SURREY - BAR & COCKTAIL LOUNGE

A well-known wine and cocktail lounge benefiting from a prime position opposite a busy commuter station.

Camouflage is located in the affluent Surrey commuter village of West Byfleet. Forming part of the contiguous development centred on London and its 'stockbroker belt' just outside the M25 motorway, the village is 18 miles from London Heathrow and equidistant between the business parks of Woking and Brooklands. West Byfleet boasts all major amenities and is home to a number of national retailers.

The village lies a stones' throw from the M25 at junctions 10 and 11, and sits just north of the major A3 trunk road connecting the area to the south coast at Portsmouth. West Byfleet is an excellent transport hub with convenient commuter train services with the South Western Main Line providing typically 4 trains per hour to London Waterloo and Clapham Junction and other destinations in various directions to the south-west including Woking, Guildford and Portsmouth. The area benefits from good local bus services, as well as being within 20 minutes of Heathrow Airport and 40 minutes of Gatwick Airport.

Camouflage occupies a ground floor A4 lock-up unit on Station Approach, opposite the station entrance. The unit measures approximately 857 sq ft, and has been fitted to a high standard throughout at great cost.

The business is well-known for its ability to cater for private parties and functions (averaging 4 bookings a month), as well as regular live music. More recently the business has also been operating as “Brunch”, a pop-up café serving food, light lunches and breakfast for takeaway.
