Loomies Last Weekend
Discussion
Greetings all,
I'm sure there are many that know and love Loomies on the A272/A32 junction down in Hampshire - a great biking venue for many years!
The sad news is that the family that run it are throwing in the towel on the business, and this weekend is their last - if you happen to be passing, drop in to see them for a final farewell…

Well… we went down this morning and it was absolutely heaving! But with a stage set up and screens saying "announcement at 2pm" I don't think anyone is surprised to hear that looms isn't closing, but changing owners!..

[quote=rich_b]Went down at lunchtime and there were loads of people there. Heard 2pm annoucement - reopens on Tuesday next week, with the new owners. Still a biker cafe and they're keeping the name.
I missed that, I left about Midday. Good to hear it reopens, was wondering where to go next summer on a Wednesday evening!
There were a fair few bikes that turned up today!

So, nice weather, couple of errands to run and Loomies is en route so here I am having a burger and chips in the new Loomies.
Not much to say really. They've had a bit of a tidy up (the old notice board has been cleared) and rearranged the furniture a bit - think they might need to strip out one lane of tables because at the moment the chair backs are virtually touching.
Menu is much the same. It's busier now than I ever saw it previously on a weekday though (but then again there is a Honda Beard Appreciation meet going on) and the staff still seem a little rabbit-in-headlights but overall it's good to see it still open.
Could be good I reckon and might even take on board some of the previous feedback.
(PS I do wish they'd put the heating on - fecking freezing in here)
