Is this a permanent business like caffeine and machine with a gift shop, bar, restaurant etc or is it just a cars and coffee type meet held at this venue?

Pottery business with a small cafe on site, as far as I know. Turned into a cars and coffee type venue as the owner is a bit of a Porsche enthusiast as far as I remember

2 lovely R8's amongst a plethora of stuff. Really good turn out, can see getting even bigger as we get into Spring / Summer. Good chat and a lovely location

100% the best cars & coffee location we have here so far.
Looks a bit less like a bunch of 50 year olds with their Porsches this time round.
It was too cold for all the old boys to come out

That would still be preferable to the diesel VW and track suit chav brigade, or boot cut jeans and brown shoes inbred brigade.

Surely if it's 'NI's version of Caffeine & Machine', the 'all are welcome, as long as you behave' aspect comes through from C&M too?
Must say, it looks like a lovely setting, would be tempted to take a run up to one. But all of my cars have some degree of modifications so possibly verboten

I've only managed to get up once, but there was definitely a mix of cars and folks when I was there. and no one acting the ****, and detintely weren't any diesels.
I've been to C&M a couple of times, really unique place. Hard to replicate especially here. They have all year round events, which are always sold out.
The setting, and on site facilities are a big part of C&M but they just seem to be able to create the perfect car meet.

Good to hear.
Yea, since it opened I call into C&M a couple of times a year. I love that it doesn't matter what you drive at it, be it really cheap or really expensive (or even a diesel), as long as you're actually an enthusiast.
Blackheath really isn’t a C&M venue. It’s a small coffee shop attached to a small pottery business at the owners house. It happens to be a nice old country house in quaint grounds but they really aren’t set up or are aiming to attract the car fraternity in mass.
Got to be a market for a C&M venue over here although keeping it under control would be a nightmare

I think that is the only reason one hasn't been set up here, there are a few similar places opening up in other parts of England now.

I’ve been to C&M a couple of times, and honestly never seen anyone dicking about.
They have a zero tolerance policy, you don’t get a second chance to be a knob. Band forever, that’s how they assure the right people attend and the wrong people don’t.
