Jolly Farmers — Restaurant in London

I and few friends along with our families met for celebrating 50th Birthday of a friend. The pub is on the main junction of purely, still has parking for upto 6 or 7 cars. We were there on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were extremely polite and accommodatin. We were nearly 32 people including children, so they gave us a section of the pub to rearrange the seating. I must admit we are very loud group :) . Considering that and multiple orders from children seated on a separate tables along with orders from the adults, the staff did a brilliant job in keeping all of us happy. The food they serve is Indian and I'm not exaggerating when I say hands down it beats some of the top end Indian restaurants easily and at a reasonable price. The Samosas, chilli paneer were perfect, so were the sheek kebab, tulsi chicken etc. were awesome and mouth-watering starter platters. Once again the main course of dal makkani, Lamb shank, chicken curry, mutter paneer chicken and lamb briyani along with rotis, garlic naan breads were excellent. Once again far better than many Indian restaurants that I have been to before. Add to that at a decent price, you can't go wrong if you want to have few beers with some Indian curry in Purley. Do try it, you won't be disappointed.

We ate loads and drank lot of beers that's why per person spending given below may not...

AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!! If you don’t want to die!

Came here with friends for the first time, as wanted to catch up and have a nice curry. Worst experience ever! Firstly a couple of us had sever nut allergies and was given food that contained nuts, even though we asked the chef a few times to confirm there was no cross contamination or direct nuts in the meals we ordered. To our surprise the chef lied and told us there was no nuts at all in the kitchen even though we questioned the fact the menu stated some dishes contacted nuts, so avoided ordering those, 5 mins later the symptoms begins and we start to have a severe reaction.

We complained to the managers and chef and as a result the chef laughed directly in our faces and then told us that the menu that was all around the bar was “out of date” and that the “kitchen doesn’t have any nuts in” complete lies as now one of the parties is in hospital and not doing well at all!!!

I work in hospitality and carry an epi ped due to the severity of my allergy, and I know how serious this can be hence why we always ask ! This kitchen should be closed down and even more so the lack of support from the pub and management side who advised us we were band and not allowed to order a drink as we complained and...

Got kicked out twice, cos I got tipsy in the pub. Also been told off after being seen on the camera..doing what exactly? So go and enter the Big Brother aka Jolly Farmers. Just another pub at outskirts of London with hot shots bouncers. Also I'm Eastern European and I must say I had the 'unwelcome' feeling there. Nevermind. Who cares.

This place is just there for food. There is no real interest in people coming in to mingle and have a some Friday night fun. It's an eatery with thank you and good buy, oh, we have a live music if you'd like to stay, but that's in case you do.

Cameras everywhere, tip over a drink and bouncer is already informed looking around..so don't misbehave there.

That's no pub, just a place that wants to make some money from Indian food, make locals happy for couple of hours and shut for the night.

A gastro that's stays open a bit longer on...
