Market Stores in Reigate and Banstead

Called in mid afternoon for lunch. Arrived about 2:45pm and told the kitchens were due to close at 3pm so we had a quick browse of the menu and ordered quickly. Drinks were OK. Simple order of fish and chips, cheeseburger and fried buttermilk chicken burger. When the food arrived it was very disappointing. The chicken burger was an overcooked and shrivelled piece of chicken breast that didn't even half fill the bun and was sent back and as the kitchen had shut we were refunded the cost. The fish and chips was OK but the peas were like bullets and melded together. The cheeseburger was edible but very basic and not worth the £16 price. As soon as we finished the two edible meals we left and went elsewhere. Would I go here again? If I just wanted a drink possibly. If I wanted food - no, very disappointing. Front of house staff were pleasant enough but all three meals seemed like they were quickly churned out by a chef who just wanted to finish and get out with no attention to quality

We came for the Quiz Night, which was great, but the cost of food demonstrated no value. We will eat before we come next time which is a shame.

Good for a beer. Food was deep fried and very poor, with gastropub prices. Portions were small. Please grill it, not deep fry it.

Went to watch the rugby London pride over £5 Ordered som fries again over £5 and a very small portion staff didn’t care and wouldn’t recommend

indoor & outside seating.. Ideal for the town center on a warm evening. lots of space inside and food is ok / functional . toilets can be a bit grim. I go there regularly and keep coming back

Dropped in after an event, Sunday as everywhere kitchens were closed. Ordered buttemilk chicken burger and chips. It wasn't great and don't feel well. The food was presented well and on time, staff well nice but the buttemilk chicken was just overcooked batter and the chips we well cooked, nothing wrong but they just tasted like onion. Seems to maybe they reheated the chicken and what chicken there was had dired out and chip oil is old and needs changing.

Absolutely brilliant place for a party. We took over the top floor of the pub .. which had its own bar. Hired a DJ and had one heck of a party! The Market staff put on a buffet for us. The Market team were great .. so accommodating and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Ordered Fish and chips came out with plastic piece and only quickly refund but not even offered a another one with apologies.

Boyfriend’s pint was flat. £10 for the worst Pornstar martini i have ever half drunk. food looked expensive. toilets were mostly out of order. bartenders looked a bit clueless and there didnt seem to be a senior staff member on shift (as an ex-barmaid, i don’t think thats very safe nor professional) can’t say i recommend sadly!!

Doesn't seem to have served food for months, for some reason. I wonder will they manage it for Christmas - for our office do?

Dirty tables and smells from the toilets permeating the whole building. Not a wonder that it was virtually empty. Bird poo cover d the garden tables and generally unkept and unloved. Needs management attention and could be very nice.

We stopped here en route to an event in Reigate and were hoping for some lunch. However, we were told there was no kitchen open. I'm not sure if this is a regular thing as, having checked their website, they have a menu but have 'Closed' on their kitchen opening times. The pub itself was lovely and welcoming. Price was fairly typical (I think I paid around £4 - £5 for vodka and mixer). I particularly liked its hidden outdoor space - the rooftop beer garden. The only problem is that it takes a lot of stairs to access it. You'll need to go up a winding stair case inside the pub and then go up an additional set of (quite steep) steps outside, so it's definitely not a good choice if you have mobility issues! Overall, I thought this was a well-decorated, friendly pub. But if you are planning on eating, I would just make sure you contact the pub first as it was unclear to us why the kitchen was closed.

Really nice to see how empty it is in the market now. Unpopular amidst the other pubs in reigate makes it a pleasant experience. Although the drinks are on the unnecessarily expensive side (it’s Reigate so expected), had a lovely gin with friends. Really quiet evening as the pub isn’t very lively. Good now that it is over 21, but would not recommend for a night out, or a weekend trip. Perfect for a meet up for teaching staff, or office shindig. Avoid the food however, my friends son would work underage cooking chicken, so perhaps dodgy. Staff not too nice. Bearded man incredibly dismissive, and always looking to kick people out it appears, appearing aggressive at times. Glad it has really quietened down, not many people going anymore which is great. Intimate and cosy. Recommended for the middle aged in reigate! 😎

