I L left this review about The Garland
A Victorian street corner pub (once called the Anchor Hotel) opposite the Ford garage. If you like Harveys range of ales then this is one of the best places to drink them. Normally 6 plus ales on depending what Harveys seasonals are available plus any special brews they do. No slot machines and no juke box but pleasant and not too loud background music. Food at lunchtimes and occasioanl special event evenings.
Well worth the short walk South from the town centre or the railway station.
Update November 2011
Still by far the best pub in the area with the full range of Harvey's ale in a proper traditional locals pub. Now with a ar ballads table and two dart boards but normally just one in use. Great atmosphere.

Superb selection of Harveys ales in excellent condition, eight available yesterday plus Addlestone's cider. Friendly and welcoming. An unusual collection of clown dolls and masks around the bar. A one roomed pub nowadays with the central island bar. There is a dartboard on the right hand side near the door to the gents.
Very clean and tidy, carpeted and with comfortable seating, the landlord/landlady are clearly proud of this house and rightly so.

Disappointed by the irritating commercial radio playing behind the bar yesterday lunchtime; I like music, but not adverts and banal DJs. Come on Garland, can't believe your target clientel appreciate that intrusion. Previous review of great pub and beer still applies but this visit lasted for only one pint.

Had a good crawl round Redhill yesterday thanks to pub selection inspired by BITE reviewers, but a future visit would require more time to be allotted to the excellent Garland. Somehow, pubs serving Harvey's tend to be my kind of place and that was more than the case here. Full range of outstanding Harvey's ales, friendly bar staff (guv's son), well laid out seating, even a dart board tucked away nr the loo, a generally nice pub feel. The regulars are lucky to have this pub; heard some of them were on a day's jolly to Harvey's homeland of Lewes but I was given a taster of one of their fav mixes - Harvey's Old & Christmas Ale(8.2%) - not for a session methinks.

The Garland is the reason why we stopped off at Redhill i took a photo before we went in as it was getting dark but when we tried the front door it was locked but people were drinking inside then the landlord came to our rescue he said the doors were shut because Brighton were away at Crystal Palace and there could be trouble.
Once inside there was one largish comfortable room and with this being an harveys tied house there was a good choice of their beers on the bar there were about six real ales on and we had a drink of Sussex Pale Ale which was very nice and then a drink of Sussex best bitter which was even better i also noticed Armada Ale and Harveys Old Ale.
This was a realy nice unspoilt pub that we would have liked to stay in all evening.
