Halt & Pull in Reigate and Banstead

I lived near here once, for twenty years. It was The Chequers. The site was five hundred years of history, as it was a coaching stop. There was a huge historic tree in the grounds destroyed about 20years ago, an acquaintance of mine did buy it and turn it into very lovely furniture. I digress. Firstly, we drove into the car park and saw a sign saying £4 an hour. I wasn't going to pay that AND patronise the restaurant, so we drove out and parked round the corner. It wasn't until we got inside that we saw a notice saying parking is free for patrons, but I wasn't going to risk it. Please, improve your car park signage! Once inside the staff attention was excellent. It's 20% off if you use their app to book, well worth it. The food was excellent for the industry sector we're in (pub grub) if I found any fault is that was too much. The tap water came with ice and lemon, tick. I find this all the time. Perhaps more eateries need to have small and large portion option, I hate to waste food. The whole place is a bit well, 'brown'. Having written about the hospitality industry for a living for a few years, I do notice things. A crushed coffee cup was being used to level out the pool table, and the clock battery needed replacing. And the whole place, with it's beams and William Morris wallpaper needs a bit of attention. Maybe fewer plastic plants, more real ones, and some white paint on the ceiling. As for that car park - the outside space is right on a polluted roundabout, an outside space at the back if they would take a bit of the car park to create one, would be much nicer.

Amazing Mother’s Day lunch, food and service was exceptional. Massive shout out to Terry, Bryce and George. Was even more special when Nick the chef came out to make sure we was happy. Cannot fault this place, friendly with an amazing atmosphere.

We always do a park and stay at the Cambridge hotel when flying from Gatwick Airport. We also always go for dinner at the Air Balloon shock horror it's closed. But by chance, we fell upon this place, the Halt & Pull lucky us yes a bit more pricey but fab food and lovely 😍 freindly service so happy days a great start to our hols x

Dropped in as our hotel not serving food Great selection of beers and very nice seating area Food was great bar staff excellent Darts on TV Couldn’t be happier 😄

Stopped in for a quick drink to break up the journey to friends for NYE dinner. I honestly thought we had taken a wrong turn and found ourselves in a crèche. There were dozens of small children being allowed to run around and scream to their hearts content. Never have I nailed a pint quicker. Awful experience.

Booked a table for end of Term celebrations for 12:45 only to turn up and find note on the door "shut till 15:30".No email or phone call to cancel reservation. Luckily rang The Farmhouse @ Langshott who were able to accommodate 7 people at very short notice. Food was amazing and staff extemely friendly. Avoid HALT and PULL at all costs go straight to Farmhouse . 5*

We were welcomed by very smiley and friendly waitress/bartender. The decor of the pub was very nice including some period features such as a fireplace. We sat down towards the back of the pub in a nice booth. The menu has a slight Indian influence but also includes classic British dishes. Food was very nice and our son loved it as well. Onto the odd part... When using baby changing facility it was necessary to go into the "hotel" area. After changing our son we were quickly told to leave and go back to the pub. This seemed quite odd considering pub and hotel shared the same building. After some investigation we found out that this hotel is under government control accommodating asylum seekers. Perhaps some information could have been provided when entering this area.

Casual night out when residing locally. Well presented new menu. Must try dishes. Pie was excellent pub grub and the Indian platter. Reasonable prices on drinks. Very hidden local gem which I would highly recommend

The food was reasonably priced and really tasty. Would happily return. The sizes of our meals were generous, and there was a sweet ambience

Dave was very good. Very friendly and very helpful. He had two others working the same shift who seemed to do as little as possible. Dave made it a good experience.

thaaank you every one at Halt & Pull & kitchen teams great day great staff & foods great desserts too all my family enjoyed Sunday Father's Day Special Lunch Treat 16th June! thank you for a lovely day much appreciated kudos every one! the Tarazis

Got a parking ticket very unhappy no signs Was so nice to sit outside with friends Then get a parking ticket in the post today Won’t be meeting my friends there again

A great place for drinks and I guess food too, but I was only here for the drinks with lots of friends. Staff are so nice and friendly and the service is spot-on. Awesome!

Worst pint ever you charge enough learn how to pour Guinness get some proper bar staff ! Who can clean the pipes ! Don’t just rely on the immigrants who keep your hotel open ! Disappointed

Great food at reasonable prices. The staff here are always first class. It’s a pleasure to visit the Halt & Pull. Will be returning (again).
