Apparently the first picture of the bike in front of the building might get me told off, another Bobber owner has just messaged me to say he took a similar picture and then got a bking off somebody who works there (we had to cross the road to take the picture) and got threatened with a ban.
They’ve also been very firm on keeping pedestrians away from the main road. Only takes once pleb leaving like a tt and sliding into another pleb taking videos of it to become a massive ststorm.

Yeah I think that's fair enough. They need a site that isn't straight next to a fast road IMO

I understand what has been said, and understand the reason, there is however no signage at all on the building to say... dont take pictures here, maybe a few signs need to go up if they wish to enforce it.

It’s also quite a difficult place to pull out of safely, as the view is restricted, especially of traffic coming from the right.

I popped in today. It’s a decent place and I wish them luck.

Thought £55 for a printed T-shirt was a bit rich.

The quality of the clothes there is very, very good. I've bought things for the kids there in the past.

Ouch, that’s expensive.

I’ve had a few tees in the past when they were cheap. The quality wasn’t great and they were a slightly odd cut. I do like the sweats and hoodies though.

Yeah I’ve got a hoodie which is great. Also have a tee but as you say the fit is a bit odd and the fabric is very thin

I noticed the same. Hoodies and sweats were very high quality and T-shirts seemed like they'd been made by Kleenex

I didn’t actually pick one up, but the Ts didn’t look like the usual wafer thin offerings that shrink and twist with a machine wash. £55 is fairly punchy though.

I’ve been hearing they’ve been having staffing / food issues and people are beginning to grumble.

Anyone been lately? Trying to decide if I swing by again or wait until they’ve settled in more.

I’ve still not been, the current reviews / whisperings are enough for me not to bother at the moment; the hill is closer so I’d rather go there.

I’m heading over to the Ignition place this weekend though.

Reading the reviews it sounds to me like the paying to park thing is a mistake right now. It should be free for 12 months while they sort everything else out.

Quite possibly, I get it at the established original venue but maybe the not the new place.

Went past the old ignition site today. I had to double take, so spun around and stopped by.
Nothing to do with ignition cars and coffee by the way.
