Re:Fuel exists for one simple reason — to give everyone based in the South West with a love for cars and bikes a place to call home.
About Re:Fuel…
We’re not about egos or exclusivity. Re:Fuel is built on community, conversation, and a shared love of everything automotive. Our space is for slowing down, connecting with others, discovering something new — and just enjoying the simple pleasure of being around good people and interesting vehicles.
Whether it’s your first car, your pride and joy, a project build, a superbike, or something a little quirky — if it’s got wheels and you’re passionate about it, you’re welcome here.
Since opening our permanent venue in 2022, Re:Fuel has proudly become the South West’s only dedicated Cars & Coffee space — and the beating heart of the region’s car and bike culture. Every weekend, you’ll find a relaxed mix of machines and people from all walks of life, parked up and chatting over great coffee and food at our on-site café, The Steamer Coffee House & Kitchen.

The First Event
What started as an idea between three mates in a pub became reality with our very first event at Froginwell Vineyard. A small but special beginning for what would grow into something much bigger — and a fun fact for the history books: the first car through the gates was a Polo GTI driven by George West.

The Move to Dunkeswell
After our first two events exceeded all expectations, it was clear we needed more space for the growing community. The move to Dunkeswell Raceway marked a huge step forward, with over 300 cars turning out on a windy and rain-soaked September morning — proving the passion was real, whatever the weather.

The Re:Fuel Summer Festival
Taking things to the next level, we stepped away from our usual Cars & Coffee format to host a sold-out Summer Festival at the stunning Winslade Manor in Exeter. It was a landmark moment that showcased the strength of the community and what Re:Fuel had grown into.

The First Dedicated Venue in the South West
After three years of growth, the vision became reality. Re:Fuel opened the South West’s first dedicated Cars & Coffee venue in Cullompton — creating a permanent home for the community and a space built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.

Falken Tyres Back the Venue
Falken Tyres came on board as official venue sponsors of Re:Fuel in 2023, marking a huge milestone in our journey. Known globally for their performance, innovation, and strong presence within car culture, Falken’s support has helped elevate Re:Fuel as a leading destination for enthusiasts in the South West.
“The vision was that we wanted our own premises where nice cars could gather every weekend, and over the years of doing various events and building up, we finally got to where we are today. We’re not a show or an event; it’s just a venue where every weekend you’ll find that there will be lots of lovely, beautiful cars turning up. This is why we created Re:Fuel.”
Daniel Regan – Founder of Re:Fuel
Our Vision…
Re:Fuel exists to provide a permanent, welcoming home for the South West’s vibrant and diverse automotive community. Our mission is to create a space where enthusiasts of all backgrounds — whether into classics, customs, modern performance, track cars, bikes, or something completely unique — feel seen, included, and valued.
We believe that car and bike culture is about more than just machines; it’s about people, passion, and shared experience. That’s why Re:Fuel is more than a venue: it’s a social hub where conversations start over coffee, friendships grow around shared interests, and the joy of driving, riding, and building is celebrated without ego or exclusivity.
We’re committed to keeping the car and bike scene alive and thriving in the South West, offering a regular calendar of events that range from relaxed weekend meets to themed gatherings — all held in a safe, respectful, and family-friendly environment.
Powered by our on-site café, The Steamer Coffee House & Kitchen, and a passionate team of staff and volunteers, Re:Fuel is here to bring people together, champion automotive culture, and fuel every journey — one cup, one car, one connection at a time.
