Blyton Park - food and garages
Discussion
Hello gents,
I'm off to Blyton at the end of the month for the first time and have a couple of ponce questions:
1) Is there a restaurant / somewhere for lunch (that isn't a burger van) on site?
2) There is no mention of garages etc. Do I take it that everyone is outside for the day and to plan accordingly?
It's a super cheap day so I'm not really bothered either way, just want to know whether to ask wifey to pack my sandwiches and rain coat or my wallet & sunglasses

Can get a lovely meal at the local pub in the village, called the Black Horse. If it's a Sunday then better to book a table. A y other day you should be okay. Other than that there is a chippie in Scotter or Kirton Lindsey. Weekday there is a sandwich shop/bakery in both both scotter and kirton as well.

Oh, there IS food there - hmm, good. Thanks.
Re fuel: I assume it's relatively close as I'll be happy if I get double figures out of my old sheissebox.
Nearest town is Gainsborough, which is 5 miles away, there is a McDonald's and KFC there now. Not sure about food at the track as I live in the area so that's how I know where's local. Re fuel: I assume it's relatively close as I'll be happy if I get double figures out of my old sheissebox.
Blyton Ice Cream parlour is famous for miles around ... they do ordinary meals too

There is an on site cafeteria. Decent food, for stuff like jacket potatoes, they ask if you order in the morning.
Food is fine.
Usually people Park either side of the access road (on site), big hanger IF it's hammering it down.
I take my own fuel, but understand you can get it fairly close.

One potential issue is there's nowhere particularly close to get 98/99 RON petrol unless the Tesco has begun selling it. You can get 97 in Gainsborough but I know some travel to the Shell garage in Retford for V-Power.
ETA: Didn't notice you were the OP, which car are you taking and what date? I often go down to watch for a bit if I know something interesting is going to be on track, rather than a myriad of Mazdas and 7evens..
