We must have come on a bad night! 4 of us booked in for our little Christmas work dinner on 23rd December at 7.30pm. Got our drinks finally about 8.15pm and then our food order was taken. Which also took forever. We had 3 courses in a very short space of time as at 10pm our bill was placed on table and we were told they were now closed so could we go up to the bar and pay as soon as possible. We had to call waitress over each time we wanted a drink as well. Just ruined it really that they took so long to start with then rushed so they could close by 10pm. Usually enjoy at the mint which is why we picked there but have been very put off from going back and 2 at our table had never been before and that also put them off! Shame. Can I just add restaurant wasn't packed either!

Visited on Saturday 16th November 2024 at 3pm. We are 5 noisy ladies but they put us on a table out of the way of annoying others. Had a great time, all enjoyed our food and were served by James who said he was new. He was excellent and looked after us very well. ( Even though 1of us changed here order about 5 times). He doubled checked everything and gave us lots of recommendations. Service was 5*

Very disappointed. We were a little late because the road was closed and we had to go a long way to get there, the lady behind the bar was not happy with us even after we apologised. The price of each of our meals was £18 so you expect a good standard. The fish in the fish and chips was very small and overcooked and the peas were barely warm. The fish pie had one king prawn in it and was served with 8 green beans and 2 halves of carrot. The aubergine gratin was burnt and when I asked for another one the waitress said it was supposed to look like that, but when I pointed out that its possible to cook it without burning it she took it away. All in all, it wasn't a nice experience and we certainly won't be going back.

Had a great meal and experience at the Mint. Our table was super cosy, just by the fireplace and we were looked after by Ewan who was charming and offered a great service. The food was equally amazing, we went for the skewers and pork belly paired with a nice bottle of red. This was our first visit at the Mint and we will definitely go back as there is so much more in the Menu that we would like to try. Overall a great experience, thank you!

Rip off They do a set price menu for lunch that wasnt presented. Only the inflated price menu's were being given out. The set price was given to customers if they asked for it. We had a two course lunch I asked if I presented a discount voucher and was charged the prices from the inflated menu. Less the discount which was more expensive than the set menu price. After complaining I was told to read the small print. Surely the staff if fully trained (and have read the small print)should advise customers of the best deals. The only bitter the had on tap was Doombar.

Service is very slow and confusing, we went on a slow Saturday evening for a cosy pub dinner to celebrate our anniversary, after waiting over 40 minutes for someone to serve our table I ended up going to the bar to order food, we couldn't work out why the other 3 tables in our area got attentive table service and our table had to order from the bar? Nothing was said on our arrival. when the food finally arrived it seemed very overpriced for what it was, none of the other tables in our area seemed to be having a good meal either, between mixed up orders and long waits to one table having to produce ID half way through their dinner because the staff suddenly decided they needed to prove their age? The only saving grace was the desert that was beautiful and delicious but again had the wait ages for them to be served! We won't be going back.

Love the mint. Has a nice atmosphere and tasty food. Was served by Ewan today. The place was busy and the staff were having to work extra hard as a result. We had great tasting food. The fish and chips portion was big and tasty. I had the beef lunch sandwich which was also really enjoyable. Best advice is to book ahead as we saw a few walk in folks having to miss out due to the place being full.

Went here with my daughter a couple of weeks ago. Both had fillet steak. Initially my chips were very over cooked and rock hard. This was sorted quickly, my steak was fine but my daughter's was very fatty and chewy, spoke to waitress to let her know. She said she'd let the supplier know!?? But didn't adjust the bill, about half the steak was uneatable. Very overpriced

We enjoyed our Saturday lunch at The Mint having booked a table by phone as the on- line system said there was none available. The staff were welcoming, our server was Euan who was friendly, efficient and hardworking. My friend had the Prawn Skewer and I the Halloumi one. Both were attractively served with their side dishes and both were much enjoyed. 😊. To follow we had mini desserts with coffee which were just right after eating our Mains. When you fancy a small sweet treat the mini ones with coffee are excellent. Surprisingly the restaurant was only half full but maybe Saturday lunchtime is not a popular time.

Didn't get off to the best start as the table we were shown to had ants running on top of the table and on the floor underneath. Quickly shown to another table then waited 20mins for our drinks order to be taken. We then had a long wait, 45mins, to receive our food. When it came it was nice and tasty. Didn't have to wait for too long for the puddings but the crumble should have come with a warning, it was boiling hot. Overall it was a shame we had to wait so long for the food, but the waitresses served with a smile on their faces.

We booked for their festive menu. The decor is beautiful at Christmas time. So festive. Unfortunately the atmosphere, service and food did not match the decor which was really disappointing. Combined with the meal being average at best, we were also shocked to find that a house bottle of red wine was £30! My son asked for a bread roll with butter and got a slice of toast plus his meal arrived after everyone had finished. Although, in fairness, they did not charge us for his meal as a result. Nor could my daughter eat her butternut soup as it was way too spicy. It’s a lovely venue for a pint but the quality of the food needs to improve a lot before we would ever consider eating there again unfortunately.

Planning permission was eventually received for conversion of the pub into residential units - and work has now commenced on the car park. A great pity - as this pub has played a large part in the lives of the local Reigate Hill community for many decades, and now has gone forever.
