About

The Plucky Pheasant sits a little outside the town centre at Newlands Corner, but it absolutely deserves a place in a Guildford cafés list because it is such a popular brunch and coffee stop for walkers, cyclists and weekend drivers. The setting does a lot of the work, with a countryside feel that makes breakfast or coffee feel more like an outing.\n\nInside, it has the bustle you would hope for from a destination café, and the menu is broad enough to suit pastries, coffee, brunch or a lighter lunch. It is especially good when you want somewhere easy after a Surrey Hills walk.\n\nFor scenic brunches and coffee with fresh air attached, it is one of the strongest options around Guildford.
