V Café at the Institute

Our café – V Café at the Institute – has been run by Nick Humble since 2019. Joined by his friendly team, they offer a welcoming space to relax, have a coffee, and enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan lunches in our historic Assembly Room.

The regularly changing menu is based on seasonal, locally-sourced produce. Our vegetables are grown by The Halow Project and we also offer freshly-roasted Surrey Hills coffee.

We showcase local artists’ work with our free exhibitions in partnership with Guildford Arts in the Assembly Room, meaning the walls are always filled with fantastic art!

V Café welcomes any groups who are looking for a space to meet on weekday mornings.

Superb food and service, as always. By a mile the best place to eat at lunchtime in Guildford, and a lovely bit of quiet sanctuary!

Absolutely love it here! Such a cosy and relaxed environment. Love that the menu is always changing and offers a genuine variety for vegans and vegetarians.
