I think the days of being turned away from cafes and pubs because your in your bike gear have more or less gone So how’s about a list of cafes for anywhere in the UK that you’ve visited and can recommend. It’s always nice to know of a cafe if your new to the area, visiting or passing through and need refreshments. If the cafe has a website please post a link.
Lynns Raven Cafe is situated at the junction of the A41/A49 South of Whitchurch, Shropshire. The cafe is a typical truck stop serving typical trucker food. Plenty of seating and parking. Very popular in the summer on a Thursday evening and on a Sunday. The Big Breakfast is an annual event held this year on Sunday 14th April, the cafe and car parks get full pretty quickly. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lynns+raven+cafe&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari

Delamere Station House Cafe, Delamere, Cheshire is situated on the B5152 (approx 2miles from The Fourways Cafe) on the edge of Delamere Forest.

Yondermans Cafe, Wardlow, Derbyshire is situated on the A623. Good food and drink using locally sourced produce. Not the biggest of cafes but has tables outside at the rear of the cafe. Plenty of parking. The cafe is situated in the beautiful Peak District and is one of my favourite cafes. It takes me about 1hour to get there riding some nice twisty roads. https://www.yondermanncafe.com/

@Tiglet has posted my favorite cafe's here in Cheshire... I can add the burger bar at Bill Smiths in Chester, they do a good breakfast bap and the burger bar at Broxton Roundabout at the junction of the A41/A534.
There's a container cafe outside Bikers World, Coleshill on the Lichfield Road A446 (runs parallel to M6 toll). Good for warm up with a hot drink and a bacon or sausage sandwich or similar (if you don't mind sliced bread). Can have a poke around Bikers World whilst there. Not sure if it has a name, cannot find a web site.
Super Sausage on the A5 just south of Towcester is consistently good, it’s won “Britain’s Best Cafe” a couple of times, so worth a visit.
The Oil Can Cafe, Holmfirth http://thecardingshed.co.uk/ Only tried the coffee so far, gonna put that right in the near future.
I promise I won't mention Loomies! Needles Eye Cafe, Milford on Sea. mhttps://www.needleseyecafe.co.uk The Lookout cafe, Lepe Country Park
