I highly recommend The Bakers Arms, in Bayford, if you're riding around south Hertfordshire.

Good food, massive beer garden, plenty of space for bikes.

Peaklake, Surrey Hills.

** Woodbridge Cafe **

Right next to the Cricket Ground, under the railway bridge. Corking fried commestibles.

I rode past the cafe in Yalding last weekend, it was so flooded there were swans swimming around in the field next door! Cafe still open for business though as it's raised up.

Just thought of another.

Peggotys Tea Shoppe
122 High Street
Tenterden

Small cafe, but with seating out front too. Can recommend the cream tea!

^added.. cheers

Costa Coffee Beaconsfield as rendez-vous for rides.

Also a cafe in a park at Henley-on-Thames, full of yummy-mummys. food is very decent though.

If you're in Beaconsfield and want a cafe often full of yummy mummys try Jungs, a few hundred meters further down the High Street from Costa going away from the A40. The food is decent, all the bread and cakes are baked on the premises, though a bit more than Costa. There's a branch in Gerrards Cross as well.

Jungs Cafe
6-7 The Broadway
Beaconsfield

If it's a sunny day and you fancy a pint and some decent food in the Beaconsfield area go to the Royal Standard. It's one of the oldest pubs in England and is about a mile from Beaconsfield town centre.

Ah, Almac68, Although the beer runs well at the Dorset, you should have travelled the extra 200 yards down South Street to The Snowdrop in Lewes! Favoured by all of Lewes' Pro-Cycling League! (Myself, Dr. Fast BrownBikeMatt & MTB George!)

i'll add that to the database cheesecake.. once i've been in.
btw twas dorset arms in withyham not lewes we were at..

If you're cycling through Essex, then Blackmore Tea Rooms is quite conveniently located. Lots of Sunday runs congregate there. A tad on the expensive for food though.
