Home Cottage in Reigate and Banstead

My Dad and I visited, hoping for a nice roast dinner. Regrettably it was not even average at best. We did not complain as it was just about edible but the fact that it was delivered to us within 5 minutes of ordering was the first red flag. By no means do we expect a roast to be made to order, but what we got was disappointing. The majority of the food was just about warm. Any colder and we would have complained. The gravy was gloopy, the veg was quite slushy and the carrot and swede mash tasted like beer. The beef was poor quality and extremely fatty. The 2 potatoes we got each were bland and the 1 parsnip we got each was small, thin and burnt. In hindsight we should have complained, now that I’ve written this all out, but as we didnt I have to be fair in stating I did not give the establishment a chance to rectify it. We just wanted to eat and go, so we ate what we could and left. I’ve had great food at this place before so it’s was disappointing and will make me consider not returning

Lovely interior, such a shame that it is difficult to get parked. The food was mediocre and there wasn't a lot of choice for those if us who are gluten free

Lou was a fab host. She looked after us very well!

Best Pub in Redhill. The service I received was also outstanding. Imogen was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient, making my visit even more enjoyable. The pub itself has a lovely ambiance, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming experience. I will definitely be returning

Excellent service from Annie and Katarina!

Manon, our friendly server, was outstanding in her professionalism and friendly manner.

Great Mother’s Day lunch with the family. Including accessibility for a wheelchair. Service with Issie was great, couldn’t help us enough checking on allergies for us and assisting with additional needs for my sister in law when she required it. Would definitely recommend The Home cottage as a place to eat, thank you Issie for lovely service added to our experience.

Lovely lunch meeting up with friends. We each had a different main course and we all really enjoyed our choices. Good atmosphere and good service!

Always love it here, everything is always great

Great food and service from lovely franky Quick to come to the table 5 stars

Amazing roast and great service

Delicious. Sunday meal the best in the region. See you soon

All round great place. Service from Julia was fantastic and professional. Would recommend this and definitely will return.

Fantastic sharing roast for 3-4 people. Wonderful service from Franky.

Very nice tasting, a bit slow on food. Julia and Violet very helpful and polite. Great service from them.

A great Sunday lunch. Lovely pub with delicious roasts and good service from Julia.

Great pub for lunch. Tasty food, friendly staff and good beer options.

We visited Home Cottage in Redhill over the weekend for a family meal, and overall, it was a lovely experience with just a couple of bumps along the way. The food was spot-on. Every dish was cooked perfectly and true to its English roots. It’s clear they take pride in traditional pub fare, and it really delivered. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and very family-oriented, which made it an easy and relaxed visit with kids in tow. One thing that did catch us off guard was not being allowed to sit in the restaurant area. That left us with a bit of a sour first impression. Thankfully, the rest of the staff helped turn it around. Another waitress was incredibly attentive, clearly noticed we had young children, and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Despite the mixed experience with service, the great food and welcoming vibe made it a positive visit overall - and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Stunning food, stylish and comfortable pub/restaurant with lovely staff

My family and I went for a birthday meal and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food and the drinks were of the highest quality and I would definitely recommend to others who are looking for a good gastro pub just outside London. Just be aware that you there is no onsite parking. Thankfully there is parking right in front of the pub in the form of train station parking. Convenient if a bit dear.

Home cottage is great for a drink in the beer garden and has great sides. But the Sunday roast is pretty bland.

Had a lovely meal with my family. Service was very efficient especially from our waitress Violet. Thanks Home Cottage I will definitely be back!

Julia looked after us today. Wonderful service, lovely food and a small issue was swiftly resolved. Will most definitely be back!! Oh, and yorkshire puddings the size of your head!!

Great day of rugby, beer & food

The best pub in Redhill! Simple really!

We had pre booked a table of 10 which was all ready for us on arrival. Order process was easy (though not easy to find any menus and none were offered) and staff very friendly. Food (roast) was very good, though puddings could have been better and more variety on the menu. It was very disappointing to see that the children's sticky toffee pudding was the same size as the adults and cost at least £2 less. Loved the games and colouring table, great for keeping everyone entertained whilst we waited for food to arrive.

