That one I was talking about Kwacky, is more biker themed than biker dedicated, and the food is fantastic. Each time I've been there we have been the only customers in biking gear. We just do a loop of the Blue Mountains and it just happens to be smack on 1/2 around said loop, with no one else in tow.

But there is a biker dedicated cafe up the Putty Road, a very well known and well used biking road on the weekends. We took a trip up to that and as you said, food was shite, and a big group of weekend warriors poncing about, not my thing at all either.

when out on a day trip i generally bought a carton of milk at a filling station as it was sort of food and drink but that's no good for cold weather.

Also agree. Think they've made a subtle shift away from the usual burger, fries & a Coke to a much healthier menu....their coffee is good, they do good salads, etc.

That old 'Supersize Me' documentary made McDonald's sit up & take notice....they dropped their Supersize options just a month or so later, all the nutritional info is now available, etc.

End of the day it's just about making smart choices and nothing more than that.

somehow a mcdonalds seems to me like a place you maybe drop in on a journey somewhere rather than a pleasant experience where you perhaps pick up the vibe of a place and experience a sense of having been somewhere different.

I have a few place s I visit which are attached to garden centres, very good food, tend to wait too long to get served, but that food is good and clean .
Well known biker cafe's have all gone down hill imo.... food not so tasty. So when I meet at these places I tend not to eat. Saying that the Super Susauge up near Towester is good. Busy though. However for me to get there I have to use some fun roads, so worth the trip.
Lucy's has been mentioned, this kind of place is ideal, again I know a few dotted around like this, another nice one down in Midhurst. A must when having. Fun on the 272.
Madeira drive Brighton... breakfast run, only thing I have had down there, full breakfast - spot on
And finally the humble airfield, this has become high on the list of ride outs. Good food, service, views and things to see and watch the world go by. I have quiet a few now listed in my memory banks

there's a bike place at the west end of the a272, loomies

if you're going let me know and i'll meet you

Im a big fan of the 1066 café down on the a21 near hastings, good food, reasonable prices and properly biker friendly. Roll on the summer rides there for brekkie, missing it!

looks good - appearance of a former petrol filling station

its a nice ride from me too and only about half hour away so nice on a sunny Sunday morning, go out, get grub, go home and still have the rest of the day with the family

Vegan pie shop in stirchely

One with humongeous tbone steaks, strippers, milfs and free beer.

Sadly I'm still looking for this place

You might want to check out 'The Foxfire' on Imperial Blvd. in Yorba Linda, Ca.

Then again, you might not......(barfs)

Bizarre place.

McDonalds is good for a coffee 'n pee and it's the same all over, Chris Walker has got a good cafe attached to his shop over in Grantham and there are some excellent roads thereabouts, the old forge cafe in Moneyash does really nice apple cake, the pub next door does good food as well.
The airfield cafe at Wellesbourne is a good stopover for tea and cake, the coffee is a bit Knats pee, if you want a real greasy spoon job, try five ways cafe in Buxton.
I shall make a point of trying Lucy's emporium next year.

Sir thomas blanchard You mention Loomies, to be honest the food the last time I went has gone right down hill, the summer is a nightmare, park in the wrong place and you get blocked in.... I cant remember the name of the cafe/tea shop in Midhurst , but its by St Marys church, great place to sit outside in the summer. Google map it and you will see the tables outside.

looks like this one

Hold the mayo.....I brought my own.
