    Squires Cafe Bar. I've only been there once but it's a hugely popular place for bikers. Big car park. Like a bike show in its own right on a warm summer's evening. Entertaining but not exactly a gastro pub.

    Honey Cafe, Bronllys 52.0094° N / 3.2444° W - lovely little spot that serves good coffee and food and is really popular with bikers - not your usual biker cafe but you feel very welcome nevertheless.

    Oasis Snack Bar located in the bus station in Abergavenny - very popular and busy, basic "biker fare" and every kind of bike or scooter you'd want to see on a busy day 51.81986 / -3.014888.

    Dom's Bike Stop 52.2209314975 / -2.71829009056 - popular spot where you'll find the car park packed with bikes on a nice day. Just off the A49. Basic coffee and food but a pleasant, convenient and friendly place to stop.

    The Super Sausage:
    Watling St, A5, Northampton NN12 7QD.
    Near Towcester on the A5
    Great food and coffee. A real buzz about the place on a summer weekend. But get there early…….it gets packed.

    In CREDITON, Devon. On the A377 EXETER to BARNSTAPLE road. This used to be a good biking road but there are now so many speed restricted areas and road works where the road has disappeared or been landslide damaged it's no longer a particularly pleasant ride. That shouldn't deter anyone going to visit the cafe/shop, though. The coffee's good, plenty of outside seating, too.

    May be a little bit too "hipster 'ish" for the (us) older rockers but don't let that 'image' deter you - it is worth a stop.

    It's a short walk up from Treen's motorcycle shop - a REAL old fashioned bike shop where Clive (ex BRIDGE GARAGE workshop manager and all round nice guy) is available to MOT, service and maintain your Triumph!

    Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I'm adding them to the map this morning. Rather than keep replying to each post and cluttering up the thread I'll just use the 'informative' icon to indicate it's been put on the map.

    You're getting us off to a good start, Mrs Visor. :blush: On Google Maps it says 'temporarily closed'. Is that a Covid thing, do you know?

    The web site looks interesting but it's all in Dutch! :) Can you help us poor monolinguists out with a bit of an explanation of the place? Cheers!

    As it's an outdoor venue it is closed up until March specific date tbc ;) suspect the overheads, wages etc probably outweigh the income over the winter months :D
