About The Hill

The UK was – and is – one of the leading automotive cultures in the world so, when, the brand needed its first residence – there was nowhere else it could be. The Hill – our affectionate name for Houndshill House – became it, our first permanent home. Like other C&Ms The Hill is coffee house, a bar, a restaurant. It is also a small hotel, though above all else it is a place for people with a love of things that move – like stumbling into a living automotive museum where you never know what exhibit might turn up.


About Caffeine & Machine

Caffeine & Machine exists for people with a love of things that move. Comprised of Caffeine & Machine venues, the 313 Club membership proposition and apparel label Cult of Machine, the group is an established leader in UK automotive experiential leisure. Everything we do is powered by community, conversation, inclusion and adventure. We seek to break down barriers, encourage learning and discovery. Above all else we’re a brand where you feel surrounded by friends – those that you know and ones you haven’t even met yet – a place that feels like you’re right at home. These beliefs apply equally to our teams and customers.
