Tankslap Meeting Places

Post by Kwacky »

We've got Lucy's in Stow for the South Midlands ride outs.

When I meet Dale for the it's at the Station Cafe, Craven Arms - http://www.yell.com/biz/station-cafe-cr ... ms-177833/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So where else do people suggest for hook ups?

It might be worth doing a list then I'll add them to this first post and make it a sticky

Met a lot of slappers (one's from here not the other type) at this Cafe on the A49 near Whitchurch.

Always been popular with bikers and a good meeting point for breakfast before heading into Wales for the day.

You have places like H Cafe and Loomies Oxford area and Alton area. There's a nice Tea shop in Marlborough. Think it's called A Lisenced Coffee Shop?!

I'm looking for somewhere easy enough to find but not the usual biker places. Lucy's is ideal as there's somewhere to park but it's not a typical biker meeting place like Ace or Quatt.

errr, this is not likely to be helpful, as you have asked me the question! What place was that ? Lol (facepalm)
I have no idea.... About meeting points, the only ones that we seem to meet at is the lay by off the M4 ha ha.

Eating points for cake.
H cafe - Oxfordshire
AV8 - wilts
Middle Wallop - wilts
Loomies - Hants
Box hill - Surrey
Newlands corner - Surrey
Madeira drive - Brighton (big breakfast)
Departure lounge - Hants
Court hill - Oxfordshire
Popham - airfield
Sammy Millers - new Forest
Cafe (don't know name) top of fish hill



Is it one of these ?

You mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. I'll try and find the post. I think it was on the same day you went to the airfield for breakfast. Not that I'm suggesting you only go on your bike to get food..........

There is a tea and coffee shop in Cleobury North on the B4364 about half way down. I've meant to stop there a number of times but never quite got round to it. Its set back off the road and looks to have plenty of parking. I have seen bikes stopped there before.

I liked the cafe that we went to on the south side of Wantage, just towards the top of the hill on the road that heads to . No idea what it was called but it was a Frankie ride out..

Sure there is many others I liked, just can't remember them now or just can't remember where they are (faceplam)
