Dating from the 17th century, this comfortable and deceptively-spacious pub was once a workhouse with a hayloft for horses. It became Reigate’s Pilgrim Brewery’s first pub in 2022. The L-shaped bar offers up to five (mostly Pilgrim) cask beers, plus up to 12 keg lines (again mostly Pilgrim), and there’s a keen focus on other local artisanal products including wines and spirits. There are two further more secluded rooms tucked away to the left, and a cosy fireplace is on the right. Above the fireplace, on a beam, can be seen the former name of the pub, the Foresters Arms. It was in 1991 that the name was changed to the Hatch. The pub was a Shepherd Neame pub (and before that Friary Meux and then a free house). The frontage is a sun-trap with seating and a pleasant adjunct to the more dimly-lit interior. A local pizzeria take over the kitchen from Wednesdays to Sundays. The closing time may vary depending on custom.
