Each month, the Q-Online team takes time out from our busy schedule to visit a local restaurant. During lockdown, we missed out on the chance to sample tasty local delicacies in Croydon together, but could continue support local businesses thanks to delivery services.
In July, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, unveiled his new strategy to give the hospitality sector a boost –up to £10 off per head for anyone that eats out to help out in August, including children.
While some people were sceptical and likened the scheme to the popular discount website, Groupon, we think it’s a lovely way to get the community back together in a safe and controlled manner. Read on to see our list of fantastic Croydon restaurants to dine in this August.
This eye-catching new addition to the high street is well worth the visit. A traditional staple in South Asian countries, parathas can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This August, grab a seat to sip on half-price Kashmiri pink chai before tucking into delicious homemade parathas, made with the freshest ingredients.
This eccentric local eatery is well-known for its delicious French and modern European cuisine. During August, Little Bay is offering 50 per cent off meals from Monday to Wednesday. It’s the perfect opportunity to arrange a meal with friends or family, while the live opera performances will keep you entertained throughout the evening.
This beautiful new addition to South End is a feast for the eyes. The adventurous menu is sure to get your taste buds tingling as you delve into their array of small plates, brunch dishes and delightful Sunday roasts.
