THE old Mooball Cafe is now the Moo Moo Roadhouse and is open for business and hard to miss as you drive into Mooball on the Tweed Valley Way.

Still dressed in its traditional black and white cow colours, the roadhouse now has a vintage feel to it.

It was something owner Mark Murnane, new manager Cassie Smith and Peter Payntver came up with in the planning stage of the six-week prep and fitout.

"Mark asked me to come in and manage it so we started the clean-up," Miss Smith said.

"We are definitely biker and hotrod friendly these days."

The menu cements Miss Smith's point about bike riders; the burger menu named after bike brands and models.

"The chicken Chopper is a big favourite with the bike riders; all the burgers are big and fresh so they love them," Miss Smith said.

The Tweed Valley is popular with motorcycle riders, with plenty of smooth open roads to cruise at the weekends and the roadhouse will no doubt be on the menu of car enthusiasts as well.

On November 16, from 11am, the roadhouse is holding its official opening with a great display of cars and bikes on show and for sale.

The Old Moo Moo speed shop is attached to the roadhouse.

Run by Mr Payntver, it showcases some cool old cars and newer bikes as well as plenty of vintage memorabilia.

Mr Payntver is a car and bike nut and knows his stuff, with a 1966 Ford Ranchero, 1932 Ford Roadster and 1931 Delux Coupe in his garage.

"When Mark first bought the place we were not sure what to do with the space, but the more we talked about the speed shop idea the more we liked it," Mr Payntver said.

Most of the shop's contents are for sale except Mr Payntver's hot rod.
