Situated in the centre of Leyland, The Chequered Flag is a little biker-friendly café that offers a selection of delicious delicacies.

However, I’m going to be claiming the chocolate sponge in mint custard when I get around to going! Don’t forget to make your way there on a Tuesday or Friday evening if you don’t want to miss bike night!

The Destination

Over at The Destination, they serve some lovely plates like burgers, salads, sandwiches, and fish and chips. Either way, it looks lovely, and you have the temptation of shopping for gear after!

Saddle Inn

If you pass by The Saddle Inn, we’d definitely recommend stopping for a bite to eat! They have a full range of home-cooked meals on offer, and if you’re stopping overnight – they’ve got plenty of a selection behind the bar (I’m eying up their 25 different gins). Voted in the top 10% restaurants across the world by Tripadvisor, we’re definitely going to give this friendly pub a go!
