As in title my wife has sorted a factory tour for me, nevered owned a Morgan but i do have a few Lotus so do like the whole british sportscar scene.

Anyway is there anywhere recommended for lunch nearby? Will be coming from Derbyshire area and would prefer for less than £25 each.

Promise to post photos of the tour, and thanks for taking the time to read.

There is a cafe on site, but also lots of local pubs not too far away that do go pub grub, can't suggest any in particular but have heard lots of visitors who go for meals beforehand. I'd suggest actually heading into malvern town centre itself, lots of restaurants within a small space so you can find something you like the look of

Brilliant thanks for that didnt realise it was so close to the town centre. Deliberately not looked at too much regarding the tour so as not to spoil any surprises.

Im kind of hoping that this may lead to the okay to get one, as she hates the lotus's with a passion but liked the idea of a tvr griffith many years ago, or maybe im just being unrealistic!

I took the kids on the tour a few years ago, having seen " how do they make xyz" shows on discovery etc they were amazed to see blokes making cars with spanners and hammers and tin snips.

Yes i am looking forward to it, havent made the Lotus factory tour yet despite an invite from Stratstone when they had a dealership in Leicester as was away on the date and an invite to MINI as we have a couple of those too so this will be my first factory tour and suspect it will be very hands on even in comparison to Lotus.

I think its this Thursday were going either that or Friday so not long now at all!

The Swan Inn at Newland is highly recommended:

It is a great tour. I took my daughter who is called Morgan on it a few years ago. She was fascinated and when they discovered her name they included her to demonstrate different things around the factory and was given offcuts off the wooden frame and leather.
