Kirkley Cafe Extremely popular with cyclists and a touch of normality during Covid restrictions.  This was one of our &amp;quot;Covid havens&amp;quot; where there was a human buzz much needed during the dreaded lockdowns. Cyclists would arrive in dribs and drabs as the participation in cycling increased during Covid because it was one of the few sports people could continue to be involved. Decent food and really pleasant staff.  THANK YOU.
12th July 2023 I was invited to play golf at Matfen by my friend Roger who I met at college in 1965. The other pairing was Peter and Tim ---- it turned out that Tim owned the Kirkley Cafe so some of the conversation centred around those visits and Ponteland memories. Another great day.
