About Mettricks Guildhall

The space is full of character: tall industrial bones softened with warm light, leafy corners, and the low hum of conversation. It’s a place that feels alive - where mornings begin with the smell of freshly ground beans, afternoons drift by over brunch with friends, and evenings settle into unhurried conversations. On sunny days, the terrace is perfect for watching the city spill into our beautiful central parks. True to its setting, Guildhall has become a cultural hub, with local art on the walls, our commissioned Southampton sign outside, and even Paddington Bear keeping a watchful eye.

We take our craft seriously, serving speciality coffee roasted right here in Southampton and preparing it with care. But Guildhall has always been about more than what’s in the cup. It’s a meeting place for the city. Where families, friends, and locals gather, share stories, and feel part of something bigger.

Proudly independent and rooted in the city, Mettricks Guildhall is more than a café - it’s a space shaped by the people who fill it. Come in, make yourself at home, and be part of the story.
