Thompson opens Mill Race Moto themed bakery and café with vintage motorbikes.

Former Mill Race Garden Centre owner David Thompson plans to open Mill Race Moto this summer, a themed bakery, café, and restaurant featuring vintage motorbikes and classic cars. Construction has begun on the site, which will include daily fresh baked goods and be dog-friendly. Thompson has shelved plans for noisy padel courts and now aims to develop the property into a long-term mixed-use business park with offices and a nursery, seeking approval from Colchester Council.
