If you can find a map, it's on the left about 1 mile out of the centre of Todmorden on the Halifax road. Just look for some bikes out side an old pub with a sign on it that says "Big D's Biker's Cafe". If you hit the 40mph zone you've gone a couple of hundred yards too far.

Is it on the north side or the south side?

Going North into Todmorden(real LOTR name that), there's a east/west fork.
Is it before the fork?

Squires moved a few years ago now, just out of the village back toward the old A1, they bought the New inn pub at newthorpe, it had been shut for a few years and they moved in, its a much better location with a massive car park and overflow for the summer, but theyve never spent any money on the place, apart from building a new tea hut in the car park to lessen the queues in the summer, and then that only gets opened when its really really busy, so most of the time you still end up waiting ages. its a great place to hang out , but its getting pretty crappy inside, i think that the owners are of the opinion that people come here regardless so why invest, espec if theyre trying to get out of it......... dont get me wrong they arent running it into the ground, it gets busier and busier, but it needs some money spending on it.....

Whereabouts in the "north west" are you? so I know which direction you're coming from?
The cafe's on the A646 Halifax Road, heading East in the Castle Street/Lobb Mill area.

Looked on google earth I see it now. That A646 looks like a cracking bit of road. What's it like for traffic?

It's 30 & 40mph limit and can get busy on weekends especially.
(did once race a guy on an R6 when I had my sv between Tod and Hebden Bridge.....I was doing 110 when he overtook me, we came round a slight bend to find a Police car coming towards us, we slowed very quickly and went our seperate ways.......and no, I know it's not big or clever but I can see that now I'm older )
