What a shame to see the Oakdene Cafe in Wrotham Heath is no longer. There are more new industrial units being built there.

First the lay-by was completely blocked off and now the cafe has gone. Seems someone was determined to stop the bikers having their fun on a Wednesday evening at all costs..

Wonder where they will go now? it became amazingly popular over the last few years and the bikers' antics did get a bit more extreme but it made a quiet fairly boring part of the area quite interesting....

I used to love the challenge of trying to order your breakfast without the old lady behind the counter being able to ask you just one more qustion:-
Full breakfast please, no tomatoes, beans, toast, coffee, no sugar. (yesss!!!)
Black or white coffee? -Aaaargh!!!

Next week:-
Full breakfast please, no tomatoes, beans, toast, white coffee, no sugar. (yesss!!!)
Do you want black pudding too? -Aaaargh!!!

Shame another proper café gone. Blackheath tea bar went a while ago. Most of the small traditional places are disappearing.

Not been there, always good to know decent roadside places. I'm often heading over Ashford area and on the way back stop off at Tony's on the a28 just before Bissdengreen turn off. Chicken salad wrap is amazing 👏

Haven't been there for years, but a shame to hear it's gone. Was a proper old school greasy spoon.

That is a shame.

I’m not someone who eats a fry up very often, but liked it there as it reminded me of all the 80’s old school roadway diners that have already gone.
