Fuller's buys Reigate pub

London-based pub company Fuller Smith & Turner has bought the Market hotel, a pub in the centre of Reigate, Surrey.

The Market will be Fuller's first pub in Reigate and takes the Fuller's estate to 367 sites.

Jonathon Swaine, managing director of Fuller's Inns, said: "The Market hotel is a grand old pub in a commanding position on the High Street in Reigate. It is right at the centre of the town and I am really looking forward to bringing the Fuller's ethos to the business and showing Reigate what a good, traditional British pub is all about.

"We will be making only small behind-the-scenes changes in the short term to bring the pub up to Fuller's standards. However, there are some exciting plans in development for later in the year, including introducing a breakfast offer and making some significant changes to the pub garden, a feature which makes the pub stand out from the competition in the centre of Reigate. Watch this space."
