Title: New American style diner near Oxford
Post by: Manky Monkey on January 31, 2019, 10:21:42 PM
Apparently on the site of the old Little Chef, near Abingdon. Looks a lot more authentic than the usual "bubble gum" rock n roll themed diners. No doubt it'll be full of posers on Harleys in a week.

The only drawback is limited parking I'm told.

That looks much better than the Little Chef turned into a Diner that Rick I went to in Essex after an Essex Arena event. Apart from the diner look sign it was just a Little Chef!  :(  This one looks really something. I wonder it it will last though. The costs are usually high therefore high prices and once the novelty dies off a lot of these places just can't stay open. Let's hope this one does better, as they have definitely gone for an authentic look.  8)

Very limited parking apparently, which might have a big impact on it's success.

Room for two family sized cars, or one Electraglide then!! ;D...but to be even handed, sadly, I attended a family funeral last Friday, our worst snow day, and as the main act was a life long HD nut, 8 HD's turned up in very slippery conditions and at 0 degrees, to see him off, more hero than me..... :'( :'( :'(

How can a motel/diner have limited parking?  ???
Surely the definition of a motel is you park right outside your room. Or do you mean they can park but people just eating have limited space to park?

Sorry for your loss Morrag. Yes, that is dedication. Heavy bikes to drop. It's a wonder they could feel their legs (and other parts) in that temperature. Hopefully they didn't have to travel too far to see him off.
