I have received news that the Hartlebury Trader Cafe has ceased trading from a good hearted member of RRPCC. This was confirmed by the estate manager. However, a potential new leaseholder has been identified and the venue may reopen later this year.
For years it has been a popular weekday venue for cyclists seeking a greasy fry up. However there are nearby alternatives at Whitlenge and Cutnall Green tea rooms.
This will clearly affect the Sunrise & Snowdrop Express audaxes which both started from the Trader. I am currently in the process of securing an alternative venue very close-by. Entrants will be notified as soon as this information is confirmed and a notice will be placed on the Beacon RCC website.
