New cafe at Maythorne - Maythorne Lane (narrow), off Upper Kirklington Road, just outside Southwell. Was an old fishing lodge by lake, has been extensively renovated, plenty of seating inside and out, great position overlooking lake. The proprietor has won awards for her cakes - and very good they are too, though pricey at £3.95 a piece. 200 degree coffee, so good fresh coffee, again pricey at £3.10 for flat white and £2.55 for americano. There are not serving breakfasts yet but are planning to with a more extensive menus of snacks etc. At present open Thursday to Sunday but will be also opening Wednesdays soon.

whoops - Maythorne Lane off Lower Kirklington Road

We finally got around to going to this café, albeit in the car, as it was raining yesterday. All the cakes are gluten-free which is why they are a bit pricey, as the ingredients cost more. They have also started trialling bacon, sausage and egg cobs, but these are an eye-watering £6.50 each, more than twice the price of the Kingfisher café that we go to on Saturdays.
The café isn't that big and it was full yesterday. There is some outside seating if the weather was OK. George Minion's daughter Tracy is the manager. It's probably not suitable for a club ride but OK for a smaller group.
Still high prices - perhaps trying to recoup some of the building renovation costs as well!
Paul and I visited Newark (in the rain Friday!) and called at the Artisan Cafe (Chain Lane - so not accessible for a group of bikes), everything was gluten free and/or dairy free, prices were very reasonable £1-95 for cake, flapjacks etc. Not that we are gluten averse - just so happened they had the best selection of nibbles and reasonable priced coffee to boot.
Lew, Tom and I went today. I thought it was excellent , true a bit pricey but they welcome cyclists! I'll be returning.
