Old Chestnut, Redhill

Built around 1864, and largely unaltered, this community local was originally called the Station Hotel. It consists of one room around a very large bar. To one end is a bar billiards table and darts is played away from this. Sky Sports and BT Sports is shown and the pub still has its real fire. There is live music once a month. The floor of the area round the bar billiards table has a vinyl-type surface, while the rest of the pub has carpeted areas where tables and chairs are placed, with pathways of bare wooden boards between the tables and round the bar. There is an attractive beer garden. No food is served although customers are welcome to bring in food from the chippy opposite or from the well known Ruchita Indian restaurant next door. A pizza van comes on Thursday. One guest beer will always be from Pilgrim.
