The Snooty Fox in Guildford

We found this little cafe and stopped for lunch. Amazing food and very friendly staff. Very good quality coffee and the food was excellent - I had the halloumi burger - it was delicious.

Our local cycling club will generally cycle and stop at a cafe for coffee and cake at the weekend so we are very familiar with lots of cafe's around Surrey and the surrey Hills.. We stopped at the Snooty Fox recently and once you have navigated the entrance and ordering process you then pay for your items. I had to look twice at the girl who said £9.10 for a cake and takeaway coffee..... I was in a state of shock and actually paid. We sat outside and eventually they bring the drink/s and cakes out to you.... The coffee cup was the smallest I have ever seen...... I thought it was an expresso cup!... All of the group could not believe the costs and said that we would not be coming back here again.... Do yourselves a favor and save lots of money and keep cycling :)

Nice place, but a bit overpriced.

Great coffee and very quick and friendly service. Got dropped off here by a friend to then catch a train from just around the country. Felt very welcomed by conter staff . Lovely simple Bacon sandwich freshly cooked. This place is immaculate! Great place for breakfast before getting on the train.

I stumbled across this little gem of a cafe whilst passing through Shalford. Initially my wife and I were just going to grab and go, but it looked so inviting we chose to eat in and enjoy a child free lunch. My wife went for the Halloumi burger and I opted for the steak ciabatta. Mine was gorgeous, a huge serving of tasty steak, fresh salad, complemented by giant homemade onion rings. Luckily I got to try some of my wife’s burger and the chutney and cheese combo was delicious. Cracking food, friendly staff all served in a lovely bistro style cafe at a good price. My only issue is we live 45 minutes 😜

Not a great experience. Stopped here for a spot of lunch. Had to Order at the counter, there's no table service... this is relevant to what I write below. Just 2 Coffees and 2 sandwiches came to 27 POUNDS!! Because they charge you an extra £3 per person to eat in!!! I am never going there again just because of that ridiculous overcharging to dine in!! Note they don't list their prices with the £3 included so you only discover that charge when you pay, not when you stand at the till. If the did the a normal sandwich costs near £10. The Food wasn't exceptional, which it should be for the prices... but it wasn't bad either. The breakfast sandwich of sausage, egg and bacon was nice. But it Effectively costs £9.60 per sandwich and coffee at £4 if you choose to dine in. Normally I'd tip but there wasn't anything in the budget to tip and the service and atmosphere were average at best. Sadly I wouldn't recommend this overpriced café. No I won't go back even though I'm fairly local and pass by frequently. and to be honest the location isn't great or picturesque so I now know I'm not missing out on anything worthwhile.

£3 per person extra, that’s £6 for two people just to eat inside. That made our sandwiches nearly £10 each respectively. We paid £27 for two sandwiches and 2 coffees. That is unacceptable considering the service and what you get. The breakfast sandwich was lovely but the tuna melt sandwich had cold slices of cheese in it. It wasn’t a tuna melt. We will not be back here again.

Good food. Friendly staff. A lot pricey but get what you pay for.

Lovely little spot in the sunshine (when it's out!).... Always a great breakfast to be had there!

Always a great spot to stop for a coffee, bite to eat or bigger meal. Friendliest team in Guildford. I love the fact that they don't try to rush you out the door if they aren't busy so I can finish what I working on. Very much recommended..

Lovely little place. Great food (had a coffee, toastie, brownie, milkshake over 2.5 hours). Nice staff, professional, polite. Sat outside and watched the world go by. Liked the pretty decor. Would recommend/ go again

Always nice to enjoy a bite and a coffee here!

What an amazing place! Well done, team! Will be back again!

Made our final visit to the Snooty Fox today after discovering they now charge a £3 per person (no minimum group size) service charge to eat/drink in! Our “service charge” equated to 25% of our total bill 😐, and to add insult to injury, the food was average, and the service was sullen. Avoid!

Rare to get a smile or friendly service.

Sadly after many enjoyable visits, I think today was our last. Too expensive for the experience. £46: (1) egg mayo sandwich, butternut soup, coffee (2) goulash soup, coffee, can of Diet Coke & a glass of Prosecco & a small piece of cake. Sat outside next to the road.