Nice pub, as a local it can be hit and miss. Roast is good, desserts not so much. Service is so so in the restaurant. 3-4 staff standing round next to the kitchen with no leadership. Meaning you have to ask for water, drinks before ordering your food, ask for the card reader after you get your bill etc just not much initiative.

Absolutely AMAZING food ! There was 12 of us . All the food was cooked lovely , tasted amazing ! No complaints at all ! Lovely staff , great atmosphere . Considering the rugby was on and the pub was rammed ! We were well looked after well and thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my dads 60th

Nice place with pretty good food and drink. Pleasant environment and good service. Not great parking around though.

Food as always excellent but the atmosphere was spoilt somewhat by a very noisy party on the next table. Good to see the pub so popular.

We were seated by a very polite member of the waiting staff, who took our order for bread with oil and vinegar, 2 haddock and chips. As this was our second visit, we were expecting an excellent meal (as we had previously had). From our seat, my wife had a clear view of the service hatch from the kitchen. She saw the chef, first spill some fries over the work surface and picked them up with his hands. This would not be so bad if he didn't have his hands in his beard every few seconds. Next up was my bread and balsamic, which he dipped his finger in the dipping bowl, and licked it, then picked up the bread and cut it and placed it on plate. At this I went and spoke to the waiting staff explained and said we would not be staying. She apologised and said she would let the manager know. Waiting staff 10/10, food prep staff, dangerous!

brilliant service from both Poppy and Karina - the food was delicious and the drinks were lovely xx always such a great dining experience:)

An excellent meal, beautifully cooked. Slight niggle, I do think for £10 the cheese plate could have a selection of cheese rather than just mild cheddar. Karina, our server, was charming, cheerful and allowed us to relax for our Valentine’s meal.

Lovely pub, staff was a bit busy so we had to wait longer than average to get drinks, food etc but food was great and they allow gods which is a plus

Favourite pub. Hands down. Best place to watch the rugby outside of Twickenham x

My visit to home cottage was amazing. After a long train journey it was nice to come in and get seated straight away with my family. Imogen was very tentative and accomodating to the fact that i had a dairy allergy. The food and drink came really quickly and it was throughly enjoyable! It was also good to know that the six nations was available to watch as well as knowing that there was an area of the restaurant if you didn't want to watch it. Would highly recommend!

Lovely pub! Great bangers and mash!

Lovely! Best service! Thank you

Lou was lovely, the food was great and generous portions. Thanks, we'll be back!

We have lunch here with friends a couple of times a year as it’s a halfway meeting point. Never disappoints. Food and service always very good. It was quiet in the restaurant (midweek lunchtime), hence the atmosphere score, but that didn’t bother us at all. Just a shame it is an hour’s drive away.

Had Sunday lunch, beef was a bit chewie everything else was great

Great food, great Service, great pub!

Our server was lou very kind and friendly person who made our night by checking up on us and if everything was going great with our food and drinks

Booked for 3 birthdays across members if my family. This was a 630 Sunday evening booking. Most of the meal options were missing. Leaving what was already a very limited menu almost entirely optionless. Very disappointing experience.

A great option for a family meal

Wonderful evening at the Home cottage wine tasting event. Our host Poppy was fantastic and the food was delicious. Can’t wait for the next one!

The Home Cottage regularly host wine tastings, complete with lovely small plates, all guided by the wonderful Poppy! Not only is the food 10/10, but Poppy’s knowledge of the wine is superb. Such an engaging evening, excellent value for money - could not recommend more!

Great food, staff friendly and efficient. Really enjoyed our lunch at Home Cottage!

Great place to either have a drink, quick snack or 3 course meal. Lovely place to eat & drink in a traditional atmosphere. Visited late Saturday afternoon and despite very busy and a private party being organised, the service was brilliant. Greeted and shown to our table by our server Karina. Choice of ordering at bar or in app. Ordered on app after being given recommendations from Karina. Considering how busy they were food was served very quickly and with a friendly smile. Thanks to James as well for the delicious mocktail!

