The Bull's Head dates from 1628, the Garland pours Harvey's: 17 pubs in Reigate, Redhill and Horley with hours, dogs and hygiene ratings, checked October 2026.

Most people looking for a pub in Reigate end up at one of four. The Skimmington Castle is the old farmhouse pub on Reigate Heath. The Bull’s Head on the High Street says it was built in 1628. The Bell on Bell Street is the small one for local beer. In Redhill, the Garland is Harvey’s only tied pub in Surrey. Every entry was checked against the pub’s own website on 24 October 2026.

We have not visited these pubs for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry sets out what the pub says about itself and what it publishes about hours, food, dogs and children. It then adds what the public record shows: the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) descriptions and dates, listed-building records and the Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. Where a pub does not publish its hours on its own site, we give CAMRA’s and say so.

How we chose

This is a list of the pubs people search for, chosen on records anyone can check, not on taste. We started with the pubs CAMRA’s East and Mid Surrey branch describes in detail and those with a recorded history: the Six Bells, the Bull’s Head, the Skimmington Castle and the Home Cottage. Then we added the busy town-centre and station pubs most people use, and a few village pubs in the north of the borough. We left out anything with a food hygiene rating below 3. That rules out, for now, the Hatch and the Pilgrim Brewery taproom, both rated low in 2026, as well as the Feathers in Merstham and the Red Lion in Redhill.

Some well-known pubs are missing for other reasons. The Market Stores on the High Street is closed for refurbishment and says it reopens on 20 November; we will add it once it is open. We could not reach a working website for the Blue Anchor on West Street or the Red Cross on the High Street, so we could not check their hours. Two pub websites that once belonged to Redhill pubs now carry unrelated content, so if you search for a pub, check that the site you land on is really theirs.

We checked every pub’s own website on 24 October 2026 for hours, food, dogs and any closure notice, and took hygiene ratings from the FSA register the same day. CAMRA hours are the branch’s most recent update and may lag behind the pub. Hours change, so check with the pub before you go.
