To avoid any clash with the camping meet the previous weekend I propose breakfast on the 12th November.

Some of us will now enjoy 2 Saturday breakfasts in November. :thumby:

Following high praise recommendation from Mick and Andy I paid a visit today to the Welcome Cafe at Hollands Nurseries, Twyford LE14 2HZ

This cafe is a few miles back towards Melton Mowbray on the same road (B6047) as the Alpaca Farm we visit and just after the turn off to Leicester via Queniborough.

Beware as travelling from Queniborough my sat-nav told me to turn right instead of left at the junction taking me on to the next farm so look out for the bright blue cafe signs approaching the entrance.

The new owner took over about six months ago and has expanded the business with a deli and shop. She also bakes the delicious cakes. :drool

I arrived too late to sample the breakfast that is served from 9 to 12. However, the sampled food was great and good value in price.

For information, this venue will be used by the classic vehicle group that used to meet at Ashby Folville.

After a successful trial their first meet will start on Sunday 16th October.

When Mick and I were last there we got talking to the owner who told us that on the 2nd Thursday each month they run a ladies bike night, apparently known as the "Curvy Bikers meet" All welcome, even those who ain't so curvy. Thanks for arranging Gerry, plan to be there.
 
I have rang the café this today to confirm our plans to visit on Saturday.

I was asked for numbers but stated I could not confirm.

However, if you are able to let me know if you are planning to attend I will update the cafe on Friday.

It was confirmed that the winter weekend breakfast deal is still operating:

Small breakfast with tea or coffee (instant or filter) £5

Large breakfast with tea or coffee (instant or filter) £7.50

Weather forecast looks to be dry. :thumby:

I will be in the car as I am travelling on to see family afterwards.

May be there - an excuse to get the bike out since winter is being so shy - is there a target time?
 
Planning on going to this one :D

@ andysdad - we usually meet from 9.00am :thumb
 
👍👍 two more coming from not_so_far_away Leicester. Looking forward to seeing you all, 😊
 
Thanks for the updates folks.

I have given the café an estimate of numbers attending.

See you all in the morning. :thumby:

Great turn out. Good to see some new faces too.

Nice to see Gerry looking so smart. Good work fella.
 
"Nice to see some new faces" - most kind!

Great to see UKGSers in reality, not via a keyboard.

Breakfast was excellent too!