I had diarrhoea yesterday evening following the meal and this morning. My Dad had an upset stomach (he left most of his meal). We both had the sea bream (the last 2 pieces). When I went to the kitchen to ask to heat up my Mum's broccoli, the cook was checking his phone. My Mum thought her steak was tough and her broccoli was cold.

Lovely birthday meal with friends. Sea Bream and panacotta were especially delicious.

Just had a great meal with a fantastic set menu! Service was great - thanks Imogen

They do a lot right in this pub. Tip-top beer, a roaring fire and great service from Amy for whom nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks. We'll be back.

All around incredible restaurant - our server Lou was attentive and friendly, really great vibes and immaculate food!

Excellent service and outstanding food!

Delicious food and lovely service.

My family & I booked The Home Cottage for my late husband's funeral reception. The staff handled the booking, the assigned area for us, plus the food and drinks to perfection. They were simply marvellous. The food was good. Their fried chips grabed my guests attention much so that we asked for seconds. They obliged. The room was warm and well ventilated. Their facilities were clean and easy to access and use. My sincere thanks to The Home Cottage for making my guests and family feel welcome on such a sad occasion.

food was brilliant, and service from franky was amazing

a lovely decorated pub with a great atmosphere for drinks - restaurant area for food and service is quite poor, waited 40 mins for our order to be taken, had to go and ask the server to take our order in the end. food quality was also not great for the price you are paying. would recommend for drinks only though!

I only marked the atmosphere down as we were the only ones there for most of the meal but don’t let that stop you from going, it was a lovely meal and great service.

Had a lovely meal on New Years Eve and Lou was very attentive and friendly

Spent NYE in the pub. Lou was very accommodating and friendly. Had a great night.

The Christmas Burger is different level!!!!

I like the food and the ambience

had a great time at the home cottage today, we were served by karina. she was lovely and welcoming and made sure we had everything we asked for, would definitely return!

super lovely service, Franky always had a smile on her face and was so friendly, I had a really nice time with her as my server. Food was delicious, my steak was cooked really well and i had a great starter.

Came for a nice meal with my pregnant partner after we had just moved round the corner upon arrival we waited 15 minutes to be served a drink we ordered food the beef rump came way undercooked burnt on the out side and raw as could be in the middle witch meant it couldn’t be eaten by a pregnant woman I had the ribs witch came as a half rack of ribs with no chips and three onion rings so after spending £50 on food and drinks we was both still hungry I’d highly advise not to eat at this establishment

Very good fish and chips. Lovely batter. Pudding was a lovely crumble but could have done with more custard.

Retirement party for one of our colleagues fantastic service and venue. Highly recommend!

We booked home cottage for our office Christmas lunch and it was fantastic. The food was great, the staff are lovely and super helpful. We sat 25 and parties of a comparable size get their own room in the pub which was amazing. Additionally, on the morning off I wanted to last minute implement a seating plan so I called the staff and not only were they lovely but they got everything printed and set up on time with essentially no notice. Would highly recommend for Christmas parties and is all round a good pub!

We had our Christmas Lunch at Home Cottage yesterday, what amazing services from Poppy, Imogen and Julia xx

Lou has been amazing tonight, as always! She looks after us so well and is never too busy to say hello! Brilliant service, with a smile. We’ll be back soon!

Really amazing evening at Home Cottage, Barney was a fantastic server and was super helpful and friendly! He accommodated all of our needs and served us with a smile, would definitely come back again soon. Thank you Barney :)

We had a great time at Home Cottage last night. We came fairly late in the evening and stayed right until closing. Despite how late we stayed, Barney and Imogen were always gracious, accommodating and helpful. Service was quick and they were constantly friendly. Will definitely be coming back in the future

Thank you Lou, you were lovely to us! Thank you

My friends and me enjoyed a fantastic catch up at this wonderful pub with fantastic service, really homely feel! Thank you to Conran for providing a welcoming and genuine experience.

Unfortunately the Christmas dinner was a disappointment for my friends who had the turkey. Starters were great and my fish course again good but the turkey main brussels were raw the potatoes tasted reheated turkey tasted like it was prepacked and dry the treacle tart was not good. The crumble and brownie was tasty.

