The H Cafe in South Oxfordshire

After reading the MCN review I wanted to check this motorcycle cafe out. What a disappointment. The coffee can only be described as cheap and nasty, presume it was some form of bargain instant. The sausage baguette, why oh why do cafe owners serve low cost pap masquerading a meat sausages ? They were frankly of a level I would not give to a stray dog. Put your prices up and buy from a local butcher please, I’m sure you would see less bad reviews and most people wouldn’t mind paying a little extra. The baguette bread was good though, hence instead of 2star I went to 3. My mate had a sausage and bacon baguette and threw the sausages away and wished he had just had bacon. We were surprised that at lunchtime the place was virtually deserted, perhaps we were unlucky or other bikers eat elsewhere and just go there for the bike nights? A real pity, the owners have a great position with the infinity motorcycles next door, and the cafe interior is pleasant enough. They should perhaps take a ride up to the Super Sausage to see how it should be done. Sorry H - I really wanted to like your business!

"Exactly as I had hoped it would be". This was an unscheduled Pit Stop for me as I was gently scratching around the lanes of Berkshire and Oxfordshire and passed the H Cafe, spun round and popped in. Loads of bikes at 1pm on Sunday, as you would expect. Great meeting place. A Full menu on display, although just had a coffee that was Very Good quality. Friendly and smiley staff. Clean restaurant. Clean Toilets. Acceptable decor, although not studied in detail, as sat outside to get the measure of the people in the place and its was spot on for a Biker and Cafe. As a biker who started out on FS1E's and DT175's, its the atmosphere I want, not a fancy fit out, so great to see the H Cafe is trading well and is in good order. I will be back for a breakfast soon to check out the grub.

Good if you're just stopping for a quick drink/brew while on the bike but wouldn't bother with anything else. It's only got a 2 star rating for hygiene which doesn't bode well. Shame as the front of house staff are friendly and polite but the kitchen lets the place down.

What a let down. Have been past many times and always wanted to stop then finally got the chance. Ordered the famous five which is expensive for 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 egg. It took ages to arrive yet they still managed to under cook the egg and the white was liquid. Bacon had more fat than meat. Cheap watery baked beans. It came on a child sized paper plate with plastic knife and fork. £2 for an instant coffee in a polystyrene cup. Table was sticky and other tables not cleared even though it wasnt busy. Rationed to 1 tiny salt sachet and 1 non brand ketchup. No wonder this cafe in a prime position is empty at 10:30 in the morning

Alway love a trip over on weekend for ride out and Special H’s breakfast. Staff and customers very welcoming and you get a good look at motorcycle and cars ❤️while there

Been going here for years to meet up with bikers etc 2009 onwards Can't belive the place is still going. It's pretty grotty and food seems below par. Most I have is drinks and sealed snacks. The owner should spend some money on it and make it into a better roadside stop.

Truck stop style cafe near Oxford, popular with motor bike riders, but friendly and welcoming, cafe style food but sensibly priced, sit inside or out, eat in or takeaway. Handy if passing but not worth a special trip.

Proper greasy spoon on a busy road serving ok food. Breakfast was ok and I enjoyed it but not the comfiest cafe.

This place is so lovely to eat at. Very well priced food and a warm welcoming atmosphere when you arrive! One of my fave places for a quick breakfast

Honest caf. Hearty breakfast. See all the bikers on a dry Sunday morning. Freshly cooked food - good pit stop.

We go to this cafe at least 3 times a month and it’s always good. Great food with an old school setting. Also great to see all the Moto bikes that come and go.

I recently created a Midsomer Tour, we started our day at this great cafe, it was a Sunday morning and was very busy, loads of Bikers. The staff were brilliant, I had an accident with the salt, they without any question changed my breakfast. We both had the H Special, a great meal, good quality, hot and filling. I will certainly go back when in the area

This place is cheap & cheerful, perfect location for bikers, the food is cheap (which you can tell) but it's still tasty and a great base for meeting up on the bikes. Staff are friendly and it's a great place to sit and watch the bikes go by!

Friendly staff. Only had a bacon roll, quite tasty. Good place for a bike meet friendly atmosphere. Good place to see a few different bike's. Found nothing to dislike.

Good venue for bike ride out meeting place. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Bike shop next door. The food is average, portion size good but not great quality.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere, fantastic motorbikes and people. You get a good value breakfast with cup of tea included for a reasonable price. I went for the mega munch which is top class and very filling and it was nice to be able to sit and eat outside in the sunshine. The staff are friendly and the toilets are clean, we have been here a few times and met some nice people here

It is exactly what it is. For those of an age to remember the great British transport cafe this is a real treat. Good food at good prices with a steaming hot mug of tea or coffee. Having had to hang up my bike helmet owing to dexterity problems it's a real treat to see all the bikes and bikers that visit. This is the kind of cafe I used to rely on when I was commuting long distances on my bike. (In the old days, normal cafes didn't want 'biker types' lowering the tone of their establishments). One minor drawback - the loos need a good clean and spruce up. Other than that, take it for what it is. Enjoy a good, old fashioned full English.

