Dave the Renegade:
I have eaten at some good cafe’s over the years. Have been in a few that left a lot to be desired, so gave them a miss after that. There are still some good cafes about. The Midway and The Raven at Prees Heath are two that still do good grub.
My top 3 cafes in UK are:
Doug’s Diner Penrith
The sit in caravan at Newton Aycliffe service stn off A1.
Chalet Cafe at Cowfold
All home cooked type food, and clean, all with overnight parking with “generous” parking receipts
