Default The 8ball Diner - A12

Any one been there? It is on the northbound side of the A12 just outside Witham.
Only opened recently and is apparently quite good. They are marketing it as for car and bike enthusiasts and have car and bike meets taking place up there.

Could be a good place for a Scooby meet?

Went last thurs for a ford meet,nice size car park,my mate said the burgers were nice

The meet was a bit tame but was the 1st one but hopefully word will get around about the place and should be a good venue

Yes its north bound on a12 opposite a bp garage and has a van sales place just infront of it

It's quite local to me and I didnt know about it until today. My mate who's into drifting was up there last night and the owners were having him do doughnuts in the car park!

I think it has only been open since February and will take a bit of time for word to spread and as you say should be a good venue long as they can make it work.