Outstanding staff- Vaz treated me like a Queen ❤ Hospitality to me, same as reception work is NOT a job you should ever do unless you -Love ppl -genuinely love chatting to customers -have natural empathy & interest in ppl. Since it's such a bugbear to me as an HSP that I regularly encounter ppl in these jobs who very clearly don't fulfil the above bare minimum, i wanted to tk the time to praise Vaz & the staff at this charming Reigate local pub. I am 37 weeks preggerz, we popped in for a few drinks to kill time before our train. Vaz was so caring & chatty & made me feel as if I was the Duchess of Cornwall! A very clear genuine love of people & enjoyment in seeing their needs met & made as comfty as possible. I wish all pubs & reception managers would understand that this is the level of Hospitality & TYPE of personality required to mk a 3 or 4 star pub or dinner experience into a 5 star one.... We will be back sometime with baby Willow! ❤

We needed somewhere for a nice family lunch was looking forward to some pub food we ordered chicken burgers which were inedible. It was supposed to be a buttermilk burger the crispy coating was wet and wiped straight off the chicken was a grayish colour and tasted as though it had been cooked on defrost in the microwave. Due to being pregnant was not risking eating this meat and was very disappointed by the money we had wasted eating here. Nice pub for a drink, however would avoid the food.

I have visited the Market Stores before, usually sitting in the roof top garden terrace area which is a hidden gen in Reigate. Thankfully I'd booked a table inside as last night's horrendous weather would have scuppered a really lovely evening. My friend hadn't visited before, and we were both impressed with how the staff looked after their customers taking into consideration all of the necessary Covid-19 measures (i.e. face masks, booking in advance, table service only etc). Please restock the rosė Cava as it was delicious and sadly we drank the last bottle! Thank you to Vas and his colleagues, I'm sure we will pay a return visit in the future. Book in advance to avoid disappointment! Highly recommended.

Visited for the first time Saturday with a small group of friends, despite being busy the service was great. Unfortunately we didn’t get his name but the gentleman serving drinks was so friendly, learning our names and even gave me a discount when my drink took a little while. We all really enjoyed our time there and would definitely return.

Went for lunch yesterday, about 13:00, was quite busy inside but the staff found a table for us. Very good service, prompt and polite. Cider was very good and the mulled wine in a mug was a very nice touch. Would recommend the burger, good size for a lunch and very tasty, the vegetarian ragu looked really great as well. If I heard correctly we were served by leonie and vas, very enjoyable lunch, would highly recommend.

Lovely central pub! Just popped in for a lunch , Very good traditional food menu, reasonably price, very impressive range of vegan options! Welcomed by the lovely Leonie, very accommodating and warm service maintained throughout. Highly recommend.

1 word. Dreadful!!!!!! My pint (flat) was not overly impressive. I am most apauled by the Manor of ur staff. Wont be coming back. Sining off Fionn mcnevin

Felt Covid safe, very friendly bar staff, and a lovely roast beef lunch with excellent roasts Yorkshire and a great choice of veg.See photo says it all really. !

Just visited this place, we met Vas at the door who informed us they were fully booked but then went out of his way to get us a table within 15 mins. Lovely smiley guy who seemed to love speaking with customers, couldn't do enough for us! The menu online is perfect for those who need specific dietary requirements, you can select what items you are trying to avoid i.e dairy, gluten, meat etc. Would definitely go back! Thank you Vas, you're an asset to that place :-)

This was our first trip to the pub in many months and we couldn't have picked a better place. Leoni, in particular, really guided us through our post-COVID reality and was so lovely. It was a great taste of normality!

Scary new paint job. Who decided that bright green gloss was great for a bar? The rest of the place is nicer. All in its still a nice pub.

Had a late lunch here, shared vegan tacos, nachos, and burger.3 drinks, no alcohol, approx £30.So glad we are here. Food was absolutely delicious, bit of a wait but pretty sure the chilli guacamole was freshly made, so tasty. Staff were attentive enough, it means so much to be told 'if there are any problems, please let me know' and 'how can i help you'. Sounds basic but this is missing from many establishments.Would recommend and visit again 100%

This is a really nice, large pub. The decor is really nice inside & they have a variety of different types of chairs & tables to sit at. There is outside seating on the high street so you can people watch. Upstairs is another bar where they typically seat large groups of people. They also have a roof terrace up there. It's a lovely little haven, a right sun trap, with plenty of shade from the beautiful foliage growing all around. They have an extensive bar selection & the food is actually quite good. The food service can be a bit slow though & occasionally you'll experience a wait at the bar. They put on a decent Christmas. Santa hat & charity Christmas crackers with environmentally friendly prizes included with your booking. They open the upstairs bar too. The food is OK for pub grub en masse. Certainly better than some of Reigate's more expensive establishments! Friendly bar staff too.

