Cumbria/Lakes PH'ers: The Filling Station Cafe - Keswick
Discussion
No affiliation at all to the place or anything like that, don't even know who runs it! Just thought I would throw this out here in case it is of interest to any PH'ers looking for a meet in Cumbria.
The Filling Station Diner/Cafe opened up about a year ago and had been building a really good car and bike friendly reputation since.
Meets for both cars and bikes have started happening there now, at weekends there is often a meet of some kind happening.
Best way to find out about what's going on or when meets are seems to be to 'Like' their Facebook page as they update it every few days with details of meetings etc: https://www.facebook.com/TheFillingStationCafe

Few cool cars there this morning at about 10am despite the freezing winter weather!

Yup- that was us - I organised a little run out to the lakes for some Audi RS owners and brought the new B8 RS4 along for a blast. Some twitter acquaintances came along for the run - Julian in the 308, Ollie in the MX-5, and Michelle in the MG-A.
We had a great day and came back here for lunch.
Can't recommend The Filling Station enough. Not only is the atmosphere and food excellent, they're able to suggest some good roads if you're not local.
I was there by chance with a mate in our Clio 172 track car because all our other vehicles are hiding in garages away from the salt! We had a great day and came back here for lunch.

If you know of any other meets taking place there would you be kind enough to post them up in this thread in case any other PH'ers fancy it?
The owners did plan on running petrolhead type evenings during the summer... but have unfortunately been kept waiting quite a while so far in their application to the council for being open in the evenings.
It seems they are reluctant to allow a cafe to open later despite the site having previously been a petrol station that was open very late most days of the week.
Good old local council!

Something very amusing from the cafe that appears to be going viral!
