The bad reports for Conwy Falls suprised me.

I think it used to be really bad about 2/3 years ago, but as you can see most of us think it's great.

Another great tea room is Rosie's cafe in Hayfield. Crazy legs introduced us to it's delights and we love it.

Elsdon, Northumberland. famous cyclists cafe, which is basically someone's house. Mate asked for Beans on toast, with a fried egg. got charged 7 quid for beans on toast (3.50) and egg on toast (3.50).

This is such an extraordinary place! The mugs reminded me of those that came free from petrol stations many moons ago. Lovely village setting though.

Wilfs in staveley. Was the kind of place you'd get a massive bacon sandwich and a pint of tea but went downhill when it tried to go up market.

Still, the artisan bakery almost next door is ace so it's not all bad news.

Very good indeed but just to expensive to justify regularly.

Is that the place that does the lovely mini pies? Best pies ever.

I've been going out with the road club nearly every Sunday since Christmas.
There is always the cafe stop on the way around and i've been amazed at the prices that are being charged.
£6 for a boiled ham sandwich.2 small slices of bread with a bit of ham and 6 crisps on the side.
Whats happened to the good old transport cafe that was a bit rough around the edges but you got plenty to eat at a reasonable price.
Its all foreign sounding sandwiches and Italian designer coffee where the customers are out in their Sunday best after looking at plants for their herbacious border at the nearby garden centre.
A friend in a local motorcycle club said that they have the same views on the local cafes.

Loaf in Crich has very good cakes. a bit out of the way for MTBing but often call on the road bike. The guy is some kind of super baker and runs breadbaking courses as well

Woodbine Cafe.

overpriced and food poor,
the woman is a stuck up cowbag-miserable old hag.

I'm getting the feeling you're not a fan.
