Quernhow is still there

How do u get to it now?

As said Quernhow is still open … come off ( new ) A1M @ Jnc 50 ( just up from the old Rainton Little Thief ) … don’t take A61 to Ripon … take the next exit off the R/about … this is the L.A.R ( Local Access Road ) … can’t remember what No it is - signed Masham / Bedale … cafe about 2 miles on left.
Same Jnc if coming South.

To get back on the A1M … you either come back to Jnc 49 OR follow L.A.R all the way up to Leeming and follow signs A1 Scotch Corner. L.A.R is only single carriageway think there’s 2 R/abouts … but dead straight road.

Don’t think Querhow is any better than it was :unamused:
Londonderry Truck stop have just been given “Green light” for NEW Truckstop as have ( I think ) Leeming :question:

Been in jack hill a few times do pretty nice food there

Greasy Normans A1Ferrybridge , real gourmet food in salubrious surroundings!

Greasy Joes at Cirecester.

A303 The Frying Pan.
Drivers had priority over holiday makers during the summer.

These two at Preees Heath Shropshire have been around for years.

Sunset Penkridge between 11&12 M6, supermarket now :unamused:

The Sunset was between 12&13 off the M6, I live across the road from where it was, parked my lorry on there for years, up until it closed when Kwik Save offered them 4 million for the site, it was still turning a good profit but the offer was too good to turn down.

i thought the doctor owned the various Sausages
re BP Crick that was one
also wasnt Stobbies yard also called Georges?

Can anybody remember a cafe on the Swindon - Wootton Bassett road?
It would have been roughly where J16 of the M4 is now,can remember going in there with the old man . . think it was called Days cafe?

Silver Links Kincardine bridge. Can’t remember the name of the cafe that used to be in Aberuthven, or the one that used to be in the middle of Perth in the 70s.
