This is a Fullers Ale and Pie House occupying a prominent street corner position on the edge of the High Street virtually next door to the Town Hall.
It’s a former bank and those who are familiar with the Ale and Pie concept will know what to expect – wood panelling, impressive chandeliers, columns and an upstairs balcony with additional rooms.
In contrast to many of the other Ale and Pies which, being based in the City of London, do not open at weekends, The Spread Eagle does normal pub hours on both Saturday and Sunday.
On my recent Sunday lunchtime visit, the pub was quite busy with a broad mix of customers of both sexes and all age groups. A number of TV screens dotted around the place on both floors were showing football and rugby matches and a good natured atmosphere dominated throughout.
The normal range of Fullers and Gales branded beers were available and the Pride was in good form. The pub has been a CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular in recent years.
You should include this one in any Croydon crawl.

Fullers pubs seem to be becoming clones of each other especially the Ale & Pie Houses. This one is no different, tiled floors, a couple of sofas, loads of dark wood and etched glass, a good range of beers and horrendously expensive.

Clean, bright, offering a large range of Fullers beers in very good nick, had a plasma showing rugby (dk if they have sky), and the service was quick & friendly. After this visit, my calling this place bland-looking in a comparative review (of the Ship) now seems a little unfair.

Very large pub converted from a bank.It sells the full range of Fuller's beers and although it lacks atmosphere the beers are always in very good condition.10 mins from East/West Croydon stations.
