America in the middle of Shrewsbury

At Fast Trak EDT, we are all bikers and we have all asked the same question over the years. Every weekend, every ride out, every tour, even every training day. The very same question. Where shall we go to eat?

And then we had an epiphany.

“Let’s build our own biker’s café” someone suggested. But not a half hearted bacon buttie van at the side of the road. Apart from training, what do we do best? We go on holiday. We tour Europe and we tour America. And if the Americans do one thing better than us – although that’s debateable – they build roadside diners. So that’s what we did. An American Style Route 66 Diner, complete with a Model T Ford, a Juke Box, ice Cream and Milk Shakes and a bullshit corner. In fact a copy of one we regularly visit in Williams, Arizona.

And this is the menu: But please note that our food is sourced locally as much as possible and will always be subject to availability, except our coffee which is sourced from San Francisco. (Well it is an American Diner, after all). Our hot meals – cooked while you wait – our cakes baked by our wives and girlfriends, and our cold snacks, are lovingly prepared by our wildly enthusiastic chefs.

Every day we have a specials board which can vary from Indian street foods, to fish and chips but here is the main menu.

So, from an all day breakfast to a smoked salmon toastie, or a slice of home made chocolate cake washed down with steaming San Francisco coffee, followed by a chilled vanilla milk shake, we have it all.

Our premises were given the top 5 star grade in food hygiene by the local authority environmental health department, and we all hold our own personal Food Hygiene certificates. Add that to the fact that our senior chefs have attended training courses at some of the most prestigious (and expensive)  cookery schools in the UK, including the Rick Stein Cookery School in Cornwall.

So next time you ask the question “Where shall we go?” Here is the answer. Fast Trak in Shrewsbury. You won’t be disappointed.

In the fullness of time we will be hosting evening sessions in the Diner. We are not, nor will we be a “biker’s café”. We are a training and touring company which just happens to have a biker friendly diner. The evening sessions will be social events. On our upper floor we have a sports and social area with table tennis, table soccer, darts, air hockey etc and an area where we can host a live band. We already have the drums, keyboards and guitars now we just need someone who can play them and sing.

During the evening sessions we will concentrate on feeding you. We intend to have – for example – a chicken in the basket night, a scampi and chips night and an Indian Street Food night.