We had a group of 8 on a Saturday night and every one who went up to the bar had to wait ages and the staff didn’t seem to care. I asked for some water and the bar back simply said, “no” and continued his duties. Our bench was wobbly to say the least and the other chair scraped on the floor so badly it made us cringe. The toilets we disgusting. We spent a lot of money in there and I won’t be meeting friends there again. I will be happy to take my money somewhere else.

I would highly recommend this pub. The staff are lovely and the food is good. The only slight downside is it is SO HOT in here but the friendly staff make up for it. I came for a small bite and a drink by my self and they insured to check up on me and make sure everything was okay. I cannot express how kind the staff are I have never gone somewhere with such lovely people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had good food - triple cooked chips were a highlight and the bar staff were genuinely lovely and helpful. Will definitely return.

I had to wave my arms to draw attention from the young barmaid that someone actually wanted to part with money and buy something - she was too busy talking to the equally young barman. Of course I've nothing against young people as I was a barman in my late teens/early twenties and I have a 17 year-old daughter. What got me was her aggressive disposition at having to be summoned and she made me realise what a teenage girl goes through when being bullied (barmaid whispering to her colleague whilst glancing in our direction etc after making the huge effort to serve us). What a disgrace! Who was managing this place - or were they the managers? I've been here many times over the past 25 years, and I won't rush back. I'm also a great fan of Fullers.I dod note that the bar was pretty empty for this time of year, so this seemed to make sense.

I would just like to express my gratitude for the Christmas Meal on Friday 13th Dec. The whole team were amazing from start to finish, the food was incredible and everyone had such a great night. I’d like to specifically thank Jess personally as I couldn’t have arranged this for 25 people without her! From menu changes to people dropping out she took it all in her stride and was so helpful and accommodating. I wasn’t expecting the name places with menu choices on and that was an absolute godsend – especially because I’d lost my menu print out!! With the crackers and the hats as well it really made the night special and Christmassy. So thank you all so very much for a wonderful Christmas evening and we hope to see you next year!! I hope you all had the day off on the Saturday as you definitely deserved it! Merry Christmas to you all

We (Quantick Daley Solicitors) had our work xmas lunch there yesterday and it was really excellent. Roast potatoes to die for (say no more)! Great service, great food. Can't fault it. Thanks for a great lunch!!

I had never been to this pub before. We had our department doo on Thursday the 12th upstairs. We pre ordered the food and to be true I was not expecting to much, most of these Xmas menus are inedible and cold, this was not what we encountered. I started with Pate which was good but pate is difficult to mess up. The highlight was the second course which I had picked the beef. This was one of the BEST beef dishes I have ever had, it was tender and cooked to perfection. I thought it was just me but everybody who had the beef raved about it. Finished off with the brownie which was again excellent. Only thing that could be improved was a lack of roast potatoes, just needed more but the ones we did have where very good. The room can be a bit noisy but that's Xmas parties for you

Decided to pop in after work one day whilst waiting for someone. I was offered a drink almost instantly and there was quite the selection to choose from. Opted for one of the many ales on offer and was not disappointed, impressive knowledge from the staff and first class service which is what you would come to expect from a Fullers pub. Did not have to the time to check out the food but from what I could see on other customers tables, it looked good and smelled banging! Will be back to try one of the burgers for sure. Ended up staying for more than one and tried many of the other drinks, great pub, great staff. Worth the trip

Not really impressed called in to accept the 174 offer ...NO ales on offer at 1800hrs then Boardwalk offered at 1830hrs

Met friends for evening drinks - impossible to hold any meaningful conversation due to the excessively loud background music. Beer was good but that was the only positive

I visited The Market last Sunday and had a lovely roast beef lunch. Everything on the plate was very palatable especially the excellent roast potatoes and gravy. Good array of veg also. Bar staff friendly, would definitely recommend. Thank you and see you again soon.

