Shelsley Walsh Classic Nostalgia - Breakfast!

[MikeT66]

I am often amazed at the combined knowledge of PH members, so...

... Mrs.T66 and myself are travelling to Shelsley Walsh on the 16th July for the Classic Nostalgia. We went last year and had a fantastic time, but stopped with friends prior to attending - they are not in the country this time around. This year our aim is to get there early and make a full day of it. The problem? As we are travelling down from Manchester, it means stopping somewhere en-route for a decent breakfast. I've spent two weeks looking for somewhere that opens early (7.30-8.30am), preferably not the rather grim-looking Frankley Services in Birmingham. Our route would be to leave the M5 at Junction 5, and head over to Shelsley Walsh via Ombersley/Holt/Great Witley.

I'm not sure if breakfasts are available at the event, so a re-fuel on the way might be the plan. Does anyone have any ideas?

Breakfast is available at the Stratstone Resteraunt at Shelsley for about £7.50 for a cooked one, which is in the courtyard with the water mill by the paddock. I would advise getting there early as we are expecting a big crowd on both days. We have other kiosks etc where you will be able to pick up a coffee and bacon sandwich as well.

We will be instigating a new parking and ticketing system and hopefully this will see an end to, or at least greatly reduce the queuing time for entry.

For anyone interested

We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you for the information, Vocal Minority. We'll put off brekkie until we get to the event, in that case. Can I ask what time the Restaurant is open in the morning, if you have that info? Doesn't seem to mention it on the website.
Can't wait for the event - and we'll definitely be suitably dressed, whatever the weather!

Well I was tucking into breakfast at 8 am on Sunday, and there were others in before me.

Thank you - no doubt we'll see you there!

I've bought tickets and will be there Saturday so get the red carpet ready!

I've never been there before(although it's about 20 mins from me) so I'm hoping for a good day!

We had a brilliant time there last year, Andy - fantastic atmosphere, and fantastic crowd and fantastic organisation. I'm hoping that my Ford Puma gets into the classic car section this year, though.
