£7.25 for a breakfast!?

Better to meet over the road in McDonald's..... or even the cafe on the westbound carriageway just before Pont Abraham services.
feel free to suggest somewhere else (that isn't mcdonalds)

ETD regarding the regular coldra meets, criteria is somewhere within 15 minutes of cardiff

Sorry Ben hope you don't think I was thinking of an alternative to the coldra because I wasn't
Only posted this idea because people down west were looking for a meet nearer than Newport, the idea was within 20mins of Swansea, Llanelli,Llandeilo,Carmarthen etc ok mate

As i've posted in the other thread, i know of a better cafe, cheaper prices, better food literally a minute from the Little Chef, let me know if you'd like my suggestion, it has plenty of car parking spaces too smile

From the roundabout on the A48, don't take the turning in to Little Chef, take the next turning in to Crosshands Village. This will show up as Llandeilo Road on most maps/google maps. It's also the A476 towards Llanelli.

Drive through the first set of traffic lights/pedestrian crossing. At the next lights turn left on to Pontardulais Road.

Then turn left again in to Crosshands Shopping Square, Big Bite Cafe is directly infront of you, Sparesworld is on your also on your left.

Nice big car park, car park visible from the cafe if thats a concern and good food at reasonable prices, i can pick a menu up tomorrow if it will help for an idea of prices?

Literally 1 minute from the roundabout.

Now why didn't I think of that?!? Definately better location.

Perhaps we could alternate between there and Llandovery?!?

Sounds good. If we do it on a different Sunday to the East Wales one, people can have the option of going to both. scratchchin
When did we say the first one is?

Can someone provide a precise GoogleMaps location? Hopefully close enough for a convoy to leave from Cardiff. Cheers smile

Post code is close enough to SA14 6LR, use that if it helps, just remember to turn left at the lights.

SA14 6NT is the actual postcode for Big Bite, they are open from 8am.

Small breakfast is from £2.50 (Bacon, sausage, egg, beans & toast)
Breakfast 1 is £3.60 (Bacon, sausage, egg, chips, beans & toast)

Think the most expensive breakfast they have a is £5.

Hope this helps those of you who are going.

Sounds like some people will spend a fiver on petrol to save a pound on breakfast!

I wish I was able to attend more of the meets, is all about the people there, not the food!

Hey i'm only offering a suggestion, not making it 'The Law'! People were complaining that Little Chef charged £7+ for a breakfast, i knew of a place within 1 minute that was much cheaper with a better car park, so don't know where the extra £5 for petrol comes in to it smile
