![]() I used to love the all-night cafe at Red Lodge. Excellent home-cooked food. Then it changed hands & we paid a visit on the way to Norwich & my favourite cottage pie was replaced by a plateful of ready made bright orange slop that l couldn't bring myself to eat.
Haven't been back since & not only because it's not open 24/7 now.

![]() I have family in Newmarket and often attend the Red Lodge Cafe for a great breakfast. The 1940's decor brings back some memories.

![]() Par for the course. Move next to an operating business you don't like that has existed for years & immediately attempt to close it down.

![]() That and drivers not using the cafes anymore not making it viable, my personal favourite cafe The Gatwick on the A17 nr Heckington is up for sale. Probably won't be kept at the same level of cleanliness or value (cup of tea 70p decent full English £5) with the new owner. On the bright side it might reduce my waistline a few inches.

The Gatwick is set back from the road in a large layby easy to miss I would imagine. |
