🚧 **WE’RE OPEN… WE THINK YOU CAN GET TO US! 🤣🍺**

Croydon Council Highways didn’t respond to our emails, so we’ve been left with **no clear idea whether vehicles will actually be allowed through to the Wattenden today.**

Closing and restricting access to a local business on a busy summer weekend with no proper communication is, frankly, utterly ridiculous. **Thank you, Mayor Perry! 🙃**

BUT… **THE WATT IS OPEN!** 🍻

We want to see all our lovely regulars, so please don’t let the *ROAD CLOSED* signs put you off. **Until 5pm, please park at the aerodrome and walk across to us.**

And we’re keeping everything crossed that they let the **b**r delivery through!** 🤞🍺😂

Just another wonderful day at **The Watt!** 🤣

Come and support your local — **we’re here and waiting for you! 💚🍻**

🌒 Raise a glass to an astronomical delight! 🍻

The Croydon Astronomical Society is hosting free public viewing sessions for the deep partial solar eclipse at Kenley Airfield on Wednesday 12 August 2026.

After looking to the skies, join us at the Wattenden Arms — just a three-minute walk from the airfield — for a drink & a chance to celebrate this spectacular event together.

📍 Wattenden Arms
🗓 Wednesday 12 August 2026
🥂 Everyone welcome

Please follow expert advice & never look directly at the Sun without certified eclipse-viewing protection.

Breakfast Service Update

After two years of serving breakfast, we've made the difficult decision to stop our breakfast service.

Unfortunately, with the rising costs of running a business, the demand hasn't been high enough to make it sustainable.

From now on, The Wattenden Arms will open at 11:30am, seven days a week.

We'd like to thank everyone who supported our breakfast offering over the last two years, and we look forward to welcoming you from 11:30am for lunch, drinks, and everything else you love about the pub.

Thank you for your continued support. ❤️
