As one might guess going from my profile picture, I'm a keen motorcyclist. Unfortunately motorcyclist and 'biker' are synonymous so when searching for new places to go and, in particular, new rest stops it becomes necessary to search the interweb for "biker cafes". I did this very thing yesterday, being at a loose end and fancying a ride to somewhere I've never been before, but without doing the whole 200 miles for fish & chips thing. So I punched "biker cafes" into Google and one of the places it suggested was The Bike Shed Cafe, next to the George Inn, just off the Gordano services exit of the M5. Suited up, I headed out for a pleasant enough ride and eventually stopped at The Bike Shed Cafe. With it being a bank holiday I fully expected it to be heaving with bikers, erm, sorry, motorcyclists. On arriving, though, there was only one other bike in the car park. As I was taking off my gloves and helmet the other guy on a motorbike approached his bike, as he was just leaving. We had a few minutes chat and a laugh among one another that we'd both done the same thing; asked Google to suggest a new place and had ended up here. As it happens, The Bike Shed Cafe caters more for your outdoorsy types and looking at the rack of mountain bikes just outside, the penny finally dropped that motorcyclists aren't quite the demographic they were targeting when this brainchild was first born into this world. The other guy and myself had a bit of a chuckle about that. However, my amusing (or not) anecdote about how I found this little place aside, let's get to the good stuff. Because good it absolutely is, and in reality I don't suppose they care whether you turn up on a motorcycle, a mountain bike or on horseback, we all spend the same money after all. The Bike Shed Cafe is a small annexe next to the George Inn. One presumes they are mutually affiliated. There is ample parking and being on the main road it is not difficult at all to find. The Bike Shed itself is a small outbuilding at the end of the carpark with a pleasant decked area adjacent for outdoor seating. It all looks and feels quite modern and well thought out. Inside I was greeted by a couple of nice young ladies who took my order and brought it out to me. The coffee was quite excellent - let's be honest, even in a world where it is impossible to throw a tea bag without hitting a coffee shop, really good coffee is not that common. I'm pleased to report that my americano with oat milk was at least a 9/10. On display at the counter was a vast selection of sweet cakey things which looked so tempting, but I'm trying to lose weight so I did my best to resist, but it was touch and go! I also ordered a cheese and chilli jam toastie, and again I was impressed with my choice. The bread was nice and thick and the cheese was oozing out of the sandwich so there was no skimping on any of the ingredients. Unfortunately, my diet was put on hold a bit yesterday after all! It came with a bitter green garnish of salad, but a few crisps on the side in addition would not have been unwelcome. Overall, though, it was most excellent and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little coffee stop to anyone. It's highly unlikely but I hope my review gets enough attention from the motorcycle community to make this place a different kind of Bike Shed and next time I stop by there are a couple of dozen 'bikers' enjoying coffee and toasties in the bank holiday, ahem, sun.

Great Sunday brunch. Good choice and good healthy options.

Firstly the bus cafe wasn't open here, and you need to wear a mask to purchase from the shop. They do some lovely produce and the baps are amazing value, it is a proper rustic food lovers paradise. A good selection of meats, pies, fish, vegetables and beers and ciders are available. Nice place to visit, pick up supplies if your passing by, also about the only thing close to the nearby Holiday Inn. Good spot..

It has everything you need good service great food lovely staff big fluffy dog to cuddle good in the day and at night I come here every day and never disappointed try it out for yourself

This is a basic old fashioned pub, but in a nice way, with a good selection of beer. The food is a selection of pub classics and sandwiches. All are excellent quality and value but beware. The portions are large! Staff were very friendly

So we have lived here for a few years and Papa’s has always had a good reputation and today we really fancied Fish n chips. We waited politely at the “wait to be seated” sign and were studiously ignored by a tall blond lady chatting with a small woman in a black trilby. When they were good and done with their discussion we were crammed into a corner and given menus. It doesn’t take long to be honest, does it, to chose your meal but when we asked if we could order we were told that we were “in a queue”. The restaurant was fairly empty at this point. The table behind us also heard this retort and we exchanged glances and chatted about how odd the whole vibe was, snarly and decidedly unfriendly. We’d already got a bad feeling so probably ordered less than we may have. The food came fairly fast and was very generous and the fish was nice, well cooked with good home made chips . But the waitresses were so snarly and straight faced and unpleasant it kinda ruined the whole experience. I heard her with some tourists who wanted to share a meal and wanted to go and apologise for our country and its rudeness. Next I heard the small one snap at a table of ladies saying “I told you that wasn’t included” and watched them share an awkward look. We finished, paid and no-one asked if the meal was OK, or if we’d like anything else, they just are not interested at all. The food is pretty good but I would REALLY avoid eating in as the service here is so cold and unpleasant- it is really uncomfortable and for £43 I honestly don’t think a smile or a thank you is too much to ask? Or better still choose another as there’s plenty of place who might appreciate our trade.

On a sunny day, our group of six planned to visit Nick’s to enjoy a meal and drinks by the seafront. Upon arrival, a waitress approached us with a notably dismissive attitude, informing us that we couldn’t sit at an available table. Her tone was so discourteous that another patron nearby remarked to his partner about her rudeness towards potential customers. When my daughter politely inquired about waiting for a table, the waitress responded sharply, questioning where we intended to wait. Disheartened by this treatment, we decided to take our business next door to Smith’s. Reflecting on the experience, I’m relieved we chose Smith’s, where we felt our £200 was well spent. Interestingly, a similar incident occurred last year at nicks bar. It seems that to work at Nick’s, one might need to emulate the demeanor found at Karen’s Diner.

Ordered a pint and a vodka n diet coke which was flat and pint wasn't all that

My first impression of Cafe Marina was very good. A little crowded, but I was eating at 10.30am during the Sunday breakfast rush. It’s a strange location, on the periphery of a business park, but inside the cafe is a little Aladdin’s cave of delicious food and lovely staff. It was a bit tricky to help myself to cutlery given how crowded and busy the cafe was, and there was a 30 min wait for food, but when it arrived, it was well worth it. I would probably say don’t come here for a quick breakfast if it’s at peak times, but if you’re a foodie and don’t mind a lazy weekend morning - you must go and try it. I heartily recommend the ‘Leaner Marina’ which is a less carby full English inc spinach and avocado. Lovely and colourful, and not at all greasy. A lovely experience all in, thank you!

Excellent food. Very polite and friendly service.

Came here with friends. Attended a wedding the day before so we thought to finish off the weekend

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Cheap drinks and food, so cheap and cheerful. You can't go wrong. Lots of indoor space aswell as outdoor space.
