Oscars Brasserie - Croydon

Took my 6 year old grandson for a 'grown up 'Sunday lunch and it was perfect. The staff were fabulous and really welcoming. The food was plentiful and good for a buffet style. I will definitely return with a family group.

We were delayed from entering the restaurant for 20 mins. Although nobody came over to explain why. Another customer informed us we should go back and wait in the bar. We actually couldn't get a drink in the bar because there was nobody serving. When we eventually got in the restaurant nobody bought any bread round there was hardly any cutlery ,no condiments . the beef was labelled as lamb and lamb was/labelled as beef. No sweet bowls. And had to ask twice for the tea and coffee . we have been coming to the Croydon park for some years and this was by far our worst experience also our friends who went the following week had the same experience and said they wouldn't be going back. Such a shame we have always enjoyed ourselves there but not sure we will be going back. I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone whereas before I have always said how lovely it was

We have been coming here for the festive lunch for 15 years. After this year, we won't be back. The dining room was not ready, despite people booking months in advance. We were in queue for 20 mins just to be seated. There were not enough staff to either take drink orders or replenish food. If things ran out you had to find a member of staff, ask, and wait. We had to queue for 15 mins for the buffet, there was no chance of revisiting it at that speed. It also meant that we were hemmed in with a queue looming and chatting over us as we sat for the entire time we were there. Selection of seafood buffet noticibly reduced. Poor atmosphere, poor quality and poor experience.

Reasonable choice and quite tasty. Bit of a mix-up with the soups but very friendly and helpful staff

Using the buffet means that all food tastes can be accommodated. The starter table is so extensive that one could have a starter and main course from that alone, and it is the starter that is outstanding. But there is always hot food with plenty of choice and lots of vegetables, and usually a roast which is carved for you. It is an excellent place to entertain anyone whose food tastes you are not sure of, or anyone with a very large appetite as you can make as many trips to the buffet as you like!
