The Surprise - Croydon

We had arranged a business meeting and then a meal with approx 10 people, The Surprise, Surprised everyone as our previous meeting place was too small. Lovely location, lovely meeting and well looked after. We re arranged the tables to suit ourselves let the meeting begin, all washed down with a selection of drinks which I would expect, and maybe that is why everyone was surprised, business meeting with real drinks, and and very productive meeting too!! Following the meeting almost all of us had a meal and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Despite a few challenges on this first meeting the Surprise Staff helped us overcome them thank you, we will be back next month!

Absolutely gorgeous roast … the best roast potatoes I’ve had in a long time! The ever lovely Madison was as attentive as always … all in a very relaxing atmosphere xx well done Surprise xxxx

We were expecting a restaurant but it was more a tapas type of place. The staff were friendly, but run off their feet due to the European cup final. It all seemed a bit shambolic, no one to greet us, no tables set up for eating, and people just wandering around. Teach us to eat early.. The fish was only just cooked, the fries overdone, and the pasta tasted bravas was fried wedges with a sauce on top.

We went for a family birthday and we were all completely satisfied.. The service from our waitresses Saffron and Maddy was superb, nothing was to much from them both and it’s nice to see service with a smile! The food was absolutely delicious, we had the paella and there was clean plates all round. We will definitely be going back and look forward to it.
