Brilliant little cafe at the heart of Haldon Forest Park, just next to the car park, bike hire and loos.

There's both inside and outside seating, so you can sit on the covered deck and watch your bike if you're covered in mud without feeling too bad!

I'd highly recommend the soup and cheese scone combo and the homemade cakes for a mid-trail snack.

Be smug: you've cycled up here, everyone else has driven here with their mountain bikes on the roof rack!

Nice and very cycle friendly cafe at Haldon Forest. Plenty of outside bike storage, picnic benches etc as well as indoor seating. Good simple menu for food, snacks, and drinks. Perfectly positioned to ride from here on the surfaced trails of Haldon or to include it as a stop in a longer loop. Open every day.
