The Ivy Castle View brings relaxed, sophisticated all-day dining to the heart of Guildford. From modern British classics to Asian-inspired cuisine and fantastic vegan and vegetarian dishes, you’ll find something for everyone to love.
Set over two floors, the restaurant has space for private dining plus a Parisian-style terrace, offering a tranquil outdoor escape with views across Guildford Castle. It’s a beautiful spot for tourists, day-trippers and locals alike to relax and enjoy wonderful food in the warmer months.

The main dining space also offers a haven from the everyday bustle, with bronze pendant lighting and a mixture of burnt orange leather and velvet banquettes, so you can relax in style. Whether you’re booking for breakfast, brunch, dinner or lunch, holding a business meeting or just shooting the breeze with friends, it’s the ideal destination.
We don’t do everything by the book however. We understand the joy of grabbing the moment and seizing the day, so we always keep a number of tables unreserved for those spur-of-the-moment walk-ins.
