Join our quest to crown Britain’s best biker café
We’re on a quest to crown the finest roadside biker café in Blighty! Nosh on...
Britain, Britain, big breakfast Britain! Very few things go together better than a rideout that includes a steaming hot mug of tea washing a full English past your tonsils.
Not that any of us need an excuse to ride bikes and eat food at bikerfriendly cafés, we’ve come up with one anyway. Welcome to MCN’s 2018 hunt for Britain’s best biker café.
Over the next 25 weeks, we’ll be on a bacon butty-fuelled quest to sample a different café every week – all in the name of research. We’ll be soaking up the ambience, the local roads, the temperature of the welcome, and the addictiveness of the grub. We’ll then score each venue, and move on to the next gastronomic biking nirvana. We don’t just want to visit nice cafés that tolerate bikers, we want to tour the ones that really welcome us. That doesn’t mean they have to have a bike night, or organise special events – they just have to welcome bikers with open arms, rather than folded ones. Whether it’s a roadside diner in an old Portakabin, a converted pub or A-road service station, a nourishing corner of your local bike dealership, or a full-on bike-themed café – they all count.
Next week we’ll roll up at Squires Café at Sherburn-in-Elmet for their Wednesday bike night to sneak through the crowds and sample the best bits of the menu, before rolling on to Krazy Horse on May 3 for their monthly first-Thursday evening of petrolhead-onism.
Why don’t you go along, too?
