The Guild’s Enchanting Spaces
Spanning a vast 17,000 square feet, The Guild seamlessly weaves together five captivating spaces: The Nurseries, The Potting Shed, The Rockpool, The Salon, and The Aviary. Additionally, they also have a few cosy nooks, including a pastry boutique, a bubbly room, a Cuban roll lounge, and a charming chocolate decorating salon.
The Nurseries: A Green Oasis
Start your day in The Nurseries, a Café Boheme-inspired haven adorned with potted plants and fairy lights, reminiscent of the charming streets of New York’s Tribeca. Indulge in brasserie-style breakfasts, featuring freshly baked pastries, free-range egg delights, and delectable Viennoiseries. As the day unfolds, savour an exquisite lunch menu that boasts confit duck leg, steak frites, lobster linguini, and crispy duck fat fries paired with spiced vue de monde ketchup. And don’t forget to savour The Guild’s own home-roasted coffee.

The Potting Shed: An Intimate Retreat
Adjacent to The Nurseries, The Potting Shed invites you to a sunken lounge, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. With its greenhouse ambiance, it exudes an earthy charm, housing a small corner bar for pre-dinner drinks. As the day turns into evening, savour light pastries and elevated canapés amidst lush greenery, draped ceilings, red velvet couches, and rich timber frames.
The Salon: Theatre Of Culinary Artistry
At the heart of The Guild, The Salon is where culinary magic unfolds. Diners can watch chefs work their craft over a live fire using wood and charcoal, akin to sitting by an enormous fireplace. The warm lighting and light brown parquet floors add a touch of old-school elegance. For a front-row seat to the culinary spectacle, choose one of the two chefs’ tables. Be prepared for a dash of drama as you dine in The Salon.

The Rock Pool: A Seafood Paradise (Coming Soon)
Step into The Rock Pool, where seafood takes centre stage. A genuine rock pool, teeming with live seafood like lobster, abalone, king crab, and sea urchin, awaits your palate. Tables surround this aquatic spectacle, complemented by an oyster bar for live shucking. The adjoining bar and a private dining room offer an intimate dining experience for up to 16 guests.
The Aviary: A Bird-Themed Escape (Coming Soon)
The Aviary, tucked away at the rear, beckons with its avian charm. Adorned with striking chandeliers and a grand piano at its heart, it’s a place where you can expect to groove to the beats of a DJ and perch on high bar stools. Draw the curtains for an intimate vibe, and don’t miss the malt-based beverage stand, ideal for private events.
