Whilst the museum was very good, the cafe was not. We arrived at the cafe just after 2.30. Food service stops at 2.00pm. And there was very little in the cold cabinets. Two packets of ham and tomato sandwiches but unfortunately I don’t eat ham! In the end my husband had one of these sandwiches and I made do with a scone. On the plus side the staff were very friendly.

Went as a group of friends who met in the 1970s due to a shared love of cars, so the exhibits were very interesting and nostalgic. The museum is easy to find, plenty of parking and the cars are well laid out with information boards by each one. Good cafe and toilet facilities.

We found the handheld interactive guides difficult to navigate, and one of ours wouldn't start and another wouldn't stop! Maybe it's just our age!

A lovely nostalgic activity, so many cars categorised by decade. A helpful audio headset provided lots of interesting information, staff helped me with this.

This was great! We hope to come back soon and may get a group together for a visit too. Plus, the cafe was very good, I recommend the steak pie!
