Garibaldi, Redhill

It's a steep climb to reach this small single room Victorian pub, which is notable for its tiled-roofed front and side veranda. It was one of the last pubs in the area to gain a full licence. It was saved from demolition in 2017 by a community group which now runs the pub on a not for profit basis with any money made put back into improving the pub facilities. It has a single C-shaped room with a long central bar, television screens at either end often showing Sky or BT Sports at a discrete volume, and a small side-room with a dartboard. The large pub garden has views across Redhill and there are also tables and a smoking area to the front of the building. The pub has a thriving social scene organising a range of activities including live music, karaoke, quizzes, raffles and brewery trips. The ghost of Albert, a former coachman who used to tie his horse up outside, is reputed to sometimes sit at one end of the bar. However, he means no harm and just sits on a stool at the left hand side of the bar.. At least three beer festivals are run annually. The large garden, with views across Redhill, is extremely well tended. Food trucks provide food from Thursday to Saturday. As well as the five cask beers, three craft keg beers are sold.
