Shakespeare and Co

Shakespeare and Co is a café and deli on Barnett Wood Lane in Ashtead, the residential road that runs between the village centre and the Leatherhead boundary. The literary name signals an independent, cultivated character — sandwiches, light meals and coffees rather than a restaurant menu — serving the surrounding residential area in what is primarily a daytime and café-hours operation. Barnett Wood Lane is a quiet residential approach in KT21, and Shakespeare and Co functions as a neighbourhood café for the surrounding Ashtead community rather than an evening destination.
