[8 BALL DINER]

Hi all,

NICE forum!

Just a short note to let you know about an exciting new diner in Essex that is run by three dyed-in-the-wool petrolheads.

http://www.8balldiner.com/

or Facebook: http://www.facebook....alldiner?v=wall

The 8 Ball Diner has been created with the vision of providing the best facility in the UK for any car or bike enthusiast club or group. The Diner reflects its owners’ passions for cars and bikes both new and old, 50s lifestyle, Bikes, Drags, Vintage and Kustom Kulture - but our ‘take’ on this still manages to offer the style and comfort of a truly 21st century restaurant and bar. We care about our food, our customers, and our facilities, in a way that ‘franchised’ or ‘corporate’ bar/restaurants just cannot. We are currently building a calendar of events for 2011 and onwards, with clubs ‘hosting’ a regular night, breakfast meet, or day meeting at the 8 Ball. Each night will still be open to all owners and enthusiasts, whether or not they are members of the host club. Some of our core events will be hosted by specialist magazines or internet forums, but again open to everyone.

We would love to see some local Mini Clubs getting involved and maybe we can organise a 'Mini Mania' night once a month.

We really would like to see you guys there. Please get in touch if we can help your club in any way.

This is not 'spam' - we're just offering members a place (FOC) to hold meetings.

Regards,

8 BALL DINER

It is to far for my club to go regular but it does look good for a special Event for us like a Run to a Mini Mania night

I would take part in a meet here. Even if it was a general TMF one, rather than a club one

What if we held a generic 'Mini Mania' night? Open to all Mini owners and clubs?

[luvlygal]

Sounds fab to me. Make sure it's well advertised and hopefully, it'll be a big hit

I just so happen to have been pointed towards the 8 Ball Diner earlier tonight via another forum, looks brilliant, it's a trek from us (nearly 2 hours) but we'll hopefully be heading over for the retro rides night in a couple of weeks

Sounds good, i'll have to pop down on the cruise night at the end of the month, as its only down the road for me really, and take a looksee, i must admit the menu looks good!!

I popped in to have look the other night. I must say that the place looks great and should be a BIG hit with everyone.

10 mini's from Southend Mini Action Group went last night. Disappointing turn out of classic minis otherwise, maybe because of the weather. Not a lot on the menu due to a busy night on Friday but those of that did eat the burgers, fish and chips, enjoyed them. Nice place though and the owner very friendly. Got there about 5.45 and stayed for about 3 hours.
