Soooooooooooooooorry. Hate FB and don't understand it.


It is with great regret that the due to growing Police & Community pressures, The Hunters Lodge Inn will no longer be running the weekly Thursday night Bikers night during the summer months. This event has been running for over 20 years and has amassed a huge following over that time. We would like to thank each and every one of you for your attendance and your patronage. This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, but feel this is the correct time to make this change. These nights have been a fun and exciting part of our summer but we need to concentrate on our core restaurant business which continues to grow from strength to strength. Yours regretfully. The Hunters Lodge Inn.

Such a shame.
I used to go there about 10 years ago. Always well attended but the cops used to park about 500m each way up the road from the pub Waiting for idiots to show their colours.

They weren't usually disappointed.

A shame that, was a regular a while back, though my ride had to take in Yeovil and Marston or Sherborne to avoid the straight and mundane A303. Used to be a regular.
Variation of topic, I popped into The Red House, Yeovil last week. Landlord said they're holding regular bike nights for the summer. Good excuse to refresh following an after work ride to the seaside!

Is that the one at the top of hendford hill?

Nah, A bit further south. Roundabout on the A37.

Addendum...



I would just like to elaborate on our decision to finish the Hunters Lodge bike night. This is not because we are anti-biker. we have never been anti-biker and never will be. unfortunately out bike night has actually been in decline over the past few years where-as our normal trade has grown hugely to the point where we struggled to do both last year. on top of that we received a growing number of complaints from the local community in regards to excessive noise and speed. it is for these reasons that we made this really difficult decision. we still welcome bikes but want to reduce the impact of such a large volume in one go. I hope this clears things up and hope for your understanding. #

Just down past the showground?

1st. big roundabout south of Yeovil. Opposite rugby ground (E.Coker(ish)).

Just down past the showground?

Yes

Aha ! That's a showground ??? Thought it was all rugby club.

I assumed Biili was referring to Sheppun Malle'......Have slapped my own wrist.

Hi, just catching up on this thread guys, sorry if it has been hijacked with info of other venues, Hunters was always a good ride but the off camber entrance has seen many a bike topple as I've seen a few riders loose their balance waiting to exit
Anyway, just had the missus' s big birthday party last night at The Red House. (A37 adjacent to the Rugby club / Showground, and on the way to Weymouth ) Cracking venue, excellent private spacious events hall, ample parking, great food and Thatchers on tap Andy the Landlord couldn't do enough for us running up to and during our evening. Great quick staff too. He said they're starting Tuesday Bike Nights from April for your info.
No tie with them, just honest experience. Cheers, Wayno
