Join our quest to crown Britain’s best biker café
We’re on a quest to crown the finest roadside biker café in Blighty!
The word ‘Big’ goes with ‘Breakfast’ so well that these two words alone are enough to get most red-blooded bikers digging their keys out and heading out on the road in search of a café. Not that we need an excuse to ride bikes and eat food at cafés that welcome their visitors arriving on two wheels, we’ve come up with one anyway. This is MCN’s 2018 hunt for Britain’s best biker café.
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. 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. 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.
This week (tonight) we’ll be at Squires Café at Sherburnin-Elmet for their Wednesday bike night to sneak through the crowds and sample the best bits of the menu. Next week we’ll be heading to Krazy Horse for their monthly first-Thursday evening of petrolhead-onism. How about we see you there? April 25 2018
