This week, the Curry Club stumbled upon an absolute hidden gem 💎 – The Jolly Farmers in Purley. Could this be Croydon’s best-kept secret?? 👀 From the front, it’s giving standard pub vibes, but head round the back and BOOM 💥—a gorgeous beer garden straight out of nowhere. Then you find out they serve curries cooked by a renowned chef?! Say less. Let’s dig in 👇 ⸻ 🥣 Pickle Tray (sort of): 3.5 / 5 We switched it up this week and went rogue with the Madras Chips instead. 🔥 A cracking little starter/side with a serious kick—flavour-packed, spice-fuelled, and perfect for sharing (or not). A welcome curveball. 🍻 Pints: 4 / 5 Cold. Crisp. Perfectly poured. Went for Amstel over the usual Cobra/Kingfisher (because pub life), but they’ve got a top-notch draft selection. Zero complaints. 🍛 The Curry: 4 / 5 The star of the show ⭐️. We went for the Tandoori Mixed Grill and WOW. Sizzling platter, insane aroma 🤤 and loaded with goodies: wings, kebab, king prawns, tulsi chicken – the works. Highly recommended! Everything marinated to perfection. Only thing missing? A yoghurt dip to cool things down. Also, don’t sleep on the Chilli Cheese Naan 🤝 Service: 5 / 5 Elite. Like, genuinely elite. Table service for food and drinks, glasses never empty, staff super friendly. Whether you’re there for a pint or a platter, they’ve got you covered. Effortless, attentive, and honestly? Couldn’t fault it. 💵 Price: 4 / 5 We clocked in at £25pp. Bit pricier than your average curry house, but you’re paying for proper quality—and it delivers. Pints are well priced too, which always helps. ⭐️ Overall: 4.3 / 5 This place ticks every box: cracking food, faultless service, chilled vibes, live sports, music nights—the lot. Definitely our new go-to local. If you haven’t been, sort it out. Everyone get down to this place. We promise you won’t be disappointed. This one will be tough to beat! 📍 The Jolly Farmers, Purley – Croydon Curry Club approved ✅#Croydon #Curry #indianfood #indiancuisine #ofcoursewellhavealook - @croydoncurryclub
