Went to Limes Farm in Farthinghoe (east of Banbury, north west of Brackley)
Cost me £10.90 for a cracking sausage sandwich and a latte. Latte wasn't the biggest. They had lots of home made cakes but I didn't have one.
Couple of benches outside, but if you went inside I didn't see anywhere to lock you bike up.
If I'm out that way again I would go again, despite the price, wasn't too long ago you could get a sausage or bacon sandwich and a go drink for a fiver. Mind you, I can remember when I could go out and get bladdered on a fiver and still have enough money left for chips on the way home.

Have you tried Akamba in Hockley Heath?

Quite a.unique experience (African and Caribbean). Tend to avoid Solihull town centre

Can anyone recommend a cycling friendly cafe in Cheddar or Weston-Super-Mare that is open on a Sunday?
Thanks

Anyone ever passing through Crieff I highly recommend this place.
Last time I was there I had a roll with black pudding and egg and pot of tea. Only £5.50. Two great big bits of lovely moist black pudding too. Their helpings are very generous. Run by a local butcher and his family.

I went to Holly Lodge last weekend, cracking cafe. Seemed very popular with cyclists.

Its always been good but they've went through 3 renovations making it (Holly Lodge) better still.
A previous iteration
I've not got a picture of before but it was a more open barn with an unsealed floor and a mobile but made permanent coffee stall at the back IIRC It still served great cakes and was cyclist friendly 👍
Have a look at cafe network

You doing Cheddar Gorge @UphillSlowly , I did at monthly ago it's stunning watch out for the goats 🐐 if you descend it , I didn't cafe stop as I did it early there's plenty in Cheddar but they may get busy .I'd look for a cafe somewhere else on route that may be quieter

We went up Cheddar and by the time we got there it was busy! We actually had to forgo a cafe stop to get back to campsite for lunch. Wanted to get home to relieve the babysitter (Child 1)!

A bit off my cycling route but had the best sausage roll (they call it a sausage roll but it's nothing like a sausage roll) I have ever tasted today.
The Menu Cakery, Halfway, County Cork. And the cakes🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰, just outstanding.

The Canalside Cafe in Talybont near Brecon. Friendly people and good British/Indian food. Great coffee.
Handy little bike shop next door, Drover Cycles.

Must admit I take my bike in the back of the car and use it when I get to my destination but lots of cyclists getting off the Holyhead -Dublin ferry doing it the hard way laden up with all sorts, respect to them.