This is a hub of the community and also welcoming to all visitors, We love the freshness of the food and when in a rush the Bacon Sandwiches or if have longer to stay and have the dish of the day. We also like to pick up for picnics. Great for either relaxing with a wine or family time with Grandchildren

My wife and I were passing and thought we would stop by as it looked lovely from the outside. We walked in and were met with surly, rude middle aged lady that could barely look you in the eye and acknowledge you. We went to buy a sandwich and order two coffees and a young girl, said, "is that it"....I assume she learnt her customer service and socail skills rom the older lady and my wife and I decided that we would rather not have coffees and something to eat than pay to eat somewhere where we didn't feel welcome. Very disappointed.

There was work going on so not a peaceful cup of coffee ☕

Busy and friendly, very popular with locals. Limited parking

Popular cafe mid morning, especially with the older generation. Great breakfast menu, and especially liked that you could create your own cooked breakfast. You have to go to the counter to order, which isn’t my favourite, and I did get ignored a bit to start with, but think I may have been in the wrong place. However, overall our experience was good, especially once we tucked in.

Love this place, I'd prefer to go here than subway, seems fresher and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, happy to help, just a fantastic place

Rude staff, absolutely appalling behaviour. I went with a friend at 3:30pm, knowing the closing time (checked on the internet before going) is 5pm. They started shutting down as we sat outside. They got my order wrong and when I tried to speak to the waitress she purposefully ignored me and continued bringing tables in to close down, then rushed us at 4pm saying they were closing early because it was a quiet day. Not only they got the order wrong but they had zero costumer care, definitely a place to avoid.

Lovely little cafe. Had brunch after a Sunday walk. Seating outside for when the weather is good, plus indoor seating if not. Small cafe.

Great place very friendly and welcomes us cyclists. More vegan food would be amazing.

Seems very popular, was packed when I went on a Friday morning. Had a lovely flapjack and coffee. The service was odd though - stood at the counter on my own I was asked what I wanted. When I ordered, and then answered that it was to take away I was told I had to order at the till, literally 3m to my right. We both moved to the till and went through the process again. Bizarre!

Lovely little cafe, perfect for a catch up or meeting.

Expensive .. a standard breakfast with a coffee £17 ? How can they justify this price , not even mushrooms included ? Overpriced I’m afraid.

It’s massively over priced. There are better cafes and the prices are exorbitant! The food is fine. The sandwiches are average but £4 for middle of the road coffee is not acceptable. And they don’t take Amex. Avoid.

This cafe is pleasantly situated, it is spacious inside and has outside seating at the front and in the garden at the back. I met a group of friends here for lunch on a quiet weekday. There was still quite a queue, many people taking sandwiches away, presumably to surrounding offices. I suppose this explains the £3 extra added to lunches eaten on the premises, but it certainly was not a 'cheap eat'. Sandwiches appear to be freshly made to order, and with only 1 person making them, she definitely did not have time to waste!! However, we managed to sit comfortably in the garden under a large sunshade, and were quickly served by a very pleasant young lady. My toasted sandwich was delicious, as was the fresh orange juice. All of my friends enjoyed their meals. Very good, but this was a quiet Monday, wouldn't like to go on a busy day!

First time we had a fantastic brunch today. Fresh and delicious. The staff is very friendly . It way to early to try the Hungarian goulash but definetely come back shortly . Thank you so much 🙏🇭🇺

Bad experience. Service with a smile is obviously a alien concept. First and last visit greeted by very abrupt sandwich maker when we just asked how it all worked feels very cliquey. Food to expensive for dry cakes . Nice setting but think profit is the only thing that Interests owners.

Really great place but lots of staff for very slow service

I recently visited The Snooty Fox café in Shalford, Surrey, and had a fantastic experience. The café is known for its commitment to homemade and fresh food offerings, and my chorizo hash did not disappoint. The dish was made with generous proportions of homemade fillings and fresh bread, which made for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Nice quiet place with a very warm service. Almost always full

This is a lovely little cafe, always busy. The coffee and food are generally good quality and the staff polite. I do take issue with some of the pricing, it is quite expensive to eat in. Not sure how £3 extra a 60% increase is justified for a hot bacon sandwich when the VAT and most of the overheads are already baked into the cost of the takeout.

