Hopefully at some time Spring (or even Summer) may arrive and we can get our pride and joy out of the shed, garage, front room etc.. It seems to me over the last few decades that there's fewer countryside cafes to visit. Is it worth having sticky on this forum with places to go where we can take a break, have a drink and some food and pass the time of day with other motorcyclists? To start things off my favourite for a while has been the Old Smithy in the centre of Monyash in the Derbyshire Peak District. Great place good food reasonable prices and friendly staff and lots of bikers.
The Plough Inn at Great Bentley between Clacton and Colchester, nice pub, nice food and very bike friendly. Normally have a bike night every Wednesday by the Green which is always well attended. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Great-Bentley-Bike-Meet/178610622206295 https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Resta...e_Plough_Inn-Great_Bentley_Essex_England.html
Squires otherwise known as Sherburn - the biggest weekly meet in the country on Wednesdays, hard to move on Thursdays too sometimes and the bike park is huge, busy all day every weekend also Seaways café on the A166 through Stamford Bridge on the Bridlington Road - biker cafe Just down the side road from Seaways - Fimber Café in the Woods - biker café We need a sticky map though really - like the members map A little meet at Box Hillock near Londinium too evidently for the Southern contingent if anyone has heard of it
Porkies cafe - Wednesday nights ( Waddesdon ) H cafe - Golden Balls round about Berensfield - Monday nights Super sausage - A5 Jack Hills cafe - Towester 1st Friday evening of the month
I thought we could go in any cafe? I dare someone to tell me I can't come in as I arrived on a motorcycle.......
West End Cafe, Llandovery https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...9f3b9f94cbef84f!8m2!3d51.9934931!4d-3.7986953 Gets busy but plenty of room. Handy for a refuel before you go off to play on the Black Mountain pass. Also handy because everyone else has the same idea so if you head for the mountain at breakfast time they're all in the cafe and you get the pass to yourself.
Honey cafe , near talgarth , brecon beacons national park, excellent food, great beer garden Williams garage cafe, cwmdu, good simple home made food The owls nest, llandovery, only 500 yards from the west end cafe, ( at old garden centre) The harbour master, aberaeron, just gorgeous Abergavenny bus station, crap food but big biker meet Devils bridge near Aberystwyth, Visitor centre at Elan Valley
Forgot that one. I stay at Cwmdu regularly - pretty much an annual pilgrimage, either the campsite or in one of their holiday cottages and I always stop at the garage before I check in. My trips to the Brecon Beacons don't begin till I've had a slab of bara brith and a pot of tea at the Williams Cafe.
You can, but some target the biker market so are deemed 'motorcycle friendly' Note: Tetchy people can be barred at will