I booked the back bar area upstairs for my partners 30th birthday as a supprise.

I popped in here for lunch. The last time I was in here was about 12 years ago.

We came in for lunch on a sunny afternoon- we were early so one of the first customers in, but ended up having to wait over an hour after ordering for our meals to arrive. The food was average - I had the burger which was fine but the chips were basically burnt and my husband had gnocchi which was ok but quite a small portion for the price. Wouldn't bother returning again.

Staff seen very keen to chat, to each other,

We popped in today for a Sunday roast and we were not disappointed. My husband is an ale fan and the chap that served us certainly new his stuff and recommended the best ale that he would enjoy.

I was in here on Easter Sunday with the missus for Sunday lunch. When we came in a band was setting up downstairs and was told by the bar staff that there was music on all day. We went up their "Secret Garden" which is a get little sun trap for lunch and a drink before the music. i got the roast pork and a Neckoil and the missus got the veg roast and a Pimms. The food was lovely and you can't go wrong with a Neckoil and a Pimms on a sunny day like that. when we went downstairs for the music, the band were chill out session perfect for a Sunday after noon.

Attended the pub on the recommendation of family that visit regularly. We decided we would have a lovely traditional Sunday pub lunch and we were not disappointed! The portion sizes were wonderfully generous and the sides were more like mains! The food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Hats off to the chef! The staff were sweet and cheerful, Tony in particular was a delight. Thanks again for a lovely meal, we look forward to our next visit!

we walked in,and there was a good buzz about the place,went upstairs spoke to the barmaid,jo jo....who was very helpfull,sorted a table out,and served us,some nice starter,tapas style,food...only negative..upstairs ..stairs to the toilet carpet worn and tatty..and a smell of cooking oil, needs air vent in stairwell....

After a Sunday morning walk we came across the Market Store when the pizza joint nearby was full. 7 of us, all had different meals and they were all excellent. Puddings were good too.

This is one of those pubs we always make a beeline for, particularly in summer because the garden is so lovely, secluded at the back with several levels, always plenty of space and a real sun trap.

Went to have a belated Christmas meet up with family for lunch. Staff were incredibly friendly; Jojo is an excellent server, meal came quickly and well presented. The food was absolutely fantastic! The Sunday Roast is the best around! All three of us left waddling and a dress size bigger we were so full. Totally superb time, very highly recommended. LOVE THIS PUB!

I booked the Market for 43 people ( my staff! ) for our works Christmas party. Matthew & Jessie could not have been more helpful, they worked so hard to make the party a success for us. The food was a very good standard, piping hot and just right for the occasion. The venue (we were on the upper floor restaurant) was all dressed out for Christmas, very festive,and had a lovely friendly atmosphere. The service, food, bar staff, and venue were all perfect for the occasion. Without exception all my staff have commented that this was the best party for years, so well done and thanks to the team at the Market, you were all outstanding at what you do and we'll most likely be back next year. Thank you all for all your hard work.

I'm a frequent visitor. Has a good feel, very convenient for central Reigate. Great place to meet friends.

Came in here for a drink late afternoon when it was pretty quiet. Big bare interior and a beer garden at the back. Not a lot of inside seating for such a big pub. The walls are stripped wood with all sorts of mottos and themes. The beer and lager selection is extensive and up to date with the current craft beer craze. We didn’t eat, but the menu is classic modern pub grub, with quite high prices, though this is the centre of highly affluent Reigate so maybe that’s not very surprising. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. Our gin and tonics came with added juniper berries, which says a lot about how hipster this place is trying to be. Probably a lot more impressive when it’s busier.

After a hard day at work with colleagues we decided We needed good pub food and a pint. We decided to choose 3 starters for £16 but 2 out of our selection was unavailable.

When the market stores first opened it was a really good place to pop in for a couple of drinks. But slowly it's really gone downhill. We were looking forward to going to the ale festival there but it was so disappointing and not worth the effect at all! The live music you could even hear properly, saw a bouncer making a very dodgy deal with a customer and the ale we try was awful. This place needs to be managed better as it is being to look very scruffy in places.