Good breakfast! Will def return

I’m always disappointed when I come here. Food and drink is hit and miss but when it’s bad it’s very bad.

Fortunately I did not eat in this afternoon, otherwise this poorly made sandwich with brie and cranberry would have cost me almost £8!!! As you can see from the photos, no real care taken in its preparation - I cannot understand how they get away with adding an extra £3 onto eat in food orders. We will be going to our local Bramley cafe from now on *Update*. This place is not wheelchair accessible - staff told me to use the exit door which is right next to a load of chairs and tables outside and a very small space Infront of the counter and till with no manoeuvre room to go inside and find a table. There is a ramp up to the door but if the place is super busy which it is most of the time , a wheelchair albeit a lightweight one like mine, would not be able to go inside. There needs to be a review of this to make the safe accessible for everyone

£4.25 for a single, dry welsh cake is outrageous and two of our 3 coffee cups were chipped. Coffee sizes also really small for the price. Wouldn’t go again and wouldn’t recommend.

Nice place, coffee was lovely. They did forget half my order and it wasn’t handled very well when I queried it. Nonetheless, the food was good.

Went on a recommendation. Not the cheapest but a pleasant place to be. Coffee and cake was nice, as we're the staff.

Well I obviously don’t hang out in the right coffee shops. Today was the first time I have spent over £4 for a coffee 😧 - it was tasty but that is not really justifiable, surely? The pain au chocolat was the biggest disappointment though - dry and expensive (probably from the day before). And despite 4 servers being behind the till, it took a minute or two before I was even acknowledged - and there were about 4 other punters inside. Maybe the name is apt. Nice toilets though.

I've stopped here a couple of times as it's convenient, each time I've felt it was a bit over priced, but this time it really did seem to take the biscuit. Two cups of tea, a croissant and a very small slice of cake was around £16! I had ham and cheese in the croissant, it was fine but it certainly wasn't anything special. It seemed that we were also charged around £1 per item extra for the privilege of eating inside..

I've visited quite a few times recently, while clearing a house in the village, and the quality of food and service has been consistently good every time - a welcome break on some quite challenging days. The cafe is very well staffed and always welcoming. The food is what you'd expect in a village cafe, but good quality and well presented. Very good coffee and pastries too.

Nice bacon rolls, good coffee and friendly staff.

See the photos, they say everything. The food was good and the internal decor was interesting and unusual. The photos show a very meaty sausage roll and a tasty ham and cheese croissant.

Excellent coronation chicken rolls and cuppa. Served quickly. Decent music.

Food good, service a little erratic (young team) waited 20mins for food and then had to remind them the. Wait another 5 mins for a toastie. That said friendly and good coffee

Went here for breakfast. Asked for a bacon roll with ketchup. This was a takeaway ordered so was wrapped up, made it down the road realised it had no sauce in it. This has happened a few times. Food isn't as good as they think it is and staff cleanly struggle to understand basic requests. Ended up throwing the dry bacon roll away. So be careful and check everything you order as they have probably got it wrong.

Drive past this so often. Decided to grab some breakfast and was blown away by the service. Loads of staff who go above and beyond to make sure you’re accommodated for. Definitely make sure you stop in! Perfect

Only complaint is everyone knows how good it is and keep it filled to the gunwales 😊

Every Sunday morning, I enjoy a cup of coffee and toasty or scrambled eggs. Everything tastes delicious and the staff is very, very friendly!

Delicious food, nice people, lovely place.

We were pleasantly surprised by the range of food on offer. The salmon tagliatelle was particularly delicious! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was good. Thanks you!

Beautiful location in a wonderful part of the world and it’s well furnished. Unfortunately it stops there. I’m always happy to pay a premium for good food but the quality of food at the snooty fox is well below par - which is a great shame due to the good points above. They are clearly margin driven as they’ve not just scrimped on procuring good produce but also haven’t invested in well trained staff - unfortunately most of which are young children just old enough to work; who the owners get away with paying minimum wage. This place has so must potential and would be easy to get it right but they’ve fallen short in so many ways.

Had the full English breakfast, which was very nice. Only 4 stars due to cost. Breakfast plus a cup of tea nearly £15. OK, you only get what you pay for, but still excessive.

