Goat Gap Cafe - Newby

Situated on the A65 this cafe would normally be off the books as you’d be pretty mad to cycle on such a busy road. Fortunately however, there is a side road from Newby towards Bentham which makes it nice and accessible.

Breakfast starts at 9am and boy what a choice. Big and little Yorkshire breakfasts, vegetarian, eggs on sourdough, the list goes on. Remember to get your order in before 11:30 though as the cafe then moves on to the lunch menu.

The big Yorkshire included 3 sausages, black pud, crispy bacon, mushrooms, beans, egg, tomato and 4 slices of toast. Excellent!

Riverbank - Burnsall

Riverbank is a small eco-cafe situated in Burnsall village car park (£1 for an hour or £5 all day).  It is open from Thursday to Sunday all year round.  It gains a star straight away for having a cycle rack.  Inside there are no menus, just choose from what you see at the serving hatch.  When I visited it consisted of assorted cakes and a few savouries - I chose a Thai Vegetable Roll and a "Fat Boy" which was similar to a sausage roll.  So, no full English breakfast on offer unfortunately.  Still, the rolls were good and washed down with a cup of tea the bill came to £8.50.
