The Abbot, Redhill

I have to say after reading these comments I am shocked we are talking about the same pub. The staff and managemement I find really welcoming, taking the time to greet,chat and have a laugh with customers.

The drinks prices very reasonable. (Especially as O'neils doesnt even sell my fav tipple of Smirnoff Ice - How can a pub not sell Smirnoff Ice)

They have a karaoke on a Wednesday which is great fun so many good singers and everyone is up for a laugh - no trouble.

The weekends are very lively with different DJ's each night which is good, playing all types of music and there is always people up dancing and having a laugh.

Have rarely seen any trouble in there as the door staff are on the ball and quick to defuse any situatiuons and at the end of the day whats wrong with that, all pubs have trouble i was in the dog recently when the landlord got hit - whats that all about !!!!!! But then the Dog does have a reputation for being a violent locals pub.

Ive heard on the grapevice that there is a refurb plan in operation due to start in the New Year and that the gents toilets have just been completed as they were in desparate need (Shame the Sun cant take a leaf out of the Abbots book - their toilets are minging)

Definatly by far the best drinking place in town and being so close to Liquid not far to stumble at the end of the night !!!!!!!

I think you should all give it a break and another go - you never know you may actually enjoy yourselves !!!!!!
