This Thursday (20th November), our amazing café crew will be swapping their aprons for gladrags as they head to the South West Tourism Awards – we’re finalists for Café/Tearoom of the Year again!
Last year we picked up a silver, so we are keeping our fgingers crossed we can go one better this time!
We’re beyond proud of our amzing cafe team and crossing everything for a shiny trophy to bring home! 🤞✨
This does mean the café will be closing early at 4pm on Thursday, so no late-night food for one week only.
But don’t worry… we’ll be back to normal next Thursday, hopefully with an extra sparkle in our step (and maybe another award on the shelf!

Night riding is like discovering the Forest of Dean all over again!
Think familiar trails with a whole new look and feel, a great excuse to level up your skills.
Pedal Syndicate’s Shop Night Rides happen once a month and end with food in the café. Honestly… bikes + trails + warm dinner = perfection.
We have Intermediate or Advanced groups, so come ride with one of our friendly team, and feel ultra confident rolling into the darkness!

Get ready… our Christmas-inspired menu is on its way, and it’s packed with deliciousness. Think:
🍔 Festive burgers with a gravy dip (yes, really!)
🍗 Buttermilk fried turkey burgers
🌱 Nut roast melts
🧀 Brie bites
🍟 Loaded sprout fries (trust us… they are soooo good!)
Our two fires (yep, two!) are crackling away every day, the coffee is top-tier, and Mary’s cakes are calling your name.
Whether you’ve been out riding, walking, or just fancied a cosy forest escape, we’ve got a warm seat waiting for you.
October is here and the chill has definitely set in! The days are shorter, the evenings darker, and yes… the rain has made a comeback. But you know what that means? Perfect grip on the trails and the return of night riding adventures!
We’ve packed this month with plenty to keep you rolling through autumn: exciting events, tasty food, and hot drinks to warm those chilly fingers.


We’re bringing autumn vibes in full force with our very own FOD October Fest! Swing by the café and treat yourself to our special menu featuring a Bavarian Smash Burger, Currywurst Fries, and large Salted Pretzels. It’s the perfect post-ride refuel.
