Honesty Café at Crown & Carter

Highlight • Cafe

Great place to stop espcially if you've just ridden over Combe Gibbet or Walbury Hill. Plenty of seating both inside and out. The cafe is underfloor heated, so in the winter this is fantastic. Good selection of cake. The coffee is okay, they can't seem to make a decent flat white (always too milky); but that's pretty common among the Honesty chain (maybe they use cheap beans?).

The Jack Russell II

Highlight • Restaurant

Lovely spot for lunch on a summer’s day ride. The fish and chips was great, as is the beer garden. There’s also a bike rack area to keep your ride secure
