Definitely a tough one - the guy I know who's interested in doing this runs loads of businesses and is still very keen when I spoke to him yesterday.
I think the main aim would be a decent level carpark, nice venue with plenty of areas to store kit when it's wet/cold/etc, good honest food, big screen for showing the moto gp, superbikes, etc. Generally be there for the start/middle/end of ride-outs and for evening meets, weekend events.
Whether there would be enough business to sustain it I don't know - it would certainly be very seasonal
As Gerry knows in particular, I've bounded this very idea around for a number of years and have discussed with Gerry numerous times. That might be heart ruling head though..we both love the idea but also both know how tough being in business is - and both our businesses aren't seasonal!
I'll continue to feed this stuff back to the chap I know and see where he takes it :)

It might be worth going and having a chat with richard at the h cafe near oxford,he's been running the cafe for 2/3 years now and might be able to help with ideas/pitfalls for cafe ownership.......

I have passed this on to our managed house director and area managers as we have some pubs in Wiltshire/Somerset/Hampshire with campsites/accommodation