4 of us visited tonight we.had booked for the Christmas menu,the starters were delicious however the main was absolutely disappointing the turkey was grey and tasted reheated and stale the roast potatoes were rubbery and also reheated the Brussels were raw we couldn't even cut them the whole thing was very underwhelming three plates went back with plenty of food left...we had hoped the dessert would be better but were then served what was meant to be treacle tart that was cold the treacle was solid and and tasted nothing like treacle tart...one of us also had the chocolate brownie that had been over heated and had gone hard like a biscuit...we all left feeling deflated.

Lovely food at a really great price and the service from Louise was fantastic!

Lovely time having food and drinks with friends. Lou and Imogen were superb, very much the ideal hostesses.

Lovely pub, good service and delicious food.

Great food and service, food took a little longer than expected but didn’t disappoint one bit. Staff were very friendly and helpful, would definitely visit again.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Jess our server was friendly and efficient.

Came in for a date with my girlfriend. Service was amazing from both of the lovely blonde ladies. Second drinks asked, food was checked backed and all courses on time. Food standards were great, had the Bavette Steak and Haddock which were cooked to perfection. A huge thank you to Bruno and Gabor for the magic in the kitchen. Will be coming back very soon.

Love the atmosphere but was disappointed with the food. The bread of the sandwich was stale and the red onion pickle was to over powering. When our plates were collected we told the staff and was told something could have been done if we had said something earlier. Usually when I eat out a staff member always checks in during the meal to see if the meal is ok. Was a bit disappointed.

I reviewed this place some years ago, giving it four out of five stars, citing the steak as the only let-down. However, after visiting it for the first time in about 2 years this weekend, and having one of the best steaks I've ever had, I have to re-visit this review and give it a perfect 5. Service was also brilliant, despite being quite busy (didn't get the servers name, but she was good banter).

Lovely Sunday lunch. our server was violet who was very friendly thanks :))

Lovely atmosphere from the place and the staff, Lou looked after us and checked in as we ate! Food was tasty, well priced and quick to arrive at the table. Definitely will be returning

Calm and chilled atmosphere. Staff were friendly. Popped in on Sunday for a quick drink

Not my doest time there and it was always great this time, we held a little dinner after civil marriage ceremony at home cottage. Superb service fantastic food, lovely atmosphere, accommodating staff and soooo friendly and helpful. Would recommend every single time

Very nice place.clean very welcomed. Food excellent. People very nice and professional

Nice food , and very well served by Julia!

The place was excellent, the food was absolutely amazing, the service was very kind and thoughtfull and we didnt even wait a lot for the food although we ordered a massive amount of food fpr our whole family.

Lovely bar/restaurant style layout. Great service, friendly staff and a wide choice of food options. Wine options 10/10 !!

We enjoyed Home Cottage very much. The staff were attentive, without it being over done. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was very busy. Possibly a little understaffed. The menu choices were creative and food was presented well and served all together. Would definitely recommend and revisit next time we're near Redhill. All in all, well done.

Absolutely fantastic location for a family dinner. Lou was outstanding - she calmly navigated the diverse requests from our family group of 20 making sure everyone enjoyed their evening and never had an empty glass. Food was fab - great example of good british pub food. Highly recommend it.

Management are wonderful and staff are so welcoming and attentive! My family felt very welcomed!

Had a great meal with the family. Food was delicious. Staff very attentive. Third visit this month, always made to feel welcome. Thanks team

This is the second time we’ve been but the first time we’ve eaten there. We came back for dinner as we loved the atmosphere the first time went went for just drinks. We were not disappointed the food was brilliant and the staff were lovely and very professional. We would absolutely go back again for dinner and drinks

Sunday the 20th of October. I spent £270 on food and drinks for my family , we add a lovely time with the family and kids. I then came back with only my wife and kids we ordered drinks and sat down waiting for the menu. The manager name is poppy came over and asked us to leave !!! I was in horror and shock !! I ask what did we do and poppy said I don’t have to give you a reason!!! I said we spent a lot of money last week !! Poppy refuse to give me a valid reason and to me this could only come down to racism. I am embarrassed and disappointed. We left with no choice. I was hurt to be honest.