Lager plus chicken and chips should be pretty straightforward for this place. Today was a bit of a let down. Chicken burger and skinny fries I think had been under the hot plate for a week, waiting for me to order. Naturally I’m too hungry / polite to say anything so I cover it in mayo and dig in. There was no immediate after delivery checkup on how the food was so I stopped just short of finishing the burger to keep a little evidence for the how was your meal checkup later on. That did happen, I replied ‘not great I’m afraid’, which was as blunt as I could manage. It was ignored and the chap carried on collecting plates. I tried again with a ‘4/10 if I’m honest’ which was also duly ignored. My colleague two places down heard both my responses and the guy asking was immediately next to me. Pub was very quiet and upstairs was closed so I think we caught the chef on his break and the staff member on a bad day. Sorry Fuller’s, this time I’m afraid my experience fell well short of mine and your expectations.

Huge fan of Fullers Ale so was excited to find a 'Fullers' pub in Reigate. On looking around the bar only noticed London Pride. The girl behind the bar said they don't keep Fullers Ale! The London Pride was lifeless and very warm.Badly kept.

Relaxed atmosphere, rather run down decor, seating outside, in the pub and upstairs. Parking in the roads nearby, if you're lucky. Car parks not far away.

Just turned up for a sunday lunch. The food was OK but nothing special. I guess not surprising as the upstairs restaurant was almost empty. Service was friendly and efficient. Good range of beers. This is more a drinking pub/social pub than an eating one. They have special events, such as comedy nights, which we shall try.

A very relaxed Saturday lunch. Great burger and excellent Cesar salad. Good quality food presented well along with a good selection of beers and gins...

Attended their comedy night on Wednesday. Poorly managed. Lots of non-ticket holders making their way upstairs and stealing seats that we had paid for (£11 each!). Comedians great, but we could have attended the event for free and would not repeat buy.

Atmosphère très chaleureuse un vendredi soir.

Not sure why this place feels like it can be more expensive than the other pubs on Main Street. Doesn’t have any usp that makes it feasible and in fact if anything is one of my less favourite places to go on a busy night. The lack of material (especially in Back towards toilets) means incredibly noisey as nothing absorbs the sound and also seems to attract a very male audience.

I have been to the market stores many times, generally the bar area for nights out, and never had any reason to complain. Tried the restaurant last night and left with overall feeling we were an inconvenience and entire meal had been rushed so they could close kitchen down. Several items were not available from the menu and we were told very quickly that kitchen was closing in 30 mins so could we make our choices and decide on dessert now. Allowed to eat and food by all accounts was ok. Finished our main course and relatively soon after presented with our bill. No coffees etc, just out please. I like to ambience and atmosphere in the market and will be going back, but never again for food.

Very friendly staff and good food and drink! Can be busy at times but worth the wait! Good place to come for a few beers with friends or for a spot of dinner on a week night probably be a little busy on the weekends

Very nice interior and selection of beers, the service was quick and friendly but there was nothing to eat if you are allergic to wheat (gluten) (in brackets because people do not seem to realize that gluten is a component of wheat) it always amazes me that people that work in the food industry don't know that or sometimes dont even know what wheat is either. They are terrified of the situation and as with the Market Stores hand you a printed sheet of paper with ticks along the recipes and then don't know if the ticks mean that there is the allergen in the food or not. This chart seemed to indicate that the chips may have been ok but they were so terrified that they would not serve them to me and I ended up with a few leaves and some off mozzarella for my lunch. I had to whip quickly up to the canteen when I got back to the office to get something to eat as I was starving.

Having visited this establishment on several occasions ( i work nearby) I would suggest that you avoid it and go elsewhere. the pub is on 3 levels, ground floor is a pub but so badly laid out they have very few seats, the first floor is a restaurant which never seems to open at lunch time, the 3rd and final level is the garden which is not very convenient and can be reach from the bar by climbing 2 flights of stairs , the second set is quite steep, they are often reluctant to provide food in the garden. Service is indifferent. food quality has been variable from bad to worse. A fullers Pub with Guest beers. The Garden seems to have been closed most of this week (afraid of the clients catching the sun?) I received an invite on my phone today 16/6/2017 for National Beer day 15/6/2017 sums up the poor service. This was for a free pint! I cannot be bothered to try and get it because the place is poorly managed. go elsewhere.

