The Rez in Reigate and Banstead

I really liked the food however I’m currently trying not to cry my self to sleep where I’m having a reaction from intolerance and allergies that were clearly stated when I ordered. Please get on top of it before someone else worse then me becomes seriously unwell !

Such a great spot to get off the high street. Grab lunch, breakfast, coffee and home made cake (and ice cream).I love that it’s owner run and not a chain or an investment business. Sit and eat and let your kids have fun, or enjoy the sounds of the other kids living it up! Dogs are welcome too. (Even big old Dalmatians !)

If you’re staying at the adjacent hotel this restaurant is a handy option, but after visiting one weekday evening I didn’t leave convinced it was worth travelling any further for. When I arrived none of the tables in the bar area seemed to be getting cleared or cleaned after use, despite it being very quiet, and the food menu itself was filthy and sticky. Ordering food and drinks at the bar was easy and the member of staff friendly enough, and the service time for the burger was decent. The portion size was alright for the price but presentation a little basic, with the cheese in the burger remaining unmelted. It was a bit annoying once served to have to trek to the other side of the restaurant to collect cutlery though - it would be better to be advised it’s self serve when ordering, or given I was the only diner present, for the staff to offer to collect instead. Taste was okay but certainly couldn’t be considered great value. There’s a decent enough range of drinks available at sensible prices and the large garden area is nice for sunny days. Perhaps I caught it on a bad day but everything else felt rather average though.

Have always in the past enjoyed some nice meals here, haven't been for a few months but went this evening and was very disappointed I had the fish & chips my wife had the hunters chicken. My fish and chips were quite horrendous the batter was like leather, needed to chew it to get through it and the fish was a thin sliver through it, the wife didn't really enjoy her dish the chicken was dry with low quality streaky bacon and Im not sure that the peas had even seen any hot water. We had a large coke and an Asanti lager , the drinks cost was £10 20....not sure what they were charging for each. We won't be back anytime soon

me and my boyfriend went for a meal it was very good until half way though my burger i found a long black hair ( neither of us have black hair) i told the waitor and he was very apologetic. they then redid my burger. however when my new burger arrived it was very burnt and rock solid. the waitor came over to check my new burger was okay and i informed him about the burnt burger and again he was very apologetic. we got offered free deserts but where too full ( i had eaten half the original burger and most of the burnt burger) so they gave us the two cocktails i had for free however still charged us for the burger. service was lovely and they where all very apoplectic and polite. i appreciate this can somtimes happen but really does put you off the food.
