Long-closed Earl of Eldon pub is replaced by Portuguese deli

A long-boarded-up site on Brighton Road in South Croydon has opened for business this week – as Sabores da Terra, a “traditional Portuguese coffee shop and deli”.

The Earl of Eldon pub, once a Greene King boozer, closed in 2018, and has stood vacant on the prominent corner site at 63 Brighton Road, on the corner with Junction Road, ever since.

What was once the pub’s beer garden has been built on (flats, natch), but the pub building has lain unused and unwanted ever since, despite Savill’s giving it a bit of a sales push last year.

Work started on the converting the ground floor premises into a coffee shop at the end of last month, and Sabores da Terra – “flavours of the earth” – opened for business this week.

Offering freshly baked produce every day, the new deli is open from 7am to 6pm Mondays to Saturdays, and 9am to 4pm on Sundays.