Overpriced. Had this place saved for a while and visited recently whilst walking the dog in the area. Flat white was over £4, no sign of what the beans were they were using, but wasn’t even that nice. Worth noting most roasters or craft cafes are charging between £3.40-3.70 for good quality coffee. My full English although tasty again felt overpriced at £15, and again, no mention of the produce being local or sustainable or anything that would support such a price. Partner had porridge and a banana and that was £6. Say what you like, we’re in our thirties and spent the last 10 years in North London, yet both of us left here feeling marginally ripped off. Won’t go again.

To be fair it was very busy Sunday lunchtime so when i arrived on my first visit for a quiet coffee and catch up on jobs on my phone i was disappointed! ... anyway £3 extra on a four quid sandwich if you eat it inside is taking the p*ss. Luckily it was a sunny day and i sat on the park bench right outside and ate my delicious baguette

This friendly atmospheric café in the small village of Shalford has become the hub of social interaction. The food and drink are of highest quality. The sandwich fillings are the most varied I've come across in a café. The downloadable app makes preordering of orders a breeze. It has inside and outside seating, and an area in the back for large groups or gatherings.

Overpriced w/ no gluten free options served. £3 extra just to have your sandwich indoors.

Have loved this place for years, but £12.55 for a coffee and sandwich? Really? Getting greedy, possibly. Ps, table dirty, loos dirty etc. Oh dear

Ordered 2 takeaway iced coffees cost £8.40!!! Had to wait over 10 mins for it to be poured out of a ready made vat because only one member of staff was on drinks. I saw 2 other members of staff standing doing nothing! Very expensive and slow service. I will not go again.

Ordered iced coffee. Bearing in mind all is required to serve it is to put some ice in a cup and pour the pre made coffee. Two members of staff stood around doing nothing whilst waiting for the “guy who does the coffees” to do them, as if they were incapable of doing it themselves! Each coffee also costing 4 quid when they are quite small! If you’re going to serve overpriced coffee at least don’t leave your customers waiting 15 minutes to get it. Sandwiches here are also overpriced considering they skimp on the ingredients. The only reason they get away with it in my opinion is because there’s no other competition in Shalford. This place is highly overrated and I will not be spending money here again.

Stopped for coffee on the way home from cycling. Popular spot. Nice coffee

Very friendly staff, really nice sausage rolls

Grabbed a bacon sandwich, it was lovely.

Not cheap but well positioned as a pit-stop on a cycle ride 🚲

Had an early start and missed breakfast. Stopped here for a late breakfast/brunch. Ordered the Snotty big breakfast. Expensive but well worth it. Quantity and quality. The whole breakfast was very good but the eggs and sausages were outstanding. Atomosphere was great as well with a very diverse bunch of customers. This was a Monday morning. The queue at the weekend must be a mile long. If you are passing, stop and feast. You'll have to a long way to find better. Staff were excellent as well.

Very disappointing to support local business and be charged a whopping £4 for one chocolate chip cookie. Even the lovely waitrons could not improve my mood after that. Nice coffee but also over priced at £4, so we wont be supporting again.

Great place for breakfast and coffee. Hospitality and playful sarcasm all in the same place! Thank you.

What a find ? On my way back from Guildford and it caught my eye. A little gem I will use again

A little overpriced but very tasty and way above a " greasy spoon" cafe, so.... worth the extra charge.

Nice location, overlooking a green open space with cricket pitch, and good atmosphere inside. Food was fine - one of us had a toasted sandwich, another a BLT sandwich and staff were particularly helpful re one of our party who had special dietary requirements (cook did a poached egg salad, which was delicious). Air conditioning was a bonus, it being a warm day.

Well! What can I say?! Just brilliant! Absolutely fantastic burger ( with added bacon and cheese) not cheap but great quality and so very very tasty!! The bun was the best bun I’ve ever had a burger in! The patty was not shy ! Super succulent! The chips on the side were wonderful too! Although I think I could have eaten just a few more! ! Flat white was good ! The only issue was the parking! I guess it was just bad timing but we spent ten minutes driving around near by road’s looking for a space only to end up doubling back to find a space practically outside the place🙄! Really good ! Many thanks all at the Snooty Fox!

Good food. Our order was mixed up but it didn't affect our enjoyment of the visit.

