The Junction Lodge in Bradford

Gran lugar. Comida de calidad. Qué vergüenza sobre los fumadores que ignoran el aviso de no fumar en la cabaña principal. Tal vez no lo han visto como es un poco pequeño, y ahí está el uno. Tal vez los propietarios (si realmente no quieren que la gente fume) podrían poner avisos en las mesas, tanto fuera como dentro de los cobertizos. Yo y la gente con la que fui estábamos disgustados por el humo repulsivo que provenía de los cigarrillos de dos personas de la misma familia la tarde en que estuvimos allí. Aparte de eso, el lugar es un hallazgo muy agradable!

I make sure to stop at this lovely cafe when near Queensbury on my bike. The cakes are amazing (though not always ideal to overindulge for the climb back up the hill!) and the wooden huts are fab if it’s a bit chilly to be sitting on the benches outside. It’s just off the cycle track and you can keep a close eye on your bike whilst enjoying your pit stop. There is also a handy portaloo should you be in need!

The Junction Lodge is a superb walker’s cafe by the track leading to Thornton Viaduct. It’s got everything you could wish for on a walk around the area: warm welcome, good hearty food and - a real treat - a number of cabins to sit in if it’s too wet to sit outside. The bacon rolls are highly recommended. It opens Wednesday through to Sunday, 10-4. It was a real pleasure to come across this place. It’s an imaginative and creative venture and I hope it continues to do well.
