The Hatch Public House in Reigate and Banstead

Such a lovly place, dog friendly, nice service, and nice people 10/10 from me.

Leona's food is exceptional on Sunday's. Give it a go and see for yourselves

Had a great night. Food was brilliant and Tiger made our evening really special by making the most amazing cocktails especially for us. First time there but definitely will be returning! Thank you to all the staff who gave us a great night

Would recommend! Dog friendly and great food. Had a chat with charlie, it was lovely to talk to a friendly and passionate pub chef! Bar staff were also friendly, all round good experience.

JUST TOO DARK INSIDE The Beer tasted great, which we all agreed, but whilst the bar staff were talking to themselves, I had to say excuse me can I have a drink when we first arrived ! The real problem is it is far too dark inside, 3/4 of us go out for a drink usually on Thursday for about 2 hours from 6pm ish and spend about £90-£110 but have all decided we would need to bring our own lanterns along PLUS the tables are not very well cleaned, stick on the underside as well as the top ..... If the staff weren't chatting and had a look around they may have notice.... shame really as the beer is 1st Class. But Hey Ho there you go, plenty of other pubs around.

Nice spot, good craft selection. Dog friendly

Good range of beers and a nice-looking pub but no parking (not their fault). Surly service, however. When offering my cash, the response was a barked "Got no change for that," whilst looking at me like I was dirt. Signs on the bar say 'cashless payments preferred', they dont say 'no cash taken'. I paid by card as I was thirsty on a hot day, but I should have walked away. I shan't be returning.

The place is becoming a crèche. Over 10cms kids using the Chesterfields as climbing frames. Driving people out, stupid phones. Really ruins the place and the parents should keep them close. No longer a quite beer after work.

Really great pub. Busy but nice atmosphere, excellent drink selection. Pizza was great. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite pubs in the Redhill / Reigate area. The Saracen stout is especially impressive.

Absolutely love little pub, great beer and love Monte Forte Pizza too.

Excellent pub. Good staff and atmosphere. Gardens could do with some tidying and plant care. Pizzas highly recommended

We’ve been coming to The Hatch since it re-opened and it’s become our favourite place to come to for a wind down and a pizza. You really cannot fault this place…it’s warm, inviting and the atmosphere is friendly. A real gem in between Reigate and Redhill. The staff are lovely and friendly, always happy to have a chat with you. The pizzas from Monte Forte in the pub are delicious!! The best pub around.

Just had the Sunday Lunch here. Easily the best in Reigate. Also what a great pub! Staff great, atmosphere great, drink selection great. Highly recommended

Very good beer selection. Really cool place !! Rare for the area if you're a beer snob you will love it !!

Great local pub, excellent beer selection, the best pizza - and now massive roasts too. Great number of events too which will have to come back for. A great reason to support local, great work Hatch Team

Really good selection tonight of beers.

Amazing pub! The best beers from Pilgrim Brewery and pizza from Monte forte! Amazing staff especially Jacob! Lovely time ! Recommend trying the Saracen stout and Zola pizza! 🤘

Amazing beer selection. Not just from local brewers but Germany and Belgium too. Also, nice cider from Sheppey. Friendly staff and delicious crisps!

Great selection of Pilgrim Brewery's cask and keg beers, well kept Great pizzas too

We love the Hatch. Pilgrim Brewery has done a really good job making it a sociable destination. The addition of Monte Forte in the kitchen was genius.

When it first arrived, the Pilgrim Brewery Hatch was a real breath of fresh air, a return to what pubs used to be all about: good beer and basic food in a comfortable setting where you could enjoy conversations or maybe just sit quietly and read a book. In recent years I'd taken to doing that at home (where it's much cheaper) because one local pub after another began to be ruined by Sky Sports screens dominating the atmosphere both acoustically and visually. I can't remember the last time I visited the Garibaldi or the Garland for that very reason. But now the Hatch has gone the same way. A recent lunchtime pint, listening to some good background music while quietly chatting, was ruined when the huge screen came on and conversation became impossible. Such a shame to see a pub which dared to be different go the same way as all the others.

I came with 4 mates and honestly would make this my local if I could 🥲! To share I got rocket with parmesan and olives, I had 2 IPAs and pizza wise I ordered the Zola. It’s a veggie pizza that has cheese, pine nuts, poach pears, basil & drizzle of honey. Was scrumptious 🤤 and want to go back again. What more can you want from a pub. Variety of beers on tap 🍻, delicious pizza 🍕, lovely service from bar staff and chefs and charming atmosphere 💗

Now owned by Pilgrim and has improved

Very nice tap house style pub, plenty of different beer, ale, ipa’s etc to try, very nice decor and doggy friendly- have not tried the food yet but I have heard great things about their pizza!

