A proper local, good ale.

Having recently moved to Reigate from Redhill I find we use the Nutley more than any other Reigate pub. They let well behaved dogs in (we have a greyhound) and the beer is consistently good. A true local and I hope it stays that way for many years to come.

By way of an update of my comments of 10 Oct '06, my last visit found this pub still serving good ale, still lively, and in good nick. Yet I spotted none of the usual faces that have frequented the place for many years (odd considering it was a Saturday night), and moreover, those that had replaced them were blatantly representative of, shall we say, a certain minority! I have no issue with gay pubs, but the Nutley is emphatically not such an establishment, and I doubt that the licensee would see it as such. Whilst all should be welcome, such flagrant display of camp does, rightly or wrongly, put more moderate locals off and I fear this might be the case here if this crowd persist in using it.
This is one of the last honest locals left in Reigate, and I don't want to see it become a pub for a minority group only at the expense of a broader clientele. Maybe I'm way off beat here, but the signs of a narrowing customer base - whatever their sexuality and appearance, can never be good in my book.

I heard this pub is full of Raliegh Bikes these days, is that a bad thing?

A nice, traditional friendly local - nothing fancy, plain wood-panelled walls, good Badger beers, very pleasant.

I used to drink here regularly in the early '00s but sadly seem to get in here far less nowadays. But that is in no way a reflection on the pub's quality. Possibly Reigate centre's only true remaining local, the Nutley offers an unpretentious (unusual for Reigate!) and honest atmosphere with convivial staff and punters. Accented towards the over-35s but I don't mind that, and all the younger people who I know go there seem to love it as well. Well-kept good range of Hall & Woodhouse beer, and a thriving cricket team to boot. Worth seeking out for a night away from Reigate's pseudo-glamour, or at least as part of a crawl.
Treasure places like this whilst they still exist in the area - they are a dwindling breed thanks to the dull, unimaginative and by-numbers stranglehold of certain pubcos.

We went in there the other Saturday to watch the footie and it was really good. Beer and locals friendly. They even shared their bargain buckets with us!

Top pub for a quiet pint. Quite small but you know that when you choose to go there. Mmmm Stowford Press cider. Very nice. Only pub I have been in with it's own cave system below it. (The market has some behind it but that's not the same)

I think "Benjamin" drinks at the White Hart...
I've only been here a couple of times, but found them very friendly, nice drinks and fairly priced.
Its slightly out of my way otherwise I'd drink here all the time.
If only the other landlords would take note...

A great local, off-the-beaten-track pub which is the only place in Reigate to sell Stowford Press cider so it gets my vote! Function room out the back for special parties. Pleasant on-street seating. Very clean toilets! (and no I'm not connected with the land lord, just a random drinker!)

Are you sure you're talking about the right pub Benjamin? The regulars do all know each other but they're very friendly.

Definitely the worst pub in Reigate. Great if you know the locals, if not stand against he wall and wait to be shot. Obviously the previous comments have been made by the landlord and friends!P.S.Pipes are dirty, beer is crap!

Really suprised on my first visit. Was standing-room only but it didn't matter. really friendly, lovely little pub.

Yes, it is limited space-wise but it is prpbably the most genuine local left in Reigate. Down-to-earth friendly clientele, and beer quality is now sound although has varied in the past. Food looks worthwhile but haven't tried it. Nicely tucked away.

Very small but very friendly. Often standing room only. Good selection of beer. The staff are friendly but always seem to be regulars who have volunteered to work that night so they don't always know where everything is! Patio garden at the side is quite nice too. Definitely a locals' pub.
Oh yeah...they have a cricket team too: http://www.nutley.demon.co.uk/
