Close to Addiscombe Tram Stop, the Claret & Ale is a small, privately owned friendly free house with a constantly changing selection of cask ales in addition to the popular Palmers IPA. Current and coming beers - often including a second Palmers beer - are indicated on a board on the wall opposite the bar. Ales without brewery glasses are served in over-sized 20.75fl oz glasses. The TV screens show a variety of sporting events, usually with the sound muted. Events are held to raise money for charity. The pub has often been the local CAMRA Croydon Pub of the Year, and is again for 2024.
