Now the
founder member of the "ghost cafes" all we can do is remember
the way we were. Recently
closed down as a cafe and now an indian restaurant. Oh how the mighty
have fallen. Once the very hub of Peak district climbing, caving
and cycling now you must hasten to Grindleford. Perhaps we will not
see the like again.

An icon and the
only reason to visit llanberis. Excellent food, quality view, showers
and steeped in history, but often very busy and just a tad full of
itself.

It never happens that a seaside cafe
goes right into the quality. However this one you couldn't fault.
Sports a lovely garden metres from a nice beach and food to die for.
Great Chips, better kippers and children welcome. Docked a point
because despite being close to the beach it avoids having a sea view
and it is very popular.

It has certainly been a while since the
top of the cafeometer has changed but March 2007 sees a new challenger.
Marigold in Knaresborough enjoys an envible riverside location in the
bottom of the gorge. The prices are fair, the chips are crisp and the
staff manage to be helpful and remote at the same time. You can feed
the swans and children are welcome. All this within a mile and a half
of Cafeometer HQ. Sometimes you really can search the world and find
happiness in your own backyard.

The
Llama Karma Kafe where the A66 meets the M6 |

Fantastic this one and cool name.
Also sports a Delicatessen, the rather wonderfully titled Deli Llama.
One wall is glass and you of course watch the Llamas. Very child
friendly. Food is good, excellent cumberland sausage buttie, which
trumps the lack of chips. Cool decor, nice owners and a godsend if
you traverse the A66 as often as we do. Only docked marks because
lack of chips really.

Café

opposite Tescos, Fiveways, Birmingham |

Café One
is the café that breaks the 'Chip rule' but remains a café!
A free trade café, mainly vegetarian,(one chicken dish available
every day), the only meal on the menu is the daily buffet. Jamaican
BBQ/Jerk on Mondays/Tuesdays, Chinese on Wednesdays and Indian on
Thursdays and Fridays - and its eat as much as you want (or can).
There are only two, square, tables, each sitting up to 16 people.
Pick up your buffet, pick up a hippie and chill out.

Whitshiel Cafe,
Langholm, Scotland |

Conveniently situated
on the A7 near Langholm this cafe, affectionately known as the sh!twheel,
provides a useful stop on the way to the Scottish Borders. Full Scottish
breakfast is superb (tea and toast included) and service is fast,
although not always with a smile. According to the menu 'chips may
be substituted for a baked potato, but allow extra time' - you have
been warned. Marks lost for the external loo and dour Scots demeanor. |
