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 two beer festivals are run annually. The large garden, with views across Redhill, is extremely well tended.