Fui allí para un almuerzo rápido el miércoles como las cafeterías locales parecían un poco lúgubre y contentos que yo. Había una gran selección de cervezas y ale, lástima que era la hora del almuerzo, así que sólo tenía una pinta.

Sorprendentemente, el jardín está arriba, en la zona de azotea y permite el pub como es un desorden desaliñada, y mucho más podría ser hecho de ella. Habiendo dicho eso, el personal era amable y no agresivo con las esperaba dejar ya que había niños con nosotros. Las cervezas están bien cuidados y es un cómodo pub central justo en la high Street.

Me decepcionó un poco para ver un menú muy limitado después de buscar en línea para obtener una idea de lo que me gustaría elegir, cuando reunidos con amigos hoy aquí. Nos dijeron que era porque estaban en preparación para las cenas de asado el...

Este es mi local y creo que es un pub excelente, con un montón de opciones y un ambiente muy bueno en los fines de semana. Es una lástima que no sea así. tranquila durante la semana

Estuvimos allí un 50 cumpleaños. y la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes.

Domingo almuerzo en el mercado de la tienda! En Reigate.

Love this pub - beautiful decor inside and outside. The food is tasty. Get there early if you want a roast on a Sunday. It has a lovely garden terrace in the summer!

We booked here for a work event and the food was great. The chicken wings are large and everything is flavoured well. Downstairs looks like a local pub but upstairs has a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. Last time we booked it was summer and we had a BBQ in the garden. Its very pretty outside but this is not a place to go for wheelchair users. Lots of steps and even the toilets you have to go up more steps to. At the moment there's scaffolding on the outside so I think I'll be returning again in the summer months.

We have stopped here a couple of times and been pleasantly surprised. Good pub food, seemingly "proper" ie not out of a bag vegetables, and decent-sized portions. We will return as we know we can get a table (we stopped both times for a Sunday lunch) and that we won't have to wait ages for our food to arrive.

So much for spontaneity in Reigate. I made a last-minute decision to go out for dinner with the young adults, as I was wanting a steak for dinner ahead of the Brighton Half marathon I was running the next day.After ringing eight restaurants and pubs (yes eight), including six on the Reigate High street at 5pm, only the Market Stores could accommodate a 7pm booking for three. The rest were all booked out until after 9.30pm.We had first tried the Market Stores when it was renovated a few years and recall it being an unpleasant meal. But beggars can't be choosers, so it was off to give the upstairs part of this lively pub a second chance.Disaster soon struck. Even though we were the first customers in the largely deserted restaurant that evening the server informed me that they were already out of rib-eye steak. "Oh no!" I exclaimed "That exactly what I've come to eat!!". She gestured towards a table set up for a party of 12 and said that they had pre-ordered, and that as a result of the number of orders for rib-eye steak, the chef no longer had any spare. Even playing the half-marathon card didn't work, the chef couldn't be persuaded to part with a rib-eye steak for me.Then fussy vegetarian daughter weighed in, with her normal questioning of the menu and requests to know what was contained in the two vegetarian options (a spinach and falafel burger and a vegetable terinne that had vegetables including sultanas and was thus deemed unsuitable). She settled for the first choice, but without the yogurt dressing, rendering her dish plain and rather tasteless, and an order for a second helping of fries.All this to-ing and fro-ing brought the manager to our table (we were the only diners there at this point) presumably after the server had alerted to him to problem customers. He explained they'd had a busy lunch and combined with the pre-orders, rib-eye steaks were off the menu. He offered to pay for our drinks (my red wine and my son's orange juice) so we could leave and go elsewhere, suggesting the Buenos Aires steak restaurant (my first choice but already booked out).I settled for a hamburger and chips, and my son had the beef ribs, which were sticky and so plentiful his 18-year-old appetite couldn't stomach them all. So out of the three dishes, one was a hit.The restaurant manager very nicely deducted our two drinks off the bill as a goodwill gesture that was appreciated. I'm in two minds whether I'll give this place a second chance. I quite like coming here with mates for drinks downstairs, but the kitchen is a bit hit and miss still, and too much appears pre-prepared, with the chef apparently unable to be flexible or cater for anything on the spot.As we left around 90 minutes later the restaurant was a little busier with the 8pm covers arriving, on top of the party of 12. I hope if they wanted steak they had pre-ordered!

