Prince Of Wales, Reigate

Conveniently located beside Reigate railway station, the Prince of Wales was refurbished inside and out in September 2013. In the 1800s the building was used to house railway workers. The garden, which backs onto the railway line, used to be a loading area for cattle bought and sold at Reigate market, and until the 1990s, British Rail still used to own it. Today the garden has a covered and seated smoking area. The pub is divided into three main drinking areas, all served from the same U-shaped bar. The main bar has a stripped wood floor and scrubbed deal tables, giving a bright airy feel. Prints of old Reigate adorn the walls. The back rooms are carpeted and in the far back room there is a large screen TV used for major sporting events, and large comfy sofas on which to lounge about. There is also a gas 'wood burner' for cold winter days. There is live music on Saturdays. Food is available each day from 12-9. Accommodation consists of four en-suite rooms. Outside is a table tennis table which is used when the weather is good. The guest beer will always be from Shepherd Neame.
