A Unique Café & Cocktail Bar in the Heart of Guildford



A Unique Café & Cocktail Bar in the Heart of Guildford

 We’re excited to bring to market a standout hospitality business in one of Guildford’s busiest and most characterful areas. Sitting directly opposite the historic Guildford Castle, this café and cocktail bar is perfectly positioned to catch both high daytime footfall and the evening crowd — making it a rare opportunity for anyone looking to step straight into a profitable, well-established business.

A Place That Transforms With the Day


What makes this venue really special is the way it shifts with the rhythm of the day. Mornings are all about great coffee, relaxed café vibes, and a strong local following. Come evening, the lights dim, the music picks up, and the place takes on a completely different energy, cocktails, conversation, and a great atmosphere that brings people back again and again.

This isn’t just a coffee shop or just a bar, it’s both. And it works.

The Location Does the Work for You


You couldn’t ask for a better spot. Set in a pedestrianised area known for its food and drink scene, the venue benefits from steady footfall all day, every day. There’s a public car park close by, and the castle, just across the road, pulls in tourists year-round. It’s a location that does half the job for you.

Inside, the space is welcoming and stylish, with front-facing outdoor seating and a tucked-away decked terrace at the rear, ideal for hosting private events or just offering something a little different.

What You’re Getting

   •   Prime Town Centre Location – Right in Guildford’s hospitality hotspot

   •   Indoor & Outdoor Spaces – Includes a front terrace and rear decked seating area

   •   Well-Loved Brand – 4.6 Google rating and over 3,700 Instagram followers

   •   Fully Licensed – Daytime café, evening bar, events, and private hire all fully operational

   •   Turnkey Setup – Comes with all equipment and fittings, including coffee machine, ice machines, and furniture

   •   Built-in Revenue Streams – Coffee, cocktails, small plates, events, masterclasses, and private hire

   •   Real Scope to Grow – Expand the menu, push event bookings, or build on its brand presence


A Business That’s Already Working

This isn’t a ‘fixer-upper’. It’s a stylish, fully-functioning business with a strong reputation, a loyal customer base, and great online presence. The current owners have done the hard work, now it’s ready for someone new to take the reins and run with it.

It also has real untapped potential, particularly on the food and events side. There’s increasing demand for private hire and cocktail masterclasses, and plenty of room to explore new ideas under a brand that already has great foundations.


A Smart, Ready-to-Go Investment


Setting up something like this from scratch would cost well over £100,000. Here, everything’s in place — from the branding to the equipment — making it an ideal opportunity for a hospitality professional or an investor looking for a solid, stylish business in a high-traffic location.
