Sun

When the Sun opened on 14 August 1996, it was Wetherspoon's 150^th pub and is named to commemorate local astronomer Richard Carrington who wrote Spots on the Sun in 1861. It is on the site of a former Magnet kitchen store, and has been built as a huge brick slab with windows along the whole frontage at a lower level. Inside there is one long bar serving one vast open space. A raised dining area is to be found at the left hand side of the bar. A total of four pillars provide the only relief from the openness of the pub, and one of these is surrounded by fruit machines. A bookcase, with a display of cans and bottles and some books underneath, fills part of the right hand wall, and there are many prints telling stories of famous local people. A number of modern paintings by local artist Robert Jones depicting life in Redhill are also displayed. Families are welcome until 8pm, and food is served all day from 8-11. Around five guest beers are sold, usually with at least one from LocAle brewers. Real cider is available in pins kept in the fridge. A quiz is held Monday nights from 7pm. The small pavement outside area is split into smoking and non smoking areas.