Really nice breakfast, we had the "famous 5". A good range of food. I the food was served on hot plates I would have given 4 stars. Take note H-Cafe. Lots of parking space and friendly staff.

Title says it all. Been here a fair amount on ride outs and stopped for a bite to eat and a cuppa today. I love a ‘greasy spoon’ fry up but this takes the biscuit (wish I had one ) today. Great spot for bike meets but I’ll stick with a cuppa only from now on. Solid yolk snot dripping whites and almost uncooked bacon which was 2/3 fat. One mouthful then straight to bin. Should of got my money back really £5.25. Oh well

We stopped here on our way home, by just putting it in places to eat now.It is a classic greasy spoon/biker cafe, but of the best type for a very filling breakfast,very plesant staff,and very reasonable prices.

Food basic and filling, nice mug of tea , if you are a biker like me it's great,, but it's not the kind of place for everyone,, friendly staff , but uninspiring food , l will be back for the Biker atmosphere,

Service, menu, furnishings and decor are what you might expect for an old style transport cafe. That's fine by me; if you expect something finer then this is not the place for you! Bags of (bike) parking space and always other bike enthusiasts to share moans about car drivers with.

Jacket potato & salad, fresh and tasty. Staff were friendly and brought the food out quickly. Great to see the bikes coming & going. Ladies toilets closed and mens stinking. I may be a biker but I shouldn't have to put up with stinking toilets in 2018.

Went here as I was visiting the shop next door , wasn't expecting much and my expections were more than met , approached the counter and waited maybe 5 minutes before a young man came out and took our order , he was polite and agreeable ,

Turned up at around 11:30. Walked in and a few people eating but noticed the empty tables hadn't been cleared. Nobody at the counter to serve. Waited at the counter, and waited, and waited, and waited but nobody came to take my order, so I left.

This place is great for what it is. Its an old fashioned café serving simple food to bikers, workman, and passing people. There is nothing wrong with this, we need to hang on to places like this. Its clean, the food is good, and its great value.

Always driven by and seen the bikes parked outside and wondered what it was like. Went in today for something to eat, burger and chips was excellent, so was the lasagna and the sasauge, egg and chips.

Good place to meet if you're a biker due to location and area.

Lugar de reunión para tomar el té y bicicletas cuando el tiempo es cálido. Barato y alegre y no hace falta café cuchara grasienta.

Great atmosphere, very friendly and funny waitress serving nice food. Would recommend for anyone passing by. Just what we needed while out for the morning on the bikes. Only bad point was the cleanliness of the toilet.

Personas han sido bastante severo con este lugar en los comentarios. No es flash, que seguro. Así que si estás buscando una comida de campo con ambientes impresionantes y un menú, entonces debería ir a otro lugar. Es una cuchara grasienta!

The H cafe is a proper Cafe and a well known gathering place for motorcyclists. It's right next door to a decent motorcycle accessory shop as well, so a good destination for a ride out. The food is decent enough, but you wouldn't make the...

Me apareció en un desayuno tardío y taza después de no visitar durante varios años y me decepcionó que el nivel no ha mejorado. Aunque el fritos era razonable y baratas, el lugar parecía sucio y mal cuidado y la loos eran asquerosas - sucia y agua (o peor) en la planta por todos lados. Con un público cautivo de los ciclistas, seguramente fuera, no sería imposible modernizar este lugar. Una pena, ya que la ubicación es una parada genial cuando para un paseo, incluso estando al lado de una tienda de infinito. I plan de futuro para dar este paseos en un swerve hasta que oiga que han limpiado su acto.

Aunque un poco tosco, no se puede conseguir un buen café y algo de comer a un precio razonable en el cafe esta. ciclistas En una mañana soleada de sábado era un gran lugar para sentarse y observar el ir y venir de bicicletas. Utilizada en bicicleta deportes, muscle bike, clásico y propietarios de crucero, había algunas bellezas real en la pantalla. . . La bicicleta que es..

Metimos en un café. El olor del café, la taza es repugnante estaba sucia, pero el chico que sirve era amable. Uno para evitar para mí.

