Route 11 is a new venture in Norfolk. Located on the A11 northbound just outside Attleborough, they have totally revamped and refreshed what was, 20 years ago, a Little Chef. Route 11 Motorcycles is a clothing and accessories shop, joined with Route 11 Kitchen, which is a family and biker friendly restaurant.
Route 11 opened in May 2016 and have had an amazing amount of support from both the local and biker community. Recently signed up as one of the sponsors at Attleborough Town Football Club. The team are keen to make clear that "being part of the community is important to us".
They hold regular biker nights on a Monday night from 6 pm, as well as being open 7 days a week; Mon to Weds 8-5, with late nights Thursday through Saturday until 9pm. Sundays they are open 9-5.
There's a great team in the restaurant who have been with them since the beginning and they only use locally-sourced FRESH food from the surrounding area. Everything is homemade. They don’t do frozen!! The all-day breakfasts are a real talking point and the milkshakes are freshly made with Yorvale real dairy ice cream (a Yorkshire company but a nod to the head chef).
Route 11 Motorcycles has some great brands including, Furygan, Shoei, Schuberth, Halvarssons, Lindstrand, Richa, Moto Girl leggings (the only supplier in Norfolk and Suffolk) Akropovic, Yoshi, Gillies plus many more great brands. If we don’t have it on site, we will do our best to source if for you.
Route 11: "We were thrilled to have previously received BSB rider's Peter Hickman, Fillip Backlund, Tom Fisher and Josh Daley over from Snetterton to visit the store and meet local riders". He continued, "we are looking in to organising more events on soon".
