Cafe Stops

I had about 5 attempts at making my post because the new forum software kept getting the URL wrong. In the mean time, you had posted. I don't know if URL-generation works properly on my laptop - I will check later when I switch over from the Tab.

You must also check out Cock Pit farm tea rooms, as recommended to me by phil_hg_uk. It is in a lovely location a few miles up the road from Otley and is very popular with cyclists.

Ha ha - great minds think alike, eh Phil!

Not tried that, but there's 'Buffers' up at Storiths, if that's still open?? (correctly known as Back O Th' Hill Farm)

Just off the A59, on the eastern side of the Bolton Abbey turning.
it's up a side-road @ OS SE 082 543 (Sheet 104)

Be warned!!! Unless the road layout has changed, this is a 3-lane road (centre lane was for overtaking in either direction)
If you approach from the east (heading from Blubberhouses/Menwith Hill/Harrogate), & are riding there, it may be safer to stop on the kerbside & wait for a gap in traffic

I never spotted that one. I usually call in at Cavendish Pavilion if I am in those parts.

I agree about that bit of the A59! For a year or two, local audax event Spring Into The Dales went up Storiths and crossed the A59 before descending to the left turn onto Beamsley Lane. I saw a few near misses between cyclists and fast-moving traffic - dodgy! (SITD now takes an alternative route which I prefer, via Bolton Abbey, Halton East and Draughton.)

Pie shops have priority over cafes when I am out and about.

My pie chart identifies sources of good pork pies encountered and yet to be encountered on my bike rides. It isn't comprehensive I have a self imposed limit of two pie shops on any given ride.

I must get out more often....

I notice you've got two in Nelson, I'm from there originally, which ones are they?

Interesting, I've never been to those ones - i'll likely try them now, tho not the pork ones.

Visited a new one, to me this morning (was going to yesterday, but called at 'Squires', at Sherburn-in-Elmet instead)

It's a bit out in the sticks, to the north-east of Pontefract
I went up to up from the A645, via Beal, then over the River Aire, up to Birkin, turning left towards West Haddlesey
it's located at a fishing lake, & is quiet small ,seating perhaps 25 maximum

A lovely quiet spot, with the loudest noises being the chatting of the owner/staff & the chirping of Birds!

Jodrell Banks prolly my fave around here.

So I've heard.

@Richard A Thackeray - been past that one en route to the cafe at Seedlings Nurseries. I'll have to stop next time.

I think my collegue Chris (Whittam), who is now one of your members (again) has mentioned that one to me

I'd called, after being out through; Featherstone > Purston > Ackworth > East Hardwick > Darrington > Wentbridge > Kirk Smeaton > Little Smeaton > Walden Stubbs > Womersley > Cridling Stubbs > Kellingham Common > jct 34/M62 > Whitley Bridge > Beal

Granted, a fairly circular route, but I hadn't got a lot of time

Not much use in the north, but any Waitrose store - free coffee (or tea) with a mywaitrose card (also free)... Sadly you have to buy your own cake, but can't win them all ...

Also Meadow Lea Farm Coffee Shop at the Mickle Trafford end of the Chester Greenway

Jodrell Bank had changed the bread they use on their delectable bacon butties last time I popped in. Not quite as good as before. Might have been a one off so will need to try it again soon.

Hasn't @potsy posted Bear Grills in Congleton in this thread yet.

Not until I've sampled it myself

Its that ciabatta stuff last time I had one - was good though.

They had replaced the ciabatta with seeded brown bread. I am sure it is healthier but just isn't the same.
