Cafe at the Marks Tey junction of A12
Discussion
Anybody been to this new Cafe/diner at the A12 Junction off towards Marks Tey near Colchester?
It has recently been taken over and refurbished and there was an evening where it was full off mopeds and last week full of VW Camper vans.
Plenty of parking outside and next to the Shell garage.

That'll be the old "bungalow" location. Nah haven't been in there since the take over although could leave for work early one day. 
Last time I was there there were two transport cafes next to each other, I've just looked on google maps and one is now a hand car wash and there's new houses opposite. Don't things change in 30 years.
That would be the Bungalow Diner. Went there a couple of weeks back on a Thursday evening, quite busy and the food was surprisingly good!

Maybe one of the usual organisers can check it out as a future venue for a PH Essex meet....
Always worth 1 tryout ....no?

How about a breakfast gathering at The Food Company?Always worth 1 tryout ....no?

Eggs Benedict, Columbian Coffee and I would happily create a drivers route around Abberton, Wigborough, Salcott, Goldhanger, Heybridge, Totham, Tiptree, Messing, Easthorpe, Copford and Marks Tey.
Just a thought.

Right, first of all breakfast was as good as ever this morning, Eggs Benedict and copious amounts of fresh coffee. Nice.
As for a breakfast meet, the restaurant manager is happy for it to happen, the customer care manager has my email address and will forward me a complete menu (inc veggie Brad) so we can pre-order our food which will help the restaurant out. They will hold a section of the seating area for us should the numbers be high enough too.
It can be done on a Saturday or Sunday morning so we should be able to come up with a good turnout.
For those who require it, Shell have a garage next to the venue so V-Power is on tap.
