The Bell, Reigate

I think this a great pub..

I think the refurb was much needed and now I come here often with my missus.

Ales are all kept well and taste how they should unless you get the end of barrel (which can happen anywhere) and they now serve 4/6 ales (GK & Local) at a time making it very attractive to myself. Lager looks like it's lagging a bit with nothing under £4 and only real selection is Becks or San Miguel. Wine list is good apart from missing a dry rosé which my wife likes..

The one newish manager is great... He works hard, talks with customers equally, politely and intelligently. He also has good knowledge of all the beers and wines with passion you'll be pushed to find elsewhere.. The other staff are all Ok but he really sticks out to be a great genuine publican..

It can get noisy and cramped in here at the weekends but this adds to the atmosphere. The other nights are much more relaxed and make it a comfortable place to be. Probably the only pub in Reigate where I've never seen any trouble too.

The food is really nice too... Pretty much only burgers but they cater a wide variety and what comes out looks great.

Overall this is great place to be at the moment... Let's hope it stays
