Like most businesses we are taking part in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
This means that during August, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is 50% off just about everything at the Guardhouse!!
That’s right – coffee, cake, hot food – and you don’t need to be eating to qualify. The only things we are not discounting are alcohol, ice…
Due to the Covid-19 limitations on social distancing we are still operating in an unusual way at the Guardhouse, with our focus being on keeping you and our staff safe whilst maintaining high standards of service and quality. In the last few weeks since my last update we’ve made a few changes. Our current systems are:

Following the July 4th “Independence Day” relaxations of the rules, we’re really excited to be taking some more steps towards being a normal cafe again. However we are taking the threat of Covid-19 seriously and have not quite got back to usual service yet, with no indoor seating available so far.
Perhaps we’re being overly cautious; but we’d prefer to open…
We are excited to be able to expand our offering from Saturday July 4th.