Just had the most exquisite pint in the fan world! We were served by the lovely Tiger and Rob! They were so lovely and attentive and hung. Me and my grandma will be coming again!

Beers with the wife. My 4th visit and still a joy

A real pub! Lively, great beer selection - 5 hand pumped Pilgrims beers! - and friendly bar staff. Pizzas are good too but take your own metal cutlery, the wooden disposable cutlery isn't up to the job

Great local pub, manager gave good recommendations on beers and whiskey. Top score x

Most chilled pub in Reigate Great beer and atmosphere Monte Forte proper Neapolitan pizza

I do love this pub. It's my local. However, I'm sat here after 7 pm and and the place us rammed with primary school age kids screaming and throwing things. An unusual sight in a pub!

Great little pub, reasonable prices also and dog friendly :)

Wow. Dark cald and uninviting. After ordering drinks, to be told its difficult to take cash payments as 'the boss has decided to get no change' & unfortunately the barmaid didn't like my negativity to this!!! If you don't take cash you should advertise this before serving drinks! For me this is a place to avoid! Badly organised, dark & cold interior (open fired not light) no heating on....its 12° outside and that warmer than in this pub!

A superb pub with amazing staff and an extraordinary range of exceptional beers.

Amazingly busy place - and a great success. The integral pizza operation has been a great addition, and the two beer gardens are almost always full. If the place has a fault - it's the lack of available seating, and the constant pressure the staff are under to serve their satisfied and plentiful customers.

Really lovely vibes all round. Absolutely fantastic local beer, and incredible neopolitan pizzas. Magical dish here, pizza frittas (basically ricotta cheese+ calzone). Fairly regular activities throughout the week/month as well. Sidenote - most excellent playlist rolling in the background btw.

Sadly lacking a car park but on-street parking available nearby.

We were a group of 6 people meeting up at opening time (12 noon) for a birthday drink and lunch on Saturday 23/9. We arrived at 12:00 to find the pub closed and the stools on the tables. There was someone in the back of the pub but he made no effort to open the door even after I knocked on it. Two more customers arrived at 12:10 saw that it was shut and decided to go for a coffee instead. At around 12:15 we left to find another pub. We found out later that the pub was not unexpectedly closed, just late opening. Well that lost you 8 customers, no wonder some pubs are struggling!

This is a response to Jonathan Dalgleish’s unfair review and inaccurate account. I was on the table next to him. The tables in that whole area of the bar had been reserved for a wake but busy members of staff had forgotten to put a sign on that particular table. He decided to sit there, disregarding what was obviously a gathering which included that table. Polite member of staff came and repeatedly apologised and offered to move him and his lady companion to another table or give a full refund. This gentlemen started shouting and swearing in front of children and directly at the member of staff from the outset and was extremely rude and obnoxious. Another gentleman customer tried to help and he also got the short end of this reviewer’s temper. I’ve been to The Hatch many times and have had nothing but extremely positive experience. The staff are amazing and the owners have done a fantastic job of renovating and turning this historic pub around which under previous ownership had lost its way. I’m so glad that people like the rude reviewer will not be visiting this much-loved heart of the our community. Good riddance, I’d say!

Don't be surprised to be thrown off your table with no notice and no apology if one of the barman's mates wants it. It's happened to me twice now "Oh yeah, it was reserved but I forgot to put a notice on it" Go get em 'Tiger' Take your business to a proper pub.

Love this place, seating areas in the front and back and plenty of space inside. Dog friendly! Lots of choice of beer including local breweries which is why we visit and then monte forte pizza which is normally better than the actual resturant! Great little pub and would highly recommend.

Scruffy; intimidating; unwelcoming; entitled - spen72's words (the last poster). We (a couple) find The Hatch friendly, clean, well run - with great beer and food....

When you arrive at a bar wanting to welcome friends you haven't seen in ages, having to stand in silence slowly connecting to WiFi and then downloading and ordering food on an app is a really weird experience and felt so anti social. We wanted to hug and chat and order food from a human. Please bring back menus and service. This 1 tweak would make this a 5 star place. Food delicious, bar staff lovely, quiz excellent 👌

Such a shame. It was nice when I came before with friends a few months ago. It looks scruffy/dirty glasses/sloppy drinks service, and the the staff can't be bothered. Before, we felt welcomed and looked after. Now it feels very unwelcoming with a crowd of "the guys" making it awkward to get to the ladies. This had happened before but the manageress made a point explaining to said "gentlemen", that it's very intimidating for a woman to have to try and push her way through to the only female toilets in the building. When I tried to get through most recently, I was met with glares and stares from, and I'm stating the facts as I experienced them, a group of grumpy middle-aged, entitled men. On our previous visit, we witnessed a female manager ckear our path to the toilets and also very successfully manage a potentially violent argument, where punches were not thrown, despite a male manager deciding to walk off when the argument erupted. She also made sure that our group was OK, after the dust had settled. I will more than likely suggest that we go to Reigate Town next time.

