For some reason Google has always said The Engine Room is closed. They aren't.

P.S. There will absolutely be no riding down awful back lanes more suitable for one of the off road guys adventures...



...we have the t-shirts :roll:

I'm popping out on the Busa tomorrow afternoon. Will check Engine Room. If they actually have closed down the Boscastle Farm shop is near for the second coffee stop....or maybe the Coombe Barton Inn at Crackington Haven.

As for the t-shirts Phil I'd rather noone else has to go through the pergatory of qualifying like wot we've done recently :mrgreen:

An alternative is the Homeleigh Garden Centre cafe on the A388 at Launceston. It's right on your route.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hom ... ?entry=ttu

Engine Room is actually closed again. At least the last lot kept it going for two years. We did stop at Homeleigh t'other week, t'is good enough for our second stop. If the weather is scorchio I'd prefer sitting outside at the Boscastle Farm Shop.
