We sometimes have a ride out to Whitby for haddock and chips at Trenchers; the cafe at Fimber never fails to lure us in on the way up there - the quality coffee for only a quid per mug is brilliant.

Have you ever tried Seaways café at Fridaythorpe. Good fry-up and always busy with bikers. Used to be a regular stop before I had to let the GSX go.:emoticon-0106-cryin
 
Which are the best ones in Hull city centre?

Two gingers in paragon arcade. It's hip without being pretentious hipster.

Some good stuff going on in paragon arcade.

Caffienated in the indoor market. Sometimes have city fan related flyers so that's an extra tick.

Indoor market food hall is also thriving. I recommend the Greek stall. Just need to beat the queues.

Most of the good independents get all their beans from the blending room, s9 not much between them.

And as for the margins on coffee. Costs them pennies per cup and they charge 2-3 plus quid.

Of course out of the 2-3 quid there are the small matters of business rates, which can be eye watering, water rates, rent, electricity, staffing costs, raw materials, VAT etc...to be taken out.

The coffee was exceptionally good mate, the scone and strawberry jam wasn't too shabby either.

If you like good home cooking the Granary Cafe at Bell Mills Garden Centre,Driffield is worth a visit for lunch if passing through that way. Never had anything less than excellenf there.
 
One car blocking one lane on the A63 and the city's ****ed.

Sort it out someone, ffs.

Turns out crasher was a TWOCer from the city of Robin Hood, been listening to too many Bob Marley songs and not reading his koran.

Hang 'em high.

The Old Tile Works cafe just over Humber Bridge does the best homemade steak pie I've ever had.
This is my mum tucking in to one.

I always feel steak pie goes better with chips.
Not arguing with your mam tho.

Of course, same as everywhere else that has a product with a markup nowt like that on a cup of coffee.

A good independent coffee shop do alright. **** ones don't.
