A cafe at a refurbished south Norfolk mill is to see the return of "bike nights" next year. 

Joanna Chang, manager of Grumpy's Cafe at Earsham Mill, has announced that the popular night which saw 40 bikers returning each week will be back. 

They will start in March next year, and will continue to take place on the second Saturday of every month. 

Ms Chang said: "When we first opened, we did them every week. 

"Bikers came from all over the country."

Her father David Crudgington, who is the foreman of the site, has been a biker "all his life" and is "very excited" for bike nights to return.

Ms Chang added: “We have decided to do a biker breakfast as well as hog roasts, barbecues, and live music".

Grumpy's Cafe was first opened in May 2021 by Ms Chang and Mr Crudgington.

She said: “We fell in love with the mill and when the opportunity arose, we took it.”

The cafe is one of the numerous businesses at Earsham Mill which was bought and refurbished by Roger and Iain Gwynn in 2019. 

Located on the Suffolk border, the mill dates back to the Anglo-Saxon times and was rebuilt in 1862.

It was previously owned by Hovis in 1939 and continued to grind flour for bread until 1962, when it became an animal feed mill until closing in 1981.

The cafe has held a range of events for the community, including the Mill and River Beer Festival in July. 

The day raised £8,000 for the River Waveney Trust and saw "hundreds" of people attending the event.

Ms Chang said: “It went amazing and we are hoping to do another next year.”

They are also holding a "warm room" every Thursday 9am to 3pm where they open a function room to the public, to help battle loneliness in the community.

It has games, books, and wool for anybody to enjoy.

Ms Chang said: “People need community.

“This is for any and everybody struggling to stay warm or just doesn’t want to be alone.”

The café is open Monday to Saturday 8am to 3pm.
