Pilgrim Brewery

Reviewed By JustinLGT - London, United Kingdom

The beer was really nice with a great selection of beers as you would expect, the location off the high street with the cricket ground behind is really nice, and they are well set up amazingly for pre-c19 summer drinks...and post c19 social distancing spacing drinking. I am not an authority on regulations, but they were very diligent at getting people to use hand sanitiser, they had good spaces for drinking, and they seemed to be very organised and efficient. The one thing that really stood out was how great the staff were. Not only was their table service super efficient, and were they 100% on hand, but they were a very charming crew. I turned up early ahead of my group and they couldn't have been nicer with each one stopping to see how I was doing. It's a really cool place to drink and will definitely go back.

Gatton Park

Gatton Park is a beautiful historic parkland with Edwardian gardens in Reigate, Surrey. Stretching 260 acres, the estate lies within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to the Royal Alexandra and Albert School. Gatton’s awe-inspiring views were designed by renowned English landscape architect, ‘Capability’ Brown in the Eighteenth Century. The Japanese garden, rock garden, pleasure gardens and parterre were added by Sir Jeremiah Colman, of mustard fame, who owned Gatton in 1888. Open Days are on the first Sunday of the month from February to October 1-5pm. In addition, there is a programme of special events, workshops and children’s activities. The Gatton Trust is a registered charity and all proceeds from events go towards the restoration of Gatton Park.

Priory Park

Reviewed By Terry148524 - Caterham, United Kingdom

This is probably the best park in the area, we tend to visit during the summer month when we are visiting Reigate. Our grandchildren love the large children's playground with its climable pirate ship, the numerous play apparatus, and the sand pit area. We adults enjoy the walks and the large pond in its attractive setting and we usually have a walk around it, before we head for home. Summer Festivals and Fairs are worth visiting. There is car parking near to the entrance in Bell Street.

Earlswood Common

Reviewed By MrsMichy - London, United Kingdom

Having posted reviews from all round the world I thought it was about time I reviewed Earlswood Lakes which is on my doorstep. Over the last few years investment has been made in this area and the two lakes are looking better than ever, filled with wildlife. There has been a very successful breeding programme this year (Spring time was wonderful for my grandchildren seeking out the new babies each week) There are a large number of swans. Yes, if you are nervous they can be intimidating, but providing you approach them with respect, they will feed from your hands. There are footpaths around both lakes (Note: the top lake gets very muddy in winter so not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs) There are 23 original bird boxes for the children to look out for (leaflet available). The top lake has boats and pedalos and a very special sun dial. There is also a wooded area which is ideal for den building. The bottom lake has clean public toilets and great refreshments (best bacon rolls in the area) The car park is free but can get very busy at weekends. Fishing is possible but I believe you need to obtain a licence. Also ideal for dog walkers. The common land is no longer a golf course so you are now safe to picnic anywhere without the fear of being hit by a golf ball!. Go and Explore. There are lots of areas to check out if you venture away from the main footpaths.
