly you find out how miserly you are when asked to pay out £14 for a burger, fries, & a drink. I realised that my taste buds are psychologically affected by how light my wallet feels by the end of lunchtime. The other issue is the decor. It makes Burger King look like Christian Dior decorated their premises by comparison. Five guys have full potato sacks that act as barriers for the queue. Chic? Meh. The point is that the food is very good but not good enough to warrant another £8 on top of what it would cost elsewhere.

The ale selection on tap was a little odd - I think 5 pale ales plus one amber ale, in December, with no dark ales at all but the Kernel export stout in bottles was delicious if a tad pricey. Apparently it's often on tap so keep an eye. The Christmas burger was incredibly good - the combination of camembert, cranberries and mustard mayo brought so many surprisingly complementary flavours and fundamentally the meat itself was fantastic. Best burger I've had in a while. I liked how there is a video games corner - a comfy sofa in front of a tv and you can borrow mario kart from the bar! There's also table football and pool and it got very noisy as competitive spirits rose, so caution if you're looking for somewhere really calm, but overall I'd love to come back here and will try to do so as unfortunately it's likely to close due to some horrible luxury micro flat development killing the only thing in the area that would actually service the tastes of the kind of people in the market for a luxury micro flat. Will be a real loss for Croydon if that happens.

A wide variety of eateries are held within the Boxpark. As long as you have some money in your…read morepocket or some plastic as many places seem to be going cash free. The eateries range from Thai, Italian, Caribbean, deserts, meat, veggie. The vibe is always relaxed and they do a variety of different events. From live sports, tribute bands, concerts, New Years eves parties, fitness classes (on mass), Champions League Finals, Crystal Palace Footballers in the house, Love Island shows too name but a few. The environment is always clean and there are never (I've never seen one) any drunks knocking about the place. You can work from there in an afternoon and work into the early evening meet colleagues and have something to eat and drink and reminisce. The other great thing is it's right next to East Croydon train station easy access to teams and taxi ranks, what more could you need!!

Before Boxpark opened, the best thing Croydon had going on for itself was probably the East Croydon…read morestation... to which Boxpark is now literally adjacent. (You can walk in just seconds after tapping out at a ticket barrier.) I don't think Croydon will become the Shoreditch of zone 5 anytime soon, but it seems like Boxpark will definitely spice up the local food scene. If you're a fan of food trucks, you'll love the concept here. But instead of kitchens on wheels, imagine actual storefronts serving up street food. The hardest part of your meal will be deciding what to eat because more than 30 eateries call Boxpark home. (Some restaurants also have street entrances.) Boxpark is made up of repurposed shipping containers -- this gives it a cool industrial vibe, but it isn't an obnoxious hipster atmosphere that would alienate anyone. But if you're eating in, note that it can get a little loud. I'd recommend the chicken schwarma wrap with lightly spiced fries from Lazeez (this meal was the only thing I could stomach during my jet lag-induced nausea) and the fried chicken bao from Bao Bao. However, expect food truck prices (read: high prices that don't justify the amount of food you get) but that might just be something that comes with the territory in London.

This gem of a KFC shop is located inside The Prince pub, what appears to be just a regular pub outside. But no, step inside and you will find one bar upstairs and one downstairs with seating and flowers everywhere. It's a great garden style pub! There are a few different little food stands inside. I am thrilled we chose Coqfighter to try their Korean fried chicken. Absolutely recommend the Honey Buffalo Burger with sweet and spiciness and the crunch of pickles with delicious fried chicken. The chicken wings were also amazing and came with two dipping sauces: sweet teriyaki and spicy red. The wings had sesame coating, divine! My friends also enjoyed the fried chicken baos with daikon. Same great chicken in a bao bun without the buffalo sauce. I am thrilled they deliver! :)

So, we decided to get something for takeaway rather than wait. At the takeaway window the guy was disorganised and took a unnecessarily long time to take our order. Then when placing the order based on what was on the menu he said that changed. In this case a child's menu item that was supposed to come with hash browns. But it turns out it doesn't anymore. Then update your menu! So, he charged us for a side of hash browns. Then after getting the terrible service, from the dismissive guy working, they charged a service fee. Seriously? A 4.40 service fee for being slow and doing a terrible job. So my friend went to talk to the manager about the service charge and not providing items on the menu, the person he spoke to kept trying to dismiss him because they were "busy" and didn't have time to address his issue. Eventually he did get the service charge and hash browns refunded. After all this the breakfast burritos were ok at best. Large does not always equal good. And being busy is not an excuse for bad service.
