So, I’ve been watching it being built over the last few years, and the work has been extensive, to say the least. It’s always been a good petrolhead venue, with the tasteful coffee van etc. A good friend of mine uses them for a lot of work, so I’ve been there a few times. Anyway, they are now fully open, and jeez, they’ve pulled out all the stops. I had no idea about the recording studio underneath, which is another level. It’s another great local venue for anyone with a sniff of fuel in their bones.

Driven past it loads but never really understood it.
Went a couple of times when they held car meets there in the field must be 5 years back now, then they held one that got out of hand and stopped them.
Was always confused whether it was open to everyone, or whether it was just a Mercedes dealership and workshop.
Looks more like a space to hire or go for lunch than somewhere that holds car themed meets and events, from looking on their website.

They do hold meets regularly. They have to be considered as some eejits do try and park inconsiderately on the main road.The beauty of the place is you can have a stand up coffee while you wait for an MOT, or book the venue for a wedding. Or anything in between..
