I'm an ex Londoner(NW10) myself (For which I will ever be thankful ) but it still feels a like a rip off when compared to other greasy spoons around here.

There is another 'Biker' cafe just outside Cowbridge(an affluent area) which sells a decent mug of tea at 40p less than the WEC. If the WEC stuff was any good I wouldn't mind at all.

As I recall from many years back, the food in the Ace used to be quite reasonable and the tea actually contained tea.

You could try the little cafe attached to the petrol station in Sennybridge, the prices are a little cheaper, and its real food.

Is that on the A40 Mogs?

Yes. It on the left hand side when entering Sennybridge from the west, just before the speed limit drops to 30mph.

Or the right hand side if you are going westwards, just before it goes to an NSL....

Its not always open though, at least it wasnt when I usualy go past it !

Look, its at the correct end of the A40 though.

Yup, you are right there.... kinda goes crap once it leaves Wales !

Here is a tip to all who travel to the West End cafe. As I can be found in the cafe most Sunday mornings all year round at about 8am ( this provides a fairly plod free run to start the day ) , I feel I should share this info with you all.
I have watched with some amusement riders arrive on their exotic Italia costing many thousands of pounds more than humble SV's . They wear £300 alpine stars, £1000 plus matching leathers, £500 helmets and £160 gloves. With all this clobber on, they stumble about 100yds up the road where you can find several cafes open. This saves them 30p for a tea and 50p for the bacon butty. Once they are full, they return desperately looking for admiring glances from the poor souls who are unable to make such an arduous journey.
So if you are in need of saving a couple of bob, join the exotica and walk up the road. Frankly who cares what it costs, this is the start of biking heaven in any direction.

I think it's more a case of objecting to being ripped off for dishwater tea or coffee mate. Oh yes, and being short changed a few times too. I wouldn't buy there for exactly those reasons. As for the exotic biker gear, I haven't noticed a lot of that there. But there again, I don't go in for all that bitchy stuff, it doesn't bother me
