Anybody been here or fancy a meet here? Been to the Route 38 in Cornwall for a Japanese car meet which was good but mixed reviews on both - luck of the draw is definitely the general feel

Was formerly the Newcott Chef EX14 9ND but been taken over and dressed up as an American diner, complete with a Harley on the wall (naff). I've stopped here a few times over the years, but only twice since it's been the route 303. Depends on the time of year you go but it can get busy which can leave you a little disappointed with the service, or lack of it! Typically overpriced breakfast and NO black pudding.

There's a couple of places not too far from the 303 that are better value
Cara's Diner near Woodbury Salterton EX5 1EW is about 20 miles off the A303 from the old Newcott Chef on Brooklands Industrial estate and is well worth a visit
great breakfast, free WiFi and parking right outside. Lots of traffic free roads for exploring East Devon coastline as well.
Haldon Grill at the top of Telegraph Hill on the A380 (EX6 7XW) is definitely worth a visit, and because of it's location is within easy riding distance for the guy's in Cornwall as well

Was looking at posting something after easter, offering meet up from route 38 café , down to Lands End with anyone tagging along on route. I know we spoke briefly about killing a bit of time at LE, maybe Raven or Anonstarter could use some of their local knowledge?
