Epping High Beech Tea Hut

Apol's if this has been covered in a different thread, but thought I'd spread the word. Anyone who rides Epping knows the little green no frills tea hut. Me and my roadie mates regularly get a tea or coffee there and seems alot of clubs use it as a start or stop off. Apparently, its under threat. Alot of people, including me, no-likey.

Anyone got further details of why?

There's a petition over on Change.org

Signed the petition. I'll share this in the Epping Forest rides thread.

Are you sure it's the right hut? The pic on the petition looks like the tea hut that motorbike riders use that is round the corner from the one used by cyclists. Still, if one is under threat they might both be.

You're right. It's this one

As opposed to this one.

Hmmm,

I got it it from my mate who accompanies me to said hut, will check......

just signed the petition.is tea nice there VVV?

Cheers for the link spindrift, I'll still support this guy, even if it is the wrong hut. Seems pretty crappy for the Commission to screw him as its been a family business for 80+ years. Could only be a matter of time before they try the same on the cyclists hut....

^^After riding up Mott St, the tea is f£cking lush!! Or maybe its the 6 sugars I put in as I pant for breath!

It's a better spot to stop on the way out of the smoke before going on into Essex. Climb up a bit towards High Beech, quick stop and snack at very cheap prices before heading onwards. the only other option I've found is the Costa in Epping, which quite frankly is crappy...
