Snail’s Pace Café
This ‘off-grid’ gem is an absolute favourite. Located at the start of the Camel Trail in Wenfordbridge, park up in the free car park, bring the dog, bring the baby, bring your bikes and enjoy some of their fabulous food...some healthy, some hearty, all delicious. Keep an eye out for their World Food Supper Clubs – they are always a huge hit.
