We're heading to Silverstone next Friday & would like a decent breakfast along the way.

We'll either be going A46 to Leicester then M1, or A1 to Stamford then A43 to Northampton OR A1 to Peterborough then A605 & A45 to Northampton.

A decent breakfast in a nice independant cafe will determine which route we will take as distance/time wise they're all much of a muchness.

Any recommendations please Comrades?

Thanx in advance. :thumb2
 
Hmm. Appreciate the swift response but was hoping for something midway between the 2 points. That said it covers all the bases, route wise, so I'm not ruling it out. Thanx again.

Edit. On reflection it looks a very good call. :thumb2
 
Both cafes are good IMO, the cops seem to prefer the Super Sausage though. It's also a good back route to the circuit but that's not so important on the Friday.

OK Diners

You have 2 OK Diners on the A1 approaching Stamford, 1 on the southbound at South Witham next to the Fox Inn and another at Stamford on the Northbound side but accessible from the first Stamford junction.
 
Seems like a good reason to avoid that one then. :augie





Useful for the Saturday though.

Thanx again.

No, you will be allright it is used by officers on driving courses the Met and most of the local forces get there, but all will be well.

On the Saturday you are highly unlikely to meet with them anyway, although I have seen a Met course there on a Saturday on occasion.

As I like both cafes, the cop comment was included only as an indicator of what a certain consumer sector prefers, it wasn't knocking their patronage :blast

Apologies for the confusion. I never took it that way. :thumb2

Personally, however, if I have a choice I'd rather avoid Thatcher's Fascist Bully Boys.

Bang - that's the nail being firmly hit on the head Mr. N.. :D


NB, it's the OCD dontchyaknow. :pullface
 
Thanx again chaps. We've decided to take everyone's advice & use the 2 cafes near the circuit, 1 on the Friday & the other on the Saturday. We'll use one of the OK Diners on the way back on Sunday assuming we get there before it closes.

Really appreciate the help. :thumby:
 
A final thank you to everyone. In the end we used the Super Sausage on the Friday and Saturday.
Without a shadow of doubt the finest cafe I've had breakfast in. Superb food, excellent vfm and surrounded by posters of bikes and bike racers. 10/10.:D

Incidentally we only saw 4 of TFBBs and once they saw the size of the queue they scuttled off. Bonus.
