I know it's just over the border, but I remember "Bobbies Cafe'", Millthorpe. It was a really great little cafe' that was situtated at the bottom of Millthorpe Lane (now converted into two bungalows). Ideal for people that had been walking round the local countryside. The place had a classic 1960's interior with the brightly coloured tables and 1960's style lampshades that made it look and feel like a seaside ice cream parlour.

The food was wholesome and they served gorgeous kickerbocker glorys and milky coffees - from a big shiny metal machine back of the counter - all pipes n steam.
