Capheaton Village Tearoom — Restaurant in England

You don't have to be a cyclist to eat here but it's possibly thanks to the legions of hungry cyclists that this place has a good trade. I remember when the cafe opened back in the mid 90's as an attempt to save the village hall, back then I was a regular club cyclist and this place soon became a regular stop though more in the autumn/winter months. The summer would see us heading further afield. My cycling became curtailed by family life but eventually, with more time to myself, I got back out on the bike again and found myself heading here one Sunday in 2016. To my delight very little had changed (I think they moved the counter 90 degrees). Quirky decor with loads of local memorabilia, great friendly service and a decent range of quality and tasty food. Its a shame the cafe only opens weekends as a change in my work life means I rarely get out at weekends but when I get the chance I'll have to...

Very nice place, unchanged for years with a traditional warm welcome. There's enough choice in food and drink available and lots of space to find your own spot. Outside seating too in bright weather. Very popular with the cycling fraternity which adds a bit of colour and atmosphere. Well worth a little trip out to this...

Due to a cyclist friend that goes to capheaton most of the time I thought it was time to take a cycle there. Staff were sorting of packing up as I didn't get there til about 3pm ,but they stayed open with me turning up and I had a chat with the lovely staff and a very nice slice of cake...
