This has been recommended by a colleague ...

Anyone had any experience?

That's got to be worth a run out one evening, it's not far, just the other side of Burton.

Can we all fit in the back of 53Cs truck?

Is that a hint of sarcasm I detect?

I know where it is, and the buildings surrounding it are, well, anyhow.
But I've heard it's good inside and the carpark is now tarmac and fenced off. I drive past it on a regular basis so I'll do a recce if you like.
It's only open 5pm while 9pm so Sunday might be an option.

It's in Albert Village, really.

I've been there a few times - last week for the VW split screen van meeting & earlier this year for a photo shoot with the truck. I agree the location isn't perfect but it's great inside and the food is good too.

I think if it was winter and we were inside it might be ok, but in the summer when we are outside most of the time I don't think the carpark is big enough or nice enough. If we have a meet there I'll go, but I'd fall short of recommending it.

I used this diner as a location for a photoshoot for 'Classic American' two years ago. It had just opened then. I never ate there so can't comment on the food. The couple I was with said the prices were quite high. It's typical diner food. I'd love to have a run out there one evening. Would make a pleasant change I think. The owners were pleasant but the car park is a bit small. Having said that it is slap bang in the middle of an industrial estate so there is plenty of off-site parking.

Took my two boys a couple of months ago, really nice food, big portions. The milkshakes are fab. However, £40 for three, and a very small car park.
