That's the one, Dicky. I should point out that I've asked for others to suggest start points too, but Jack's Hill worked well last time, so I'd be happy to use it again if need be.

I know round that part of the countryside (used to live there) decent greasy spoons are almost impossible to find

But the food at Jacks Hill is not that clever, can we not meet somewhere where there is decent food

**lowry** · 01 Jul 08, 09:14 AM

where abouts is jacks hill cafe?
i would be up for this one as well

The old ex little chef( now taken over by a local garden centre I think) on the A3400 Stratford - Woodstock, Chipping Norton / Banbury r/bout is quite good, clean tidy and bike friendly, we stopped there on Sunday I was well impressed.
Must have been about 40-50 bikes pass thru the time we spent there plus many passing.
Fairley central for some good roads

Gordon,
Will agree been down that area once some nice roads round that area - Any idea what the Garden centre is called so I can get a fix and do a search.

**gordonp** · 01 Jul 08, 01:40 PM

Hi Just done a search , no joy, not even sure if it's named after a GC, could be somthing like Mother Rileys, I usually go past every 10 days or so so I will pay more attention next time and put details on here

You cannot miss it as it is next to a car sales and opposite the Shell station.

Anybody from that area can help

I think it might just be called the Garden Centre Cafe or something. It's on my regular A361 route; never stopped but certainly popular with bikers. It's the place at 12 o'clock on the roundabout here:

Righty-dokey skip me old mate, I´ve ear-marked this one as we should be back in Blighty for early August. This is of course assuming I can whizz the bike in for a service before then!
