52 cafes in 52 weeks - challenge

Cafe 33, week 27: Cafe 8, Huddersfield

After Ireland, getting COVID and the family getting it I had a short ride out. Having been past this cafe many times before I finally stopped.

In between student halls of residence they know their market; simple food at a student-friendly price. It's OK but not great. OK decor inside, nice outside.

Cafe 28 today Cobbs farm shop and cafe just outside Hungerford tried something I've not had before American pan cakes, maple syrup and bacon very tasty with a pot of tea. Went out early today to beat the heat later in the day.

Cafe 34, week 28: Coxley Engine House, Horbury Bridge

Part of me doing this challenge was to visit the 'odd' cafe's that I know about but don't have a reason to go visit. This is one of them and it's the third time I've tried to get here, the previous two occasions having found it shut despite advertised opening times. Only open Saturday and Sunday 11am-5pm it's coffee/tea/soft drinks and cake or a scone. That's all.

The building is an old engine shed from a mill and has tables downstairs and on the first floor. There's no actual counter and you've got to be able to go upstairs to order

£4.50 for coffee and a nice slice of cake:

Cafe 20, 12.7.22 Lowe's Farm Shop, Byley (near Knutsford). Hadn't intended stopping but was out on a bimble and remembered I had a loyalty card for this place which gave me a free coffee (I hammer it in lockdown). The Farm Shop itself is pretty good, but it does cater for the well heeled Cheshire set, but some things are good value, a great spread of cakes on a table as you enter. The various hanging baskets and planters outside were putting on a great display too.

Cafe 21, 13.7.22. Blimey consecutive days! The Old School House, Cheddleton near Leek. One of my favourites. Outdoor seating inside the main part of the old school has seating and loads of artwork on the walls. There's a side room with comfy chairs and decked out like a library. Good menu (Staffs oatcakes etc), although prices have ramped up a bit (although where hasn't?). £6.60 coffee and carrot cake.

Café 35, week 29: Bloc, Holmfirth

Having missed the start of my club's ride instead I rode out on a similar route to son no. 2 and stopped at one of the most expensive café's in Holmfirth. Cake and coffee £5.50 which was the cheapest option.

Going to start again, need some motivation. Forgot phone on Thursday, truck stop Lesmahagow and cafe on corner at Strathaven. Today the Birkmyre
In Kilmacolm for No 3.

SUPER annoyed today! We left home at 6am to start our hike up and around Pen y Fan at 8.30 and I spent the whole day excited for our planned cafe visit to the delightful Old Barn Tearooms nearby which I’d researched in advance! 10 miles of hot hiking later and we rocked up at the cafe to find it closed due to staff illness! I was gutted. We ended up at a revolting campsite cafe as we desperately needed cold drinks and ice cream! Not adding that horror to my cafe tally.

Café 36, week 29: Holme Coffee House, Holmfirth (not Holme village).

Sat by the door, so a takeaway cup and bag. £5.60 for a nice sticky fruit slice and coffee, which makes it one of the more expensive places. Continuing my tour of Holmfirth's café's, with a few still to 'test'.

Not normally on this thread, but a black pudding roll sounds excellent! I've been missing out.