I ordered a simple cheese ‘n ham and a black coffee. My sandwich was made with pride and ready in no time at all. While waiting to pay not a single person acknowledged my existence. And when they finally could be bothered to make my coffee I had had enough and said don’t bother. Left with the sandwich and bought a coffee elsewhere. Don’t know if I could recommend to be honest.

Eye-wateringly expensive. One very small Welsh Cake and a basic coffee £8 😲. Won't be going back anytime soon.

experienced their in the last couple of days my mix of prawn sandwich on granary was to die for. However not to be out done their home made sausage roll was even better. Service both times prompt and delightfully pleasant. A real treat!

Nice decor. Overpriced food for what you get. Consistently bad coffee. Some staff really friendly and helpful. Some quite the opposite.

I had an hour to kill yesterday morning so stopped here for a cuppa just after 8am. I ordered a tea and a cookie - nearly £8! I sat down in the back room and ft quite nauseous at what was the table next to me. The hand sanitiser had what looked like congealed food all over the bottle and a ketchup bottle which didn’t look particularly sanitary either! The cookie was lovely but nowhere near worth nearly £5!! I had another hour to kill the next morning at the same time so I decided I’d go again, but just for a cuppa. I sat in the same place, sanitiser bottle still in the same position and still covered in god knows what, but there was an addition this morning - someone’s chewed chewing gum was just sat on the table!!! This had clearly been there from yesterday as my visit was early again. These standards of hygiene, or lack of is not acceptable and makes me wonder what their kitchen hygiene is like!!!

Excellent coffee and lovely indoor area. However the outside seating area iinfront is unkempt and could do with a good sweep.

Friendly team delivering a great range of fresh meals. A good deli selection. Nice to have a bite to eat and watch the cricket on the green across the road.

Stopped here for some take away lunch and coffees It was very busy , if you want a table I suggest booking in advance Great selection of fillings for sandwiches which are made to order Great selection of cakes too We ordered two breakfast baguettes, they even had whole meal baguettes yum. The coffee is delicious We will be back to dine in next time

The price of coffee is insane.. EXPENSIVE COFFEE! £4.6 for a flavoured latte! £4.2 for regular latte! Pancake is good but everything is over price, but coffee is very very average and even below Guildford’s average. I will not be back again.

Over priced the food was cold the staff are very frosty & didn’t get what I asked for would never go there again!!!

First visit. Super impressed. Will definately be returning for a toastie. Great venue.

Random stop off while on a cycle. Excellent place and good coffee. Will be back.

Coffeé not the best, but location, staff and cake make it worth a visit each time. Thank you.

Great food, good service and a good location, in Shamley Green, on the outskirts of Guildford. Plenty of seats inside and out.

Brunch after a walk in from Guildford . Just what we needed , friendly service and awesome sausages!

great coffee ,sat outside in the sunshine great place

Extremely disappointing visit today over priced unfriendly staff will not be visiting again. I asked for hot water to warm my baby milk up and got charged 75p asked for small cup of milk for my toddler £1.60! Such a shame was amazing but will need to find another coffee shop to go with my children.

What a find! I popped in when I had to kill some time near Guildford. I had the Eggs Royale which was very well presented and very tasty. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly! The cafe is very well laid out, light and clean. Plenty of seating. Toilets were very respectable too. I can’t fault it. Thanks.

Lovely vibe at this cafe. Staff are helpful and coffee is great. Lots of choice on the menu and cafe has indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly too. Would say that vegan options needed on the menu please!

Young staff but always friendly. The halloumi burger is amazing! But the toilets not always super clean unfortunately.

Having lived in the area for several years, I have always driven past the Snooty Fox, but never visited. So, last weekend we made a special trip to visit and have breakfast. We stood in what we thought was a queue to get in, but we were quickly met by a member of staff who rudely shouted at us that we were standing at the wrong door. Taken aback by her abrupt manner and tone, another customer and ourselves promptly left to find somewhere else more welcoming. A real shame.

Cracking breakfast and great service

I stopped here for brunch and they have a lovely selection of sandwiches etc.Very friendly staff. I had hazelnut flat white + tomato mozzarella pesto on a seeded bap toasted. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Welcoming g to bikers
