Had a lovely evening (another one) at The Ludoquist last night with a friend where we managed to play 5 games, a couple of beers and pizza (which was piping hot and delicious) in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The staff are always lovely whether they are just taking your order at the counter or if you are asking for game recommendations or help with a game. I've never had a bad evening there and will certainly be returning again very soon. It's probably my favourite place to go out to nowadays and I hope to be able to make more regular trips there in the coming months, whether it's for an organised gaming evening such as the Light Wargaming that they put on or just meeting up with some friends. For me it is definitely the best place in Croydon.

2 for 1 value and an ambiant venue with lots of character, great music and fantastic service. It's well worth a visit for just a casual drink or two or for an exclusive party (I've been to a few here and the buffet has been soooo good).

Reviewed By markjQ2016AM - Croydon, United Kingdom

I've been coming to this pub for over six years but never left a review. It's my local of choice and that's for a reason. Aside from the karoake night, it's a great pub with friendly barman/ bargirls and landlord. Easy access to East Croydon station (my downfall), nice outside area and sometimes even table service! (Thanks James!). Pool table too which is a rarity these days.
