Pretty corner pub run by Pilgrim Brewery and GBG listed. Unfortunately the S shaped interior is dark and stark, an oppressive mixture of bluey greys allied with a slate floor which sucks the life out of you and bears no resemblance to the description proffered by Mr Coombs below. Three Pilgrim ales on over five pumps. GBG listed (obvs) so I plumped for the 40 Years of Progress (NBSS 3) and Surrey Session (2.5). There are an additional 14 pumps offering a variety of keg, some obvious some not, including a few of theirs. To cement my opinion is that whilst they take cash it turned out they had very little float, so to save the barman grief I grudgingly paid by card to add an extra pointless line to my bank statement. I didn't fancy the place much, far too grim – pubs are meant to be warm and fun.

Reigate's Pilgrim Brewery are now running The Hatch and they're doing a mighty fine job.
Approaching the pub, you'll first encounter a few seats outside the front while inside its been smartly refurbished; the floor is part wooden boarded and partly dark grey flagstones. There's more outside seating in the garden at the back of the house.
The bar offers an impressive 14 taps, supported by 5 handpumps. There's even a fridge with a few more options in can and bottle. The host brewery obviously predominate with styles both modern and traditional, plus a couple of interesting continental options. A blackboard above the bar struggles to keep up with the range.
Service is some of the best, being friendly and informative, and the barkeep will keep you posted on current beer availability.
An absolute must if you've decided to visit either Redhill or Reigate in search of good beer.

Curious little pub on a bendy road junction, which doesn't look much from the outside but is surprisingly nice inside. Now a genuine free house, it has avoided the usual corporate refurbishment but is tastefully decorated in a drawing room feel, enhanced by a random selection of antique-type chairs and tables. Behind the large central bar is a smaller cosy area with a sign pointing to more "secret seating" somewhere in the back. There are also a few roadside tables in the front. A good range of mainly local ales is on offer, together with a very large wine list and a high-quality food offering.
