The aim was to honour the heritage of the building in the fit out, we wanted to restore as many of the original features as possible and the bones of the building are spectacular! At the same time, we felt it important to weave some modern elements into the design - things such as the retractable roof and lush beer garden.

Throughout the construction process we found a number of hidden gems that we knew needed to take pride and place in the new fit out. We peeled back layers of flooring to find the original terrazzo tiles, we restored beautiful old fire places and have showcased them in their original position on the first level. Blackened wood from the fire wraps the walls, an original belvedere supporting beam frames the level one cocktail bar, restored windows and original timber features atop the main ground level bar and some classic doors can be found in the beer garden.
One of the largest projects was the construction of the belvedere that crowns the building, it was crafted with painstaking attention to detail and is one of our favourite features.

We really want The Guildford Hotel to be a unique destination. We hope to bring visitors from afar into Guildford to experience all that our wonderful town has to offer – bars, restaurants, cafes, stores, historic sites and more. The people of Guildford are a huge part of this story and we were thrilled to see the locals embrace the new Guildford Hotel when we opened the doors.

We are a walk in style venue so no bookings are necessary. Our true passion lies behind the bar - there are 18 beers on tap and many more in the fridge, try a local wine, share a cocktail jug or order cocktails on tap which are proving to be a bit of a favourite so far! Our menu is deliberately casual and focused on sharing - chef has crafted the menu around dishes you can eat whilst sipping a cold one! We have three smokers on site, Thomas, Gordon and Percy, all run by our Pit Master, the selection of ‘smoked stuff’ is a must try.
