Always a welcoming venue with good coffee assured!

German cars make up a mass population of the UK car community and for good reason, so on Saturday the 28th of October we will be hosting Deutsche Autotreffen to celebrate all German cars!
This is not a ‘show’ or an ‘event’, Re:Fuel is a venue with 5* locally-sourced food and drink that attracts automotive enthusiasts from all over the Southwest every weekend. There is, therefore, no admission or parking charge. Just click “Going” on our Facebook event to let us know if you’ll be visiting.
As always, everyone is welcome at Re:Fuel every weekend, no matter what you ride or drive! So even if you don’t drive a vehicle that suits this day’s theme, you’re more than welcome to join us for the day to admire all the lovely machines that have turned up to meet, eat, drink, hang out, relax and enjoy Re:Fuel.