A beautiful pub in the area. Very nice food, they have a specialist pizza oven and team. Very nice atmosphere and location.

Underwhelming. Popped in for a drink before a meal in Reigate after reading the rave reviews. Unfortunately it didn't match expectations. The bar staff seemed unwelcoming and it felt very cliquey with quite obviously the regulars. Felt uncomfortable so I drank quickly and left. A shame as it seems to have had a lovely refurb but unfortunately the atmosphere didn't match on this occasion

Brilliant vibes Welcoming staff Excellent beer and drinks selection Great pizza Decor is totally different from most other photos on this page The new owners have done a stellar job of renovating this pub and injecting new life into the venue.

Given it four stars because of the quality of the ales but found the service a bit lacklustre as well as the atmosphere. this could be down to time of visit - 1530-1600 on a Thursday

Very bad system of one entity providing the food and one drinks while no manager available. Waited 90 minutes for 2 kids pizzas, 1 pizza and meatballs. Table arriving half an hour after us got food 30 mins earlier than we did. IT system crash blamed for all the orders going in at once with no timestamp. Once the order arrived it was mixed up, kids’ pizzas both had mushrooms (they hate mushrooms), chicken, that was charged extra for, was missing, salad didn’t arrive at all… absolute disaster. Food was good (when it arrived) but not worth all the hassle. Please don’t come here unless you just want a pint from very disinterested staff.

Great pub. Good beer. Amazing pizza. Nice vibe and crowd. Sometimes it's hard to get a table but that's my fault for not being there earlier.

I suggested we stop at The Hatch as I knew my son wanted to try the Beer . I was driving so as I saw a coffee machine asked for when they had time a Coffee they said we do not serve hot drinks! When I went back in they were making coffee oh but this is for cocktails ?? Suddenly in 10 mins it had gone from a real ale pub to a cocktail bar ? The pub sign advertised a coffee lounge . I do not like soft drinks and atm drink coffee as I have severe fatigue and cannot stay out for long periods of time .I wrote to The Brewery which did not say sorry I was disappointed with my visit nor say hoped to see me again .They just gave me a long e.mail about their marketing strategy! They seem a tad blase and that's putting it politely 😉 picture is of sign advertising COFFEE LOUNGE

Terrible service. Feels like kids running their own little social club here. Don't bother. If I could leave zero stars, I would.

Poor service, no condiments. Half the ice cream flavours were out of stock. The milkshake was completely runny. No lid nor straw. No serviettes. No hospitality. The cashier was inaudibly muttering, very difficult to understand. My daughters ice cream’s cone broke It was handed to us broken. Didn’t hold the ice cream and the ice cream went on the floor. I pointed it out and the cashier said he can give a tub. So he gave a tub for the ice cream from the floor. Didn’t expect this after spending over £20 on a few ice creams. Don’t waste your money. It’s nasty here

Very friendly and very lively place

Good beer from Pilgrim, great food from MF- what more do I need! The bar manager seems abrupt, the first time I thought it was due to it being a quiet Sunday night but have noticed it on subsequent visits- overheard one couple waiting 90 mins for their food (a technical glitch apparently) and she delivered it without so much as an apology. Could maybe do with a bit of a tidy up on the front as lots of crisp packets and other litter in the hedges, it must be difficult on the main road though. It’s rapidly becoming our ‘local’ pub, it says a lot that we walk past 2 other pubs to get there!!

My how this place has turned around. Very popular pub in the middle of Redhill/Reigate (Redgate) suburbia. Great assortment of beverages with mighty fine pizza to match. What's not to enjoy. Smallish pub so can become crowded due to it's popularity. Beer gardens, lounge and tabled areas. Find a spot and enjoy.

Very nice local pub. Does some great local ales as well.

As a big fan of both Pilgrim Brewery and Monte Forte Pizza in Reigate, this is an obvious five star rating. With a dozen beers on tap, four five on hand pumps and a selection of gins, wines etc, you'll find your ideal tipple here. Not only that but the absolute tastiest freshly hand made pizza around.

Great quality food, great service, nice atmosphere! Repeat customer and definitely going again!

Very pleasant quiet atmosphere with groups of people having a drink and a chat. The pizzas were excellent and the Italian menu was broader than expected. Altogether a nice surprise.

Great pub, really nice beer and a great range of pilgrim beers

Lovely brewery-owned pub serving locally brewed beer and great pizzas. Down to earth and friendly.

Lovely atmosphere, interesting place to visit and most importantly excellent beer!

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere and excellent beer! The landlady is friendly and welcoming. The food is brilliant!! It's definitely worth a visit!

