Welcoming the Hampshire Mini Owners Club to Fuel & Fable

On Saturday 11th October, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Hampshire Mini Owners Club for their aptly named “Coffee Time” meet here at Fuel & Fable.

From the moment the first Minis rolled into the yard, it was clear this was going to be a special one — rows of classic and modern Minis lined up, each with its own story, character, and proud owner behind the wheel. There’s something undeniably joyful about seeing a convoy of Minis arriving together — the colours, the chrome, the unmistakable sound — it’s automotive nostalgia at its best.

Inside the café, the coffee machines were humming, the smell of freshly roasted beans filled the air, and the chatter of car enthusiasts mixed perfectly with the clinking of cups and the sound of engines cooling outside. It’s exactly what we built Fuel & Fable for — a space where community, coffee, and craft collide.

Events like this remind us what it’s all about. Great coffee is at the heart of what we do, but it’s the people and the stories that make it special. The Hampshire Mini Owners Club brought both in abundance — plenty of passion, laughter, and some truly stunning cars that turned our little corner of Christchurch into a Mini showcase for the morning.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, enjoyed a brew, shared a story, and made the meet such a success. We can’t wait to welcome you all back again soon — and to see even more local clubs, riders, and drivers make Fuel & Fable part of their journey.
