Hullo.

In addition to Box Hill cafe, Fannys Farm Shop and Peaslake - where is good to stop for some mid-ride sustance?

Planning on stopping around Leith Hill / Abinger area but cant think of anywhere.

Cheers

Tanhouse Farm Shop in Newdigate
Tillings in Gomshall

Nothing really where you want it i.e. near Leith :-( althought I see The Abinger Hatch pub which I think has good reviews and cycle friendly.

Plough in Coldharbour?

Many thanks.

I wonder whether just picking up the bike and carrying it to the cafe at Leith Hill Tower will be a PITA.

Yes I think so...I walked to the tower from a car park and it was quite a walk. Not sure what the easiest route would be from the road and certainly in cleats would be a challenge.

Cheers - might change the route then so we go through Shere.
Many thanks

There's not a lot up here to be honest, Leith Hill tower from the bridle way/road opposite the Plough isn't a bad route. It goes past the extension of summer lightening (MTB trail) if you're into that.

The Plough's my local and I can highly recommend the Southern Jack burger & the beers brewed on site. Well worth stopping for lunch not really a cafe stop though, I'm sure they sell tea and coffee but can't say I've ever ordered it!

Fairly useful, not many cafes on there though. The one at the top of Newlands has closed. which is a shame as the young girls who served there were rather nice :P

Cheers everyone. Actually remembered when I was heading down Holmbury Hill that there is a little farm shop next to The Parrot Inn in Forest Green. It has a coffee machine hidden away at the back.

Had a cup of Tea Pigs English Breakfast and a treacle tart! Very nice.

Okay so it's in Westhumble rather than the Surrey Hills but it's a lovely little place with a bike shop too!

If you're doing Barhatch Lane or something like that, then the garden centre just outside Cranleigh is pretty bike friendly too. Stopped there on a few club rides in the past.
