    In my younger days I was a fan of TGI's less so now in general. This one is located near the Croydon 'Airport'. I think there may be a tram stop nearby but generally it is a drive with parking available at the back. Even though this TGIs is rather out of the way, you generally find that you do have to book so be aware! It does tend to get rather busy. Usual TGI set up with decor, bar area for a pre-drink and food being 'American diner' type. Burgers, ribs (which are usually very good, fall of the bone meat good), fries and calorie laden salads. Good range on the menu and on the cocktail side. Caters well for Kids with special menu but also things to keep them occupied. If you have a birthday event there, they usually get the restaurant to do a round of happy birthday to you and possibly crown you with a balloon hat also. Service is usually pretty 'American friendly', service can be hit and miss depending on who you get and how busy they are but generally the waiting staff try hard. From what is available in that area, it is one of the better options.

    The staff were very welcoming which is always nice. Our waitress was friendly but not very smiley, to be fair she did look a little rushed, but nonetheless she could have smiled a little more... We had nachos and a ' bucket of bones' ( chicken and ribs) to start which were ok, the bucket was tasty but not very big for the price - 11£ For mains we had ribs, burgers and vegetarian fajitas. The ribs were great the veggie fajitas were very nice...the burgers were horrible - very dry and not at all like the picture! The price of the meal was about 30£ per head with drinks Overall we had a good time and would return...but wouldn't have the burger!

    Top burgers in Purley! I've been here a couple of times now and I've enjoyed my meal all the time!…read moreYou can eat in or take away, the packaging for the takeaway is very nice, the chips come in mini boxes and the burger is in a paper wrap. When you eat in your meal comes in metal dishes with logo under your burger and chips! What I love about this place is the menu is simple, the ingredients are not so simple but mainly you chose what kind of burger ie chicken, beef then you can stop there or add other ingredients and then you can get fries which are not like your normal fries as they are freshly made and taste amazing as there's different toppings, then to top it off you could have a milkshake or an alcoholic milkshake! There are much more items on the menu as they have a brunch menu and dessert! But if your getting a takeaway they are nice enough to let you sit down drink some cold water and enjoy freshly made popcorn! So the beef burger is my favourite as the buns are nice and soft, the burger is a good thick portion which is very juicy - I'm starting to think they must steam the burger as when you bite into it it is just clear meat juice! The sweet potatoe fries are the best and I like to top it all off with a Reece's peanut butter milkshake which is so yummy you can drink the whole thing too quickly but the best bits is the chocolate at the bottom which I grab a spoon and enjoy the scrapings at the bottom of my milkshake! The staff are really friendly and you can place orders at 11.30am every day!

    The burgers are excellent very tasty and cooked well. The ambiance is great, good use of recycled…read morepallets for the tables. Staff were a little overwhelmed today somehow, but that didn't detract from the experience. A couple did leave before they got served as they had other things to do, it's not a fast food joint! Their chilli jam is a great companion, just the right amount of chilli. The rosemary chips are perfect. I'll be back.

Such a fun spot. I had heard a lot about The Plough and wanted to see it for myself. Even though I had come in on a slow night I was still treated better than I had ever been in any American pub. Plus it's on the Peep Show tour path in Croydon so had to make the special pilgrimage. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I are visiting from the U.S. and decided that in our six weeks based in the…read moreBeddington neighborhood, a few minutes walk down the street to have a traditional Sunday Roast at The Plough, our local pub, would be a quintessential English experience. After being here for four weeks, we stopped in yesterday afternoon to make it happen. I ordered the chicken/pork mix and my husband went with the beef. Each main came with sides of cooked veggies, Yorkshire pudding, golden roasties, all covered in a house-made gravy. Our portions were generous and the gravy, for me, was the highlight; the combination of the potato chunks dipped into the gravy, letting it soak into them, was divine! These two dishes, plus a beer for my husband, came to £26 total. The vibe was casual, with patrons just hanging out at tables, spread out throughout the place. There is a back patio, but we felt it was a bit chilly to dine outside, so we went with an indoor high table in-between the bar and one of the windows facing out front. We truly felt like we got a taste of a typical Sunday afternoon at the local pub. Note: We ordered and paid at the same time up at the bar.

    I was very disappointed in my visit here. We stopped in on a Sunday for breakfast and they were…read morebusy with around an hour wait. Totally understandable. Sunday brunch time. 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.
