BorniteIdentity Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Inspired by @Angrydickymusing about the excellent Anglia Motel in Spalding - I realised this would be the perfect place for a tyre kicking and a plate of cholesterol. After all, it is classic Autoshite territory. The reviews include "terrible", "awful customer service" and other appealing vocabulary. It's also got a flat roof... Should we say a Sunday towards the end of October? I know some people SORN at that time anyway, so it'd be a good way of using up the last of the petrol (if you can still get any by then). Anyone keen? Shite Ron, HMC, wuvvum and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 That seems like exactly my sort of place, alas it's several hundred miles away so not in the slightest practical. DeanH and tooSavvy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Just how weird are you lot? It's not too far from me, but I'd have to come in the relatively modern Octavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 That's not far from me. Just outside Holbeach on th A17. Yeah I could go for a meatup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shite Ron Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 It is 228 miles and 4 1/4 hours on a good day ( each way ), looks a great venue though. Very unlikely I could get there but would it be acceptable to turn up in a new modern Mercedes from 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Definitely up for this, providing the dates work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobloseven Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Might well be interested if er'indoors hasn't got a caravan trip planned. Be a nice run from Leicester in the Renault 25. Assuming that'd be an acceptable conveyance to turn up in. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I think the reviews for this place are very unfair. Yes, the girl serving behind the counter was quite surly. She was fit, though, so I wasn’t too fussed. The owner is an old bloke who is really into his military history. Lovely bloke and very friendly. There’s a little jumble sale by the door with all proceeds going to charity. My food has been good and reasonably priced, all the times I’ve been there. A lot of negative reviews come from the fact that they don’t people other than actual customers use their toilets. I think that’s fair enough really and to be fair there’s a massive sign by the door stating the same. The decor is something else. I think there’s three different types of artex in there for a start! There is an equally dated looking bar/function room adjoining the cafe, but I don’t get the impression that gets much use!

Mally Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 There are 2 Cafes opposite each other, family argument years ago.

Never tried the other one, i think anything would be a disappointment after the AM. Interesting to read about the history of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I was planning to show my face at this one, but my fair wife informs me that I've previously signed up for something far more* interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 If newbies in modern* conveyances are welcome, then I think the 30th should be OK. Obviously, I may be informed otherwise nearer the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I do have work in the morning but should be able to get there for about 1 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobloseven Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Just realised 30th is a Saturday. Should be OK to come over if others are up for it. We're away in the caravan this weekend and er'indoors has her choir on the 30th so nothing else planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
