Wild Carrot cafe at Chavenage.

Bike racks, bike workshop on site. Cafe was mostly outdoor with some sheltered space, but is now in a huge teepee with a log fire, sofas at one end.

Really good place, good coffee and cakes, but not a food cafe.

It's in the grounds of Chavenage House, home to James Lowesley-Williams, ex-pro, of GCN fame

Spokes CC cafe and workshop. Codicote, north of Welwyn Garden City. Outdoor seating for the summer woodburner indoors for the winter. Great coffee. https://www.spokecycles.cc/

Went in there on Sunday, as part of the planning/route checking for the Hopstock audaxes next August. (And a sociable DIY on 29th Dec - see ACME Christmas Perms ...) They're keen to promote their own events, more the sportive/leisure-ride type and wanted to know any recommendations for bike cafes in Essex/Suffolk. So many of their preferred routes go as we do: head away from London - sideways east-west routing is not really on many folk's radar round here.
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I have not been to Emily's Tea Rooms in Whitwell, Herts. I understand they sell bike spares, which doesn't make this a bike shop...

As of today, I have.  They do sell spares and the flapjacks are absolutely to die for.  It is a bit tucked away though.  I thought I was going into someone’s garden!

I believe Wild Carrot is now shut.
