The Yew Tree 'Time well spent', Reigate Hill

I have seen this place change in the last few years, since the ownership changed, and I believe it is undoubtedly the best it has been. The recent d�cor change along with the staff & menu really has put this in my top ten in this area. I like the Sportsman pub, it�s sister site, however for me the Yew Tree has the edge. It is cosy and relaxing without being over phoney. The food is by far its best offering. A recent chef change has made an already good menu into a good thoughtful pub menu, without the prices rocketing. Has a proper pub side as well as a laid up restaurant area, beer selection is good and the interior just always seems to be really clean and polished. My wife enjoys this place too, which is always a bonus as I am an avid pub goer. The getting in and out can be a slight pain on the main road, but this place is worth the hassle. Reading through the comments on some pubs around here I just think that some pubs are really trying to combat the declining pub industry and I for one think this place is achieving just that.
