Cafe & Licenced Bar

Garrards London is unlike any other consulting business.  Over the past 20 years, we did not just focus on retail, additionally Hospitality was a desire.  We love people and never wanted them to leave our establishment, so Garrards expanded its services with Hospitality, launching Café’s and fully Licensed Bar, hosting luncheons, afternoon teas, organising and hosting grand functions for over 200 guests.

We did not just design and build the Garrards Café & Fully Licensed Bar’s, but went through all the processes of obtaining full liquor licensing permits, purchasing commercial machinery, safety and food handling, staffing and running it on a daily basis.
