Hallmark Hotel Croydon

The Hallmark Hotel Croydon is home to a fantastic restaurant that is well worth a visit, whether you are staying in the hotel or not. The Brasserie Restaurant Croydon is a chilled-out affair with an eye-catching menu of fantastic fresh food. Starters such as confit duck salad with hoisin and sweet chilli sauce sit alongside the likes of chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche and spiced apple chutney. Mains cover all bases with pastas, grills, seafood and steak all featuring on the main menu as well as traditional classics like battered fillet of fish with mushy peas. Puddings are not to be overlooked - make room for a divine dark and white chocolate roulade or grab two spoons and dive into a creamy, indulgent Knickerbocker Glory. To complete a fine three-course meal you need an excellent beverage and Brasserie Restaurant Croydon excels in terms of its wine selection. The wine cellar is constantly updated in line with the seasonally changing menu, so no matter what you plump for, you can guarantee its perfect partner will be on the wine list.

If it's a bit of down time you're after, settle in for a lazy afternoon in the relaxing Lounge Bar and perhaps indulge in a spot of afternoon tea. Fabulous finger sandwiches, fluffy freshly baked scones smothered in strawberry preserve and lashings of Cornish clotted cream, pastries and cakes can be accompanied by a traditional pot of tea or jazzed up with a glass of bubbly. There are also light bites available throughout the day, such as tasty ciabatta and freshly cut sandwiches
