Burger vans and roadside cafes

(1/2) > >>

MTyrrell:
I spent my lunch hour driving around local trading estates in search of a burger van for nice greasy sausage bacon and egg batch for lunch.
 I used to know where they all were and at what time they moved on as I often stopped off for lunch when I was out in the van, but we have a canteen where I work now so never ventured out lunch before.
 
Now they have all gone! There were four that I knew of three have gone completely and the other now leaves his pitch at 11 to get the lunch trade else where.

 Is it seams the burger van and road side cafe are in decline nowadays :(

rangerider:
I wonder if it would be a feasible idea for all members who use some form of sat-nav to mark such places as POI and share the files?

I must admit there is nothing worse than being in a strange part of the country and the quest for food leading me under the golden arches instead of a layby with real food and drinkable coffee.

I can convert between all major POI file formats eg tomtom, autoroute etc

if you were looking for a good fry-up go to lymm services

its a truck stop and its a pick and choose type.

good value and good for the arteries

but failing that if you are one who would use truckstops and cafes a bit i would suggest you buy the truckstop guide from amazon

its bout a fiver i think

v handy and fits in the glove box

Loads of road side snack bars around you just have to know which lay bys to look in. :wink: . Will do a list next time i am out and about and get the grid ref for them

Have a plough through our very own 'Food Forum', you may find what you're looking for

There's a damn good long established one on the A628 (Woodhead Pass), it's called 'Vals' & is listedhere

Grindleford Station Cafe is also good, but possibly not the approach road to take a truck down??
