Title: Alan's Cafe, Quatt, Nr Bridgnorth
Post by: retro900 on September 07, 2007, 02:17:18 PM
On the A442 between Kidderminster in Worcestershire and Bridgnorth  
If you hail from the midlands you probably already know this place, if not and you are around the Wolverhampton/Shropshire area the place makes a good watering hole.

Cup of tea 60p, in this day and age an absolute bargain, not sure on the opening time but most weekends they close up about 4.30pm.
Usually at the weekend the place is heaving with bikes, especially the sunny days.

One of the most biker friendly cafe's i've come across.

I went to a bikers caff somewhere round there, wonder if it's the same one?  I was following someone so I don't really know where I was but I know we'd been through Kiddie cos it's the only time I been thru Kiddie without getting lost!

Got a phot somewhere but I can't find it! - nope, found it!

And looking at the lack of green on trees i'd say it was wintertime. I guess all the fair weather tribe stayed at home, on a sat/sun theres usually 100+ bikes on a sunny day.

It was in June actually!  Had a day doing some Midland RBR landmarks with some friends from Brum, on my way to the TT.

Taz & I were at our local bike meet in Alton, Hants last night. So were Janie, Dave, Chrissie, (Triker Pete's missus), Chevy Rick, Reg & Mr Giant.
Starting to thin out there now as the darker nights approach. The cafe shuts in the evenings at the end of September, so no more bike evenings then till the Spring.