La comida era de buena calidad, no eran los ciclistas, pero el café tiene un ambiente amable realmente agradable debido a las ciclistas

Lugar genial para ir en un día agradable en la moto. Hay un montón de gente amable por charlar con y una tienda de bicicletas justo al lado. La comida no es la mejor calidad y un poco caro para lo que es, pero aún así vale la pena levantarse de allí para un lugar de neumático pataleando y una hamburguesa.

Stopped here with a group of friends for breakfast on a Sunday motorcycle run. Excellent breakfast great value for money, nice big mug of tea for a £1, full big breakfast for under £8

Always good food here. Nice famous five breakfast. I've been coming here for years and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I've driven past H cafe a million times and yesterday decided to stop.Here you have a good old greasy spoon ( not a bad thing) no pretensions and delivers exactly what you expect. Decent full English with mug of tea for around £6.I'll definitely stop here more often.

Had a great meal at the H cafe, the breakfast special for me is the one. Great value for money and very pleasant staff.

Sausage, eggs, beans, bacon,hash browns....all you need from a good fry up.Clean cafe, reasonable prices, quick service, no frills and big plates. Seemed to be family friendly too. Not sure what the rest of the menu included..but would reccomend for a nice weekend breakfast/lunch.

The H Café is located in amongst some good biking roads and is very visible on a roundabout, hence its a good place to meet up with Biker friends. The Café itself is in need of updating especially the toilets which are not good. The food is good and at a reasonable cost, Breakfast will cost you a little over £4 and a coffee just over £2 so a total of £6 which is about right for Egg, Bacon, Sausage & Beans with Toast. The food is presented ok and is hot and not too greasey. This place could be a whole lot better with some money spent on it. Its not has good has the Ace Café on all levels.

I live quite close to the H Cafe and whilst not a regular, It's not unusual to head over for a Sunday morning fry-up to get the day started (or finish the night before). I've also used the Cafe for the occasional meeting, and very good that has been too.The H Cafe is totally unpretentious. What you see is what you get, and what you get is lots of good, well-cooked food, served on a real plate with hot tea served in a real mug. It's not expensive and even when busy the wait is never too long. Monday nights are busiest, by the way, as it hosts a massive biker meet every week.Haute cuisine it is not, but then again that's not why people come here.Highly recommended if you simply fancy a good hearty feed.

Top cup of tea and bacon sarnie. If you want a warm and friendly cafe to stop at on a ride out then this is the place. The big breakfast is a monster

The worst food in my life! Sausage and mash how hard is it? Disgusting sausages taste of nothing and I wonder what they are made of. The worst cheap Asda stuff?? Tasteless gravy and peas hard as bullets ready made mash I would not give to my dog? And took for ever to be served too though place not busy at all.At least is cheap but event wasting 6£ and risking to get sick doesn't appeal to me!Stay away! Even if a bikers stop is not worth a visit!

Arrived at the H cafe after a ride out on a hot dayThis Cafe is biker friendly plenty of parkingFriendly staffNice cup of tea Very extensive menu at reasonable pricesMy omelette tasted very goodMy mates panini was given the thumbs up Next door is a motorcycle accessories shopWhich has an extensive range of helmets and clothing. RegardsMichael Harvey

Found the cafe in passing. Great freshly made sandwich, clean and tidy and a meeting place for the biking fraternity.Well worth a visit.

es un excelente bar, tome unas birras que eran una delicia, aunque un poco fuertes, tienen bastante alcohol.

Lovely cafe, toilets need some work, great staff and lovely food, nice feel about the whole place.plenty of room to park up and seating outside very good, will make it more regular a visit now I've been there.

I stopped off there today for a mug of tea and to use the restrooms. There where a few bikers there that had parked their bikes in a long line across the car park effectively blocking the car park for car users. I had to wait until 3 or 4 of them standing chatting decided to allow me to drive onto the car park. The staff were very friendly and they tell me it is not just a bikers café they have regular monthly classic car and hot-rod nights, last Thursday of each month. Monthly Mini Meet, second Thursday of every month. Also the MG car club events. Don't get me wrong I had one of the first superbikes in the UK a Honda 750 4. So I am not anti bikers. I am 69 years old so now I drive a Jaguar. All the bad guys in Hollywood are English and they drive Jaguars

As a biker, I of course enjoy my weekly visits at the 'H' on a Monday evening in the summer months. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly, and considering the hundreds of visitors, it is heartening to find that they remember regulars.

Called in for breakfast yesterday on the way to an all day meeting. The plate of breakfast was as big as the welcome we were given. In these days of franchised outlets selling fast food in polystyrene boxes and cups with lids it was really refreshing to be in a traditional roadside cafe serving mugs of tea with freshly cooked food on china plates and metal cutlery.Will definitely call in again if passing.

