As per BB's suggestion, please post up your recommendations, suggestions and ideas for any type of place that is "biker friendly" (and this is for all types of two wheelers and trikes) and also advise on accessibility for the disabled.
Pubs, clubs, cafes, regular meeting places- anything or anywhere that is pro-biker and try and give as much detail (contact numbers, addresses, websites etc) as possible.
Conversely, if you have ever been prejudiced against by an establishment, group or place, let us know and the biking fraternity will take their valued custom elsewhere.
Off you go then, people.

In bletchely, milton keynes. Fits the bill altgho I'm not 100% sure on disabled access. Has a nice big car/bike/trike park which is viewable from inside the pub just so you can keep an eye on your pride and joy when you're having a pint.

Woburn bloody safari park.
Turned up on me bike, and they refused entry. They muttered something about ''lion enclosures'' but that's just a cover story I'm sure. I'm thinking of getting MCN to do an expose of their bare-faced anti-bike prejudice.

Perhaps they'll let you through and offer to make a video of your visit, next time!

Maybe if you promise to empty your pockets of raw steak they would be more sympathetic?

I can tell you where NOT to go thats for sure.
Don't ever stop in Knowesgate in Northumberland. I was refused service there. In the one Cafe.
When I mentioned to my Newcastle mates they just laughed and said "we thought everybody knew not to stop there - they are a shower of bastards!"

Each of us knows one or more good caffs. Thought you'd like to know about my local. If you're tripping to the east coast sometime, get to Felixstowe and find the Bradfield Viewing Point. Right on Felixstowe Harbourside and looking across the bay to Harwich.
Sam, a friendly young lady, operates out of a converted shipping container. Today I had double egg & chips and a mug of tea for £2.60. Healthy eater, me. Egg, bacon, soft bap, tea is £2.70.
Sam has been on TV cookery programmes twice. How many caff operators do you know who are that good?
There are places that rip you off with a fiver for a glorified 'sandwich', and look down their noses at bikers. We've all met 'em.
So let's be hearing about the good ones and the dud ones.

Good point. One was Ready, Steady, Cook; t'other was one where cooks do their thing for a panel of experts. Sam says she's been offered more TV work as she's young and fairly good looking for a cheffy type person. No obscene lingo too, which has got to be a f-----g improvement on f-----g Gordon f-----g Ramsay hasn't it.
You're a cop, so you know more about caffs than anyone else as you spend so much time stopped in them. (Well, my county cops do; have seen three patrol cars parked at one). So which caffs do you rate? Or is the 'works' canteen so good you don't need to mix with the general pubic? Cops here use the Cafe de Tesco as it's about 1/4 mile from county HQ. Have seen 20 in there at one time.
-------------------------------------------------
Rode yesterday past the roadside murder sites of two of the five Ipswich prostitutes. Well, where they were dumped. Little crosses have been put up and flowers are still placed there. Cops did a good job on that one.
Keep up the good work. Less paperwork, more patrolling.