Had a great family meal and in general the food was of a good standard and the staff were very helpful. But the portion sizes were all over the place.Starters - the chicken wings starter was huge, compared to the one slice of toast with a few cut-up mushrooms and a sauce, whereas the calamari was probably about right as was the soup.For the mains, the chicken with a few beans and a sauce was pretty small and why no potato, rice or a fries option? It was almost a carb free zone on the plate. The burger was presented oddly; should have had a small salad in the middle of the long plate, maybe? The ribs meal was almost the size of two meals, a massive plateful!Desserts were about in keeping with most similar establishments.If they chose one size of plate to serve each course on, then broadly filled that plate with food then they would avoid some of this inconsistency.If you are very hungry, just go for chicken wings then ribs - you won't complain!

Great place to have a drink after work or even later. Beers are around $5. You can also have something to eat upstairs.

Thank goodness i decided to stick with the traditional turkey dinner ! everyone else who had ordered other meals from the menu were left hungry as the portion sizes were very disappointing ! The turkey dinner was a little bit of a let down for me as the turkey and the stuffing tasted and looked processed my cheesecake dessert was truly disturbing the texture was so wrong and was like a mousse YUK !!The service was good and the atmosphere was very christmassy ,lovely building from the outside and in a great location but would think again about eating there food not that good !!

Had a team xmas meal and the size of the cod option was about a quarter of the size of the turkey dinners. Way too small to be considered a main course, and was smaller than some of the starters. Service was decent but left feeling a bit cheated.

Wonderful staff very helpful food was excellent as was the service great atmosphere great price would recommend

Don't think I have been that disappointed in a sandwich. You would have thought they would have fresh bread as they serve sandwiches at lunchtime. My Son said his was alright. But to be fair he will eat anything. I had what was meant to be a posh fish finger sandwich. Oily batter with a slither of fish. Will never eat there again.

Had a buffet here for £12.80 per person. The club sandwich 2 slivers of bread, (not sure how they cut so thin) with a piece of chicken the size of a 10 pence piece. 1/4 of a chicken burger. A piece of fish about 6cm long and a vegetarian thing. We had one piece of above per person. A complete rip off. However, the food did taste excellent and the pub itself has a great atmosphere and the staff are all really friendly and helpful. I like the pub but would not book an event there. When I have purchased meals there the food is very good quality and plenty of it.

Although I have never eaten here, I often come here with friends for a drink or two. The bar always has a great atmosphere with many people around. There is often a live singer on the weekends and pub quizzes on Tuesday nights for anyway to join in with. There is outside seating out the front or upstairs where there is another outside seating area. I came her for Christmas Eve last year and had the most amazing fun night. The bar staff are all friendly and you never have to wait long to order you drinks. Their drink selection is good and I look forward to trying their food in the near future. It is located in the middle of the high street so is easy to meet people there for drinks before heading off to the other pubs or bars along the road.

Adoro este bar em Reigate! Ótimo ambiente! Os empregados são muito simpáticos ! Aos fim‑de‑semana têm música ao vivo! Servem refeições mas ainda não almocei nem jantei lá! Tenho vindo sempre ao bar beber uma bebida depois do jantar! Preços acessíveis ! Tem um terraço no exterior muito agradável nos dias de Verão! Recomendo! A voltar ! 5*****

Soon as you walk in you are instantly greeted by the young lady behind the bar, which is a super nice touch. Makes you feel very welcomed, in a town that has a tendency to act a bit snobby. It’s a very clean and nice environment to be in. Nice array of drinks, probably the best selection in Reigate. In fact yes, the best selection in Reigate. Neck Oil was delicious. Food was lovely also, the chips tasted great, tasted like crisp’s almost. The garden is the selling point for this place, it’s a nice big open space with a bar upstairs which is super convenient, when it’s open! Pricey, drinks aren’t cheap….also lack of staff when busy just adds insult to injury. All in all. 7/10. Would recommend for a lunchtime meal/drink. Will be visiting again, probably tomorrow.