Great bike stop for cuppa, bacon roll and bike chatter! Really friendly and welcoming, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and massive parking area. Highly recommended.

Was ok for a bikers cafe. Food ok. Had apple pie and ice cream. Was really nice. Infinity bike shop next door. Plenty of outdoor setting and places to park your bike. Will pop in again

Excellent meeting place for bikers, quality of food is what you would expect. The toilets are in desperate need of an upgrading (Take a good look as to what McDonalds provide)

Sunday afternoon, 1pm. Had the Mega Munch, which is huge. Plenty of everything.Still the same surly-ish staff and not overly clean place, but awesome nonetheless. Lots of friendly bikers there as well.

Great place for bikers to rest and drink/eat a bit after a rideout, or before starting off on one; convenient place just south of Oxford (in Berinsfield) to meet others before a ride; basic wholesome food (you don't go there just for the food exactly); sit on one of the many picnic tables at the front when the weather's decent (or if you don't want to shed your riding togs to sit inside); watch for your mates to arrive. Even interesting if you only want to ogle all the many kinds of motorbikes. The biker shop 'Infinity' is conveniently right next door if you need something. But if you are riding in the area, watch out for the loonies who want to show off how 'clever' they are at speeding or wheelies or stoppies, etc.

Ok for a bike stopover but the hygiene standards are woeful compared to McDonalds etc. One of the last greasy spoons left that should be a museum piece, down to earth and for the masses.

Feeling hungry while on the road and needing a bite of lunch.It is clearly a bikers type of place and perhaps it is highly praised as a bikers meeting place.As a lunch spot, it is rather grim.Tatty car park, typical old style cafe menu, fair pricing and below average decor.I had a small breakfast. It was ok, sausage the old style deep fried Walls and the bacon still rather fatty.Look elsewhere.

Its good low key place to vist, chat with othetr bikers, friendly. Just what it says on the can. Great for meeting up before or after a ride out. Great social meeting point and nearly always something good to see or going on

Great petrol head Café. For the best experience you need to enter into the spirit of things. Not the place for shrinking violets!

During the summer this place is packed on weekends . Even if your not a bike fan ,you can still get some lovely food cafe grub. If you're a bike fan,then this is definitely a place to stop for a rest in the summer . it's open during the winter too. Very friendly staff plus you can sit outside and watch the world zoom passed. There's a Monday night meet up during the summer so there's plenty to look at for bike fans . I pop there sometimes as I love bikes and love their breakfast.

This cafe has had a few names over the years, and has never seemed to improve much. OK it's typical "caff" food but that doesnt mean it has to be bad. A big breakfast is over £6 and you get a fair chunk of it on the plate, but the quality is questionable (dire econo-sausages) and it isn't the bargain you might think. Has a following with bikers and a hot rod/custom car night but a strange atmosphere and the feeling you are never quite welcome.

Stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The breakfast was great - a full English for about £6. Eager to take your money before you can find a table to sit at, which I found rather odd. Popular with motorcyclists but a bit cliquey which put me off.

This place is always very popular with bikers - not surprising given it's handy location on a junction in the middle of some good biking roads. Car park is usually full of bikes, with some cars parking on the road outside. Food is simple "caff" fare - all-day breakfasts, fry-ups, and so on - but good quality and very reasonably priced. I had a rather good mushroom omelette, chips and peas with a coffee today for just £6 - can't complain about that.

Go here whenever I'm in the vicinity, a few times per month. Decent food at decent prices. Atmosphere depends what time of day/week and what is on. For a biker meeting place not that welcoming or friendly, a reflection of today's biker culture.

Always enjoy going for a massive fried breakfast and a brew either on my bike when the weather is dry or pop up on the weekend in the car. Staff are friendly and fun, loads of bikes to look at. Great place and great prices!

Yes, it is a cheap greasy spoon. If you want poncey, fancy - schmanchy atmosphere and food, then avoid. Go to Claridges in London and spend £100 per person. However, if you want a great and inexpensive (less than £6) British breakfast fry-up, then ignore the slightly rude service and slightly not - quite - clean - enough tables and enjoy.

Listen, it's a greasy spoon. But, it's a greasy spoon with a fantastic atmosphere and hundreds of motorbikes. That makes it a fantastic place to ride out to - and we go there regularly.

A popular cafe that caters for all with its excellent breakfasts, burger or even just a cuppa. Situated between Dorchester and Berinsfield on the A4074 roundabout, this cafe is a great meeting place for all. You will normally find a selection of cars, trucks and even tractors BUT most definitely motor bikes. Monday evenings is a regular bike meet when you may find literally hundreds of bikes from vintage to custom to modern sports bikes. Decent sized portions of hearty food with mugs of hot tea.
