Sharp's Doom Bar Guest Beers (2)
Now styled as "Pub, Dining & Rooms", the Red Lion dates in part from the 16th century. It remains a family friendly pub specialising in excellent homemade food from a developing menu. This is sold each day from 12 noon until about 9pm. A separate room, built into the cellars, is found down a number of steps, and this can be hired out for parties. The pub is set in 18 acres of land, and has its own cricket pitch. This is leased to the Reigate Pilgrims who play here every summer Sunday, with other teams using the ground on Saturdays. Accommodation comprises six en-suite rooms. These have been built in the former squash courts next to the pub. Note the round wooden barn underneath the pub - this is actually the oldest part of the pub. Outside is a large pergola, and the wisteria here is said to be over 230 years old.
