- Phipps40Horsham, United Kingdom53 contributionsFood was good but service could be betterDecided to go to this pub for lunch having had a bad experience at another restaurant moments before. We waited to be seated by staff for a couple of minutes but when they didn’t come we just sat down. We waited several minutes to be approached by staff but when they didn’t come I politely asked a passing member of staff if we needed to order at the bar or at the table and the male member of staff abruptly said ‘wait’ and waved his arms as if he was angry. When he did come he was pleasant but wasn’t engaging. The two of us ordered the crocodile club sandwich which was nice and iced coffees, which were also nice. All in all service could be much better but the food was good. Would go back but only because of the food.Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 6, 2023
- Joanna S27 contributionsFriendly pubA friendly and relaxed pub. We liked it so much we visited 5 times on our recent holiday. The staff were very attentive, gave service with a smile, and remembered our preferred drinks each evening. We didn't try the food, but portions looked good size. Great music too.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 21, 2023

- JessicaLeeds, United Kingdom26 contributionsQuick pintWent in for a pint. Staff were friendly enough and chilled vibe. They have a big flat screen so I can imagine when the football is on then it is a good experience. Toilets are upstairs, not sure if there are any disabled downstairs. It’s chilled enough to pop in for a beer. Cheap and take card so why not heyVisited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 26, 2024
- Sally StokesEngland, United Kingdom4 contributionsAmazing bar!We came to Paphos this April for our wedding and found this bar across from our hotel. This bar has such a family vibe, so welcoming. We went in every day especially for the football with the big screens. We could not be more grateful for how brilliant /kind all of the staff were. Our little boy is autistic and we struggle to get him to eat abroad, and they kindly offered to cook his food for him that we’d brought over ourselves. Thank you so much for such a fab time in your bar , we hope to be back soon. Sally, David & George :)Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 12, 2024

When I was in Paphos I visited The Crocodile nearly every day around lunchtime.
Either had a pint of Keo or a Frothy Coffee and a Toasty.😊
Alex and the rest of the staff were always happy to see you.
You were made very welcome.
It was lovely just to sit in the sunshine chilling out, people watching 🙏
Highly recommend 👍

Returned after five years and was delighted to discover that The Crocodile was still going strong. We visited everyday either lunchtime or evening and sometimes both! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are second to none. Cocktails are particularly good as is the food. Alex goes above and beyond to serve and entertain customers, nothing is too much trouble. Neofutos was particularly attentive and friendly. We hope to be back soon.

Lunch / drinks
Not only did the host remember our previous order after a previous fleeting visit, but the second time we passed we stopped for lunch.
Amazing.
Chicken kebab and a village salad with feta. Absolutely delicious!
100% recommended!
*forgive the photos - totally forgot until we finished #cleanplateclub *

We visited this establishment in the last few days . We quite liked the idea of a bit of people watching. Couple of beers and a to be fair lovely bottle of wine at a reasonable price .
The problem really was the bar lady , we felt like we were an inconvenience, no smile no warm welcome. Surly and abrupt. She clearly had zero hosting skills . …

Great bar and right opposite our hotel where we stayed, this was a return visit as we had been before. Nothing had really changed we were welcomed back like old friends; the beer is good the food is also good and all reasonably priced. It is also a good place to watch the football very friendly atmosphere, will be there on my next trip to Pathos really like the place.

Visited this pub whilst out for a walk after dinner. The welcome was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Spoilt for choice with cocktails with approx 100 to choose from! It is obviously a very popular watering hole for a number of customers. Well worth a visit and would highly recommend.
