Food and Drink / American Food - Milton Keynes
« on: March 09, 2014, 02:33:34 pm »
So there seems to be a bit of an upsurge in American style/themed eating establishments in the last few years.
After our friends effort 'Just Smokin', in Bletchley didn't stand the test of time, we have searched out a few alternatives, aside from your regular TGI's and F&B's and avoiding the usual takeaways operated by our Asian friends.
Thought I'd do a little reference thread of the ones in MK. Please feel free to add others. Admin could update and possibly 'sticky'. Maybe others could do there own towns.

Thanks, I've send an email. Hopefully they can do a lot better than the £500 to import a floor pan.His next shipping date is 20th March according to his post on POC forum,
He recommended NPD as they have a store close to where he ships from in Florida.

Any tips on getting them over here as cheap as possible? I'm shopping around for quotes at the moment and the shipping costs are astronomical.For bigger items like my cowl panel I used this guy....

They bring a container in every four to six weeks so you have to plan quite a way in advance.
Saved a bit, but not huge amounts.
