The Skimmington Castle started life as a farm 400 years ago. It became a pub in 1825 but in recent years has been more akin to a restaurant than pub, especially at weekends, meaning that drinkers may find all the tables taken by diners. The pub has a great location though, and on a sunny day, the beer garden is a wonderful place to enjoy a few pints, with or without a meal. Three beers are usually available, with the Pilgrim beer sometimes changing to Progress. Inside there are a number of rooms, including one down a few steep steps (where families are permitted), all served by the one bar. This is very much a cosy pub with lots of atmosphere. Low ceilings and a real fire only help to enhance this. Reigate Heath is a popular spot for walkers and the Skim is a favourite stopping off place for them. Note that Bonny's Road is a small turning off Flanchford Road, and cuts across the golf course. Speed humps mean you must go slowly. The pub is very dog friendly.
A multi-roomed pub of character, but the bar is situated in an extension to the original building and has new fittings. It is difficult to judge what the original room plan was and there are only a few fittings of age such as an old inglenook fireplace and a 1930s brick one. Not enough for RI. (MS/GB 05)
