The Georgian, Coppa Club, Haslemere

Tucked along the leafy high street of Haslemere in the Surrey Hills, The Georgian by Coppa Club is the kind of all-day venue that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with anywhere else. Housed in a handsome Grade II-listed building — once the Georgian House Hotel — the space has been given a thoroughly considered makeover that honours its heritage without taking itself too seriously.

Inside, muted Georgian colour palettes sit alongside dark wood panelling, striking contemporary art pieces and the sort of plush, lived-in furnishings that make you want to cancel your afternoon plans. The ground floor is dog-friendly, the vibe is relaxed-but-polished, and whether you're in for a flat white and a laptop session or a long, indulgent dinner, the room has a way of making you feel entirely at home.

The food is the kind of crowd-pleasing, Mediterranean-leaning all-day menu that Coppa Club has built its loyal following on. Expect everything from peanut butter pancakes and St Ewe Cornish eggs at breakfast through to sourdough pizzas, hearty pastas and the legendary Coppa Burger come evening. Small plates are worth lingering over — think seared king prawns with garlic, lemon and chilli, or spice-roasted cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate — and the afternoon tea, served daily from 2pm to 5pm, is a proper affair with freshly baked scones, clotted cream and a selection of sandwiches that won't disappoint. The drinks list is equally well thought-out, with an inventive cocktail menu that includes low and no-alcohol options in partnership with Trip CBD and Crossip, for those who want something a little more considered in their glass.

The real showstopper, though, is the garden. Step outside and you'll find a terrace, a fire pit and three of Coppa Club's iconic glass igloos — the brand's most talked-about feature since their debut by London's Tower Bridge — where groups of up to eight can dine in their own private bubble, whatever the weather. For those wanting to make a proper night of it, there are 13 individually designed bedrooms upstairs, each one stylish and comfortable enough to justify the stay. With Haslemere station just a short walk away and the Surrey Hills on the doorstep, The Georgian makes a genuinely brilliant escape — and one that's very easy to extend.