Went to a Birthday party here, cost us £20 a head at that price I thought that the food would be rubbish. How wrong was I . Huge portions, well cooked and delicious, was starting to feel full after the starters and was stuffed after the mains and bursting after the sweet. Staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The ribs were huge looked like you got half a pig, chicken wings were large and spicy. Good job all round. I believe we will be back later in the year for another Birthday bash, look forward to it

I recently had my retirement/birthday party in the upstairs bar for about 60 people. Fantastic food and atmosphere. The staff were all friendly, helpful and hard working and did their utmost to ensure we had a great evening. Well done.

In my experience most High St pubs tend to be a bit dingy and offer pretty ordinary, or downright awful, food. This is a really pleasing exception.Inside it is light and airy, spread over two floors - three if you count the garden up top - with friendly and welcoming staff and good food that is well-priced.

Went there on Monday for a quiet drink with friends. When we came in the staff were really friendly and the also had a beer and burger deal for £ 10 . The burger was lovely and the can of Frontier helped wash it down. Will be going back

I organised a surprise 40th party for my wife and reserved upstairs. Charlene & Mark were excellent in helping me organise the night and were extremely helpful. It went so well and Charlene made sure she was on hand when the surprise happened so that my wife didn't see it coming. Went like clockwork! the food was great and they helped with the toast and cake cutting. Ellie or possibly Ella! ( i cant remember) was also fantastic making sure everything went well on the night and kept the drinks flowing! overall a fantastic place to hold a party and I would highly recommend using the Market for a party. Thanks Mark, Charlene & Ellie/Ella!

Very well kept pub, always busy with a good atmosphere and often have bands playing live. There is a good selection of beer and drink but quite expensive even for Reigate (looking at well over £20 for a 4 person round). I always find the bar staff very rude and unhelpful as well as the service being slow. The pub seems too complacent in the fact that dues to its central location it will always be busy and has neglected the customer.

We recently hired the first floor for a corporate event which was a real success. Charlene and Mark were brilliant to work with and very flexible to accommodate our requests. The venue is superb for a private function and offers great food, a private bar and really friendly staff that will look after you. I'd recommend this venue for private parties as it offers great service and value plus a convenient location in Reigate town centre.

If you are going for a drink in the centre of town then you can't fault this place. The food is a tad expensive but overall an average place. Although I am told the real beer is not good.

Visited the Market Stores after dinner elsewhere in Reigate. Downstairs was busy as usual but upstairs was open (often closed for private parties) so ventured up there. Hadn't been upstairs since the renovation and noticed that the bar had been moved to the opposite side of the pub. Where the bar used to be is now a kitchen and so a lot of space has gone. Felt a bit cramped by the bar. Bar staff were friendly and helpful but a round of 4 drinks came to £19 (that included a soft drink). Managed to get a table to sit down. Good atmosphere but perhaps a drinkers pub rather than an eating pub. Will probably return.

I recently hired the upstairs area of The Market Stores for a business event. The staff were excellent and very attentive and the buffet food of a very high standard which was mentioned on several occasions by the attendees.The upstairs really is a lovely venue to hire right in the centre of town. I would highly recommend it which has access to the beautiful outside garden that is also available for hire I believe. I would certainly book the space for another event.

Terribly over priced considering the poor selection of draught lagers £12 for a pint and small wine is shocking!!!

I love this place , always busy with the friendliest staff in Reigate. Went there with friends last week and even though it was packed still got served with a smile. Had the Chicken wing which were lovely. Great to see Fullers doing so well.

i was very disappointed to see management walking through the restaurant in old jogging bottoms, t-shirt and flip flops! We often spend our lunch hour here ,but today were very unimpressed. when moving downstairs for a drink, we noticed 2 staff chatting around the coffee area while 1 girl was trying to serve the people at the bar on her own!

Very good food, lovely and friendly service. They have a nice selection of wines as well. We keep going back !

Second time I have been but this time as a father with 6 of us. The atmosphere is superb and child/baby friendly. Good selection of beers and a good choice of food. I had roast turkey, others had steak, falafel burger, and roast beef. The food was superb and at a decent price. Counter what others have said the staff were superb. Very chatty and helpful and knowledgeable about the wines and food. Will be back again
