"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!"

Such a lovely place! We loved the food, fresh and delicious! We felt like we were in a nice little paradise! The lovely woman that served us was very nice and friendly. They got fresh fish and many options for homemade desserts!

Just had a lovely Sunday roast here following a Sunday morning walk in Shirley Hills. What a fabulous warm and friendly pub. All the staff were super friendly and the food was amazing. Great place to eat or just have a drink and watch the football. Great place.

I've been twice to this place. The second time even better than the first one. They really are seafood experts. Loved it. Today I had oysters and lobster. We were lucky enough to get even some sangria. Highly recommended. I suggest to call to book a table in advance, just in case :

dined here shortly before england lockdown 2.0 charming little pub in shirley with a seafood/tapas restaurant in the back. the restaurant inside is quite dark, but the toilets were very clean and they can see in the kitchen that is very soothing. service was very friendly and personal. the menu was somewhat limited as they had to close for a month, but the dishes we had were very tasty and the homemade desserts were traditional and comforting. I would definitely go back if they were in full.

we had lunch on surprise inn for the first time on last Tuesday and it was amazing. the tapas were really delicious and very generous help. beautiful cheesecake too. we sat outside in their beautiful garden and spent a very relaxing couple of hours there. the service was perfect. emma looked us brilliant and so cheerful, although she was hastened by her feet. we were with a family member with dementia that loved and were made to feel so welcome by emma. we will definitely come back when we are back in shirley. Thanks emma. You made us the day.

"I hadn't been here since my mother brought me as a teenager in 1965, when it was the Chalet Suisse. We were welcomed by a waitress seeing us coming and opening the door for us, ushered to a table by the window. We both had a fish dish, myself a crab-stuffed fillet of plaice, my wife a seabass paella with mussels. My plaice was succulently fresh, with a subtly spiced filling and sauce, The new potatoes were perfect. My wife is from a fishing family in Brittany so really knows her fish, and her saffron paella met with unconditional approval. The buckshee bread chunks in a basket already on the table were left, so I could enjoy mopping up the last of the lovely flavour of the juice. After polishing off the little extra pot of sweet potato fries, for dessert we had a special, Eton Mess, and banana cream profiteroles, which we swapped half way through, just gorgeous, and a filter coffee to finish off. With a couple of beers all for a fraction over £50 this was extraordinary value. This was no ordinary pub-chain grub. Every dish had something unusual and special to commend it, whether the spicy crab or the tart passionfruit syrup setting off the usually overwhelmingly sweet Eton Mess. This was proper cooking by someone who really knows their stuff, nicely presented but without fuss. Our fellow diners were all friendly and accomodating in a fairly small space, some engaging in jolly conversation with us. The service was attentive, kind. and unobtrusive. There was music but not overly loud and the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. I've heard this place mentioned by others before over the years and very much wish we'd made the effort to visit before now, our wedding anniversary. We will go again for sure, and take others with us too!"

"This is a small, very nice, non-chain coffee shop selling tea, coffee, some savoury sandwiches plus snacks and cakes. (Not to be confused with 'Smoothbean ' which is also in Croydon and also very good, but the two have no connection.)What 's good about it? It 's non-chain, so you 're actually dealing with nice people offering good service, not just wage slaves at the front end of a vast, impersonal corporation. The quality of the tea and coffee is as good as anywhere else. The service is warm, human, friendly and personal. The staff are efficient and helpul but also pleasantly informal. They don 't have a very wide selection of things to eat. However, what they DO have is all very nice and good value, whether you want savoury and healthy or sweet and indulgent. I loved the little 'bakesmiths ' cakes they sell that say 'made by hand in small batches ' on the label. What 's maybe not so good? Well, it 's not in what you 'd call a great location. Plus it 's really small. Upstairs (at street level) there are just two small tables and space for maybe five or six people at most (assuming some don 't mind sitting at the window). Downstairs, there are a chairs and sofas providing room for about eight people, although it 's a bit cramped.All in all, the think to love about Crushed Bean is the tone, the atmosphere, the fact that it 's small, friendly and informal and run by human beings rather than branded corporate drones intent on hitting targets. Go there at a not-too-busy time and you can enjoy a little bit of peace and quiet and know that you 're choosing to support a small, independent coffee shop and not one of the behemoth chains. Bonus good point #1: if you ask for your milk on the side, it comes in a miniature milk bottle. This cute touch should be standard practice but isn 't.Bonus good point #2: They offered me a free tea refill. Nowhere else that I 've been to does this.Bonus good point #3: They are right opposite Cake Box, a wonderful emporium of gloriously unhealthy options."
