The best restaurants serving British food in Reigate Hill Reigate and Banstead South East

My fiancé and I fancied doing something different today. Having previously worked in Reigate, he’d been to the shop many times and said it was very good. We travelled from Farnham and came away feeling like we completed wasted our Saturday. We were told it was a 15 minute wait which isn’t a problem. 40 minutes later we finally got our food but even that wasn’t what we ordered. We were told after the second time coming in to chase the food, that they didn’t have any pickle so I was unable to get the sandwich I ordered. Why was this not checked upon ordering? It wouldn’t have been an issue at the start but after a 40 minute wait, being told I couldn’t even have what I ordered was a joke. On top of that, we ordered untoasted but they came toasted. At that point it wasn’t worth the hassle. Fair dues, we were given a free coffee which softened the blow. I don’t actually blame the staff, I blame whoever runs/owns the shop. Leaving a young and experienced staff force to fend for themselves on a busy Saturday is a terrible was to run an establishment. I imagine they were very stressed and needed more hands on deck. Overall a waste of a journey, the sandwich was very mid and we won’t be returning again.

Great selection of coffee tea and shakes. Inc a scoop of protein powder as an extra!

We were staying in the hotel on a business trip and ate here for all meals. Breakfasts were excellent with delicious fresh fruit and a good choice of hot foods. They seemed only to have instant decaffeinated coffee but the really helpful and friendly waitress found me some 'real' decaff coffee. Lunch sandwiches were fresh and well presented and our evening meals were good too. I would definitely return here for similar work.

If you want decent beer, this is not the place. If you want a whisky, this is not the place. But, if you want to pay £15 for a negroni that you have to teach the bar tender how to make, you're in the right place. Also, don't show up for the sports, Sky didn't work.

Planning permission was eventually received for conversion of the pub into residential units - and work has now commenced on the car park. A great pity - as this pub has played a large part in the lives of the local Reigate Hill community for many decades, and now has gone forever.
