Great news Caffeine and Machine are coming down south - Petersfield, Hampshire, opposite Loomies for those in the know ….

No opening date yet but one for a future Z meet up

Yes, I just read about that somewhere else.

It'll be great to have a venue like that down South!

Outstanding. Is Loomies the biker cafe / print shop on the A32?

Edit: it is

Some great driving around there too.

Not exactly close to me, but I do like that area and could be tempted by a forum meet up there

Damn that was going to be my business idea!
Looks like a very small car park ... presume they are buying up some of the adjoining farmland?

Plenty of room to expand by the looks of things. It’s a great location, but surprised they are setting up so close to Loomies, a well known moto cafe (mostly bikes).

I've been to that pub for a meet before, it fills up quickly and compared to the large overflow they have in the original Caffeine and Machine it I would say isn't anywhere near big enough so yes they would have to start concreting the adjoining grassland (assuming they are allowed to do that).

Not sure it really overlaps in any way with Loomies, bikers will still go there and this will make not a lot of difference. In fact we all walked to Loomies for snacks at the meet because the pub was expensive and took a while to serve up.

Many meets at this location, they also done a few Pistonhead meets there in the past, they used to open up the field.

The roads are brilliant round that way, although they've just added average speed cameras on the A32 back to Alton section.

Still often do this loop out in the coupe.
