It's early, you've bundled all the luggage and kids into the car and set off for Skegness for an Easter break. But in all the excitement you might not have had breakfast and before you reach the seaside resort tummy rumbles are so loud they're almost drowning out the repeated cries of "are we nearly there yet?"
If you're looking for a pit-stop to refuel (we're taking about food, not petrol) there's no shortage of cafes enroute but we can guarantee there's nowhere quite as much fun as V-ATE, just a ten-minute diversion, if that, off the A52 Nottingham to Skegness route.
Just before Boston and that tortuous last leg of the journey with its winding roads and farm vehicles trundling along at a snail's pace, the car-themed diner is located just off the A17 Sutterton roundabout. The site is also home to McDonald's, where you know exactly what you're getting, how much it will cost and what it will be like before you step through the door.
