Coffee, flapjack and ketchup? You heathen!

Welcome to Yorkshire - we do things differently up here

Yesterday I was on a 200k audax from Alfreton and, as it was cold, offered some opportunities for stops:

Café 11: Corn Dolly, Wragby

It's an old building but friendly staff. I squeezed into a corner as there were lots of customers. The dark shadow on the bottom right is my bike!

Apple pie with custard and a coffee for £5.15

Café 12: Feeling Peckish, Newark.

The plan was to stop at Gannet's rather than just keep going to the finish as I was really cold. But that was busy and this appeared to be open next door. They'd stopped doing hot foot but could still supply something; friendly front-of-house, grumpy back-of-house and it's a nice place.

No hot food but a coffee, toasted teacake and cake for £6.00.

Lovely walk through Allerthorpe woods yesterday. Sadly the coffee from Casey's tasted no better than instant Nescafé. Large selection of brownies.

Total 45. Cafe 3. I have been passed this one a lot of times so thought I would try it this time. Nice one with a good range on cakes. I had

coffee and bread pudding. It at the Slieght Golf Driving Range just outside Devizes

Café 13: Stork Lodge Tea Room, Wakefield

This was another I'd been to last year, but a simple and friendly stop on a short ride out getting Turf zones. Coffee and cake for £6. Oh, and I've only now just discovered it's real name

I love reading your posts because there are so many cafes that are right on my doorstep that I have never been to.

Café no 6. The Hide Cafe and Deli Pocklington. Revisiting an old favourite from when we did East Yorkshire Cycle Chat rides. @Cathryn was it Admin's 40th we celebrated here? Excellent brunch and coffee. The cake selection also looked good. Cycle racks right opposite. A handy stop off on the Wolds Cycleway

We were upstairs. I think it had a white shop front at that time.

Cafe 10, Hartley Farm Shop and Cafe, Bradford on Avon

Post run!! A lot fancier than expected. They had a little cafe (cake and coffees) and a lunch spot and we went to the lunch place! Food was delish and they were very friendly! Took my son out for lunch and it was excellent!

Total 46. Cafe 4. Not so much a cafe but a well known bakery in Pewsey. Marshalls Bakery in Pewsey. Coffee and piece of lardy cake £2.80 takeaway. Sat in an Audax hotel/bus shelter to eat and drink watching village life go by. Lovely.

Flipping LOVE lardy cake. Will always remind me of getting it with my Nan and her dog and waving at the lorries going over the A303.

Cafe 11, The Mole Hill, Claverton Down

Out on a run 🏃🏻‍♀️ and stumble on a little horse box cafe half way round! Would have been rude to have run past, so I didn’t. I got a flat white and sat on a bench, checking out the current situation at Milan San Remo before stiffly staggering the final mile home!
