On the A40 east of Oxford in the lay-by at Forest Hill just before you join the eastbound M40 is a snack van run by a fanatical GoldWinger by the name of George but known to all as "Average" good clean grub and reasonable prices |
Another good "dog van" is just of the A419 north of Swindon, south of Cirencester. take the the first turn off after the Cricklade turn and follow the old A419 north for about a mile and it is in a lay-by on the side of the road |
Lay-by just east of Wantage on the A417 just before Lockinge is another good snack van, the only drawback on this one is what ever you ask for the propeiter always replys "whatever makes you happy" but the food is exellent |

Jack Hill's Cafe and the Super Sausage get my vote - both on the A5, Jack Hill's is north of Towcester and the Super Sausage is near Yardley Gobion, who sounds like a character from Lord of the Rings. The cook in the Super Sausage comes out for a chat about my bike, being in the over-60 demographic who find it irresistableThe author of this will remain nameless... eh Sheila?? |
Tearooms in Cleobury Mortimer opposite the church. A4117 |
