The Crown and Sceptre, South Croydon

Just noticed Susie.P’s post. I now agree with her and the Crown and Sceptre is as popular as ever. I have started drinking there again and the Fullers beer is excellent once more. It may be a coincidence but this seems to have happened since the licensees themselves now have the coveted “Master Cellarman” award. Keep up the good work.

The Crown and Sceptre, South Croydon

Have been going to this pub fairly regularly over the last few years. Recently there's been a very noticable deterioration in the quality of the ales served. This seems to have coincided with the leaving of the aforesaid cellar person who had the "Master Cellarman" qualification. The beer that's being sold now at this pub is well below the standard I expect in a Fullers pub. At �3.50/�3.60 a go, the customer should receive a perfect fresh pint, not stale ale served with the sparkler on to disguise the appearance.
