It has undergone a tasteful refurbishment, with Croydon-related pictures and comfortable furniture. It is a large one-bar pub, with a pool table in a separate area, and a couple of TVs showing sport. The pub now serves a full menu, Wednesday to Sunday. Cask ale may occasionally be available.

Listed status: Not listed
A rare example of a pub that has retained a small publican’s office.
This substantial three–storey corner pub was built in 1864 when it was owned by the brewery Nalder and Collyer. Today its chief claim to fame is that within its island bar it has retained a small publican’s office. Once common in Victorian and some inter-war pubs, very few remain today. Some say that as few as twenty exist nationwide. In the Alma it resides behind the elegant bar-back which has mirrored sections (not original) and an old clock at its summit. The island bar still occupies its original location. In all other areas, however, the pub has lost its original fittings having been much opened out over the years.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Sometimes available) and 0 regular beers.
