Does anyone know a decent walk in motorcycle tyre shop in the Stratford/Warwick area, or a sensible distance away?

We've had a puncture. I hope to get a repair, as there's still plenty of tread left and money's tight, but if not I need a replacement Metzeler Z6. Tried search but not found anything of use (probably operator error, though).

[The story:

We set off on a family trip out early yesterday. 10 miles in we stop at traffic lights and the Mrs says her bike's handling really weird at the back and asks did I check pressures before we left? We pull over and the rear tyre's down to 10psi. Damn! A nail in the tyre - slow puncture. Proves she knows her SV, at least!

She wasn't willing to ruin the first dry day out in ages, so I pushed the nail further in, out of the way, added tyreweld and put sense aside for a bit. 250+miles later we get home after a grand day out, but now I need to sort out a proper fix asap.