It’s a good job the pizza and beer selection are fabulous, as the service was awful!! Be aware they charge an extra 10% service charge that they do not tell you about ! Feel we were more of an inconvenience than customers who spent £100!

What a great pub now that Pilgrim have taken over. Fantastic range and quality of beer. Super friendly team and great pizzas.

Best pub in the local area as far as I am concerned. The collaboration with Monte Forte takes this place to the next level. Defenitly worth a visit.

Amazing beer and now food. 👌 👏 😍

Lovely drinking experience here The brewery that have taken it over make a amazing tasty drinking experience. The decor here is absolutely brilliant creating a rustic chilled environment 👌

The double American honey pizza served here is without doubt the best pizza I have eaten in my life. I have eaten a lot of pizza. The beer’s good too.

Been here multiple times and it's brilliant so good to see a local brewery doing so well.

Pilgrim Brewery's flagship pub. Excellent beers and comfortable atmosphere.

We love Monte Forte Pizza and Pilgrims Beer and this place has it all! Thank you…we will definitely visit again as soon as we can.

Not everyone are beer drinkers and for some reason don't stock normal barcardi vodka etc, I would like to know if there is a reason why?

Great new team from Pilgrim and Monte Forte. Looking forward to going back in the New Year

Great beer and now great Neopolitan pizza too courtesy of Monte Forte - so glad to have a place like The Hatch nearby!

Welcoming staff, good ambiance and about 14 quality beers on tap. Good place to while away a few hours.

Cramped, uncomfortable and dark. Can’t book a table unless you’re the manager or his mates apparently. Won’t be back I’ll stick to the taproom which has a far nicer vibe Edit: wonder how they booked when there is no number to call and the email does not work. Very much feeding into the “in the know vibe”. By the way if you want to use the back room by the smoking area as a meeting room leaving no tables for paying customers just let us know that. As I said previously I’ll go to the tap room where I got a lovely welcome and some customer service. Won’t be back in the Hatch until the culture changes.

Great to discover this place had reopened, and the beer/wine we tried was all excellent. Comfortable space and seems well attended.

Really nice local pub and great selection of drinks. My only suggestion would be to look at introducing more two person tables at the front (particularly on the left). There's currently one big table which ends up as wasted space when the place is busy whereas a group could pull the twos together if needed.

we were greet by friendly staff. Good choice of beers. On Friday night they have a food truck, these are brilliant. Pub caters for all ages. Owned by the Pilgrim brewery. Great pub.

They've done a great job with the refurb. All local beers brewed in Reigate which is good. Feels like a great traditional pub...look forward to being in there when the fires are on

Glad the local is back and with some great Pilgrim beers

Great selection of ales, as you would expect from an excellent brewery and good prices. However the recent refit with hard finishes has made the front and mid rooms echo chambers, to the point where on two occasions we have left. This will be sorted I'm sure, but the homely pub is now a tap room with more seating. No food is available yet, but again is on the cards, with a pie offering coming soon. Early days and I hope to give it 5 stars in the future.

Lovely old pub, situated in what was once Reigate Foreign Workhouse. Good beers from Pilgrim Brewery. No food was on offer when I visited, but different Street Food is on offer at weekends (check Social Media).

Exceptionally fine pub, great beers, brilliant stuff.

Great spot for Friday night beers

I couldn't believe how expensive a drink out in a South England pub has become... other than that, not a bad pub...

really nice pub with friendly helpful staff

Great beer, good atmosphere, attentive & friendly staff, will visit again soon 🍻

Pub has been renovated really nicely. Great choice of quality beers and drinks. Friendly staff, highly recommended.

Now under new management and brilliant thanks pilgrim brewery for giving us a great local pub

Worth the walk to get a pint of Pilgrims

Beautiful pub, staff amazing 🤩 Great selection of drinks

Pilgrim have done something special here. Great selection of cask and keg beers and there is a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Decoration is modern and done well. The only disappointment was time being called at 10:40 on Saturday night. Our group certainly wasn't ready to leave!

Excellent ale from Pilgrim Brewery, friendly staff, a genuine pub

Recently taken over by the local Pilgrim Brewery. No food but a good range of tap / pump beers, some local spirits on offer and bar snacks.

Had a great time at the Hatch, with my son & dogs. Only recommendation ( on re-opening weekend) is to have another till, as payment process seemed to be slowing down service. The good news after being closed for so long, it was super busy & the staff were great!

Reopened this week after a comprehensive refurbishment - tasteful too, and innovative. Now owned by a local brewery. Excellent service - with front and rear beer gardens, and good space management. Like pubs should be - different. Will give the opposition something to think about. A fine, brave and well planned investment. To show up the deficiencies of the tired and predictable old fashioned pubs in the general area.

Just reopened now run by pilgrim brewery from reigate, selling their beers and a few guest beers mainly craft beer both keg and cask
