NY500 Café. A petrolhead's must-do destination in North Yorkshire

[@alunjones2550]

Group B, not Group A........🙃

[@Banditmanuk]

@alunjones2550 Yes, someone has already reminded me. It's even more embarrassing that I got my correction wrong in the edit! I'm a bike guy not a car guy.

[@RichardASK]

You beat me to it. The group B cars were absolute rocket ships but were just too quick for the terrain, on which they were used and were banned after brilliant World Champion Henri Toivonen and co driver Sergio Cresto were killed on the Corsican Rally.

[@Banditmanuk]

@RichardASK Yes, some super powerful rally cars, but probably the correct decision.

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog]

Wow absolutely amazing and awesome place to see my friend. Great sharing and very nice video.

[@Banditmanuk]

@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog Very nice of you to say. It's a great place and we will be back. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@Tojj29]

Love the Italian Job Minis on the roof👌 Love it when grown men still talk about their Choppers😉🤣 Being an old fart now, wasn't it lovely to see how polite, well mannered and friendly that young lad was that served you. Nice to see. That looks an amazing place to visit, food looked superb. Thanks guys, one to keep a note of when we're up that way.

[@Banditmanuk]

@Tojj29 Not sure those minis were more than just a shell. Arr, choppers, no social media back in the 70's. You got ya chopper out. 🤣 Staff were brilliant there. I had asked if I could film in there and they were very obliging. Food was good, we will be back

[@thebristolthunderbird]

I remember those choppers! A thing of desire when I was a kid.

[@Banditmanuk]

@thebristolthunderbird They weren't that good as their primary job as a peddle cycle, but they looked cool and you could just about squeeze a close friend on that long seat.

[@chrisbutlersmith9970]

Good review and thank you both for bringing this place to my attention. Merry Xmas and Happy New year. Cheers Chris 🍻

[@Banditmanuk]

No problem Chris. We just appreciate you watching. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New year

[@jbconno]

The Capri was the one they featured on Car SOS a few years back.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@jbconno That's interesting. I must have missed that episode. I loved my JPS 3.0L (until you touched the throttle on damp roundabouts!)

[@Steviegtr52]

I live a stones throw from Squires & visit 3 times weekly with friends. Many have been to the NY500 but I have yet to go. We have passed it many times on the bikes. Maybe somewhere to go next year in my TVR. Thanks for revue. Food looked very well presented too. Steve.

[@Banditmanuk]

@Steviegtr52 I think the NY500 is probably more of a car destination. We love our motorcycles but a TVR is very special. Appreciate you watching and Merry Christmas

[@simonhirst5454]

Have you been to the Motorist , that isn’t far from you if you live near Squires .

[@Steviegtr52]

@@simonhirst5454 Hi Simon , Yes i recently went. Again after all my friends were saying how nice it was. I was not dissapointed. A destination for this coming summer in the TVR for sure. Go & rattle some windows with the sound. If you go that way again & want food. Go down the track & instead of turning right into the Motorist car park , go straight on & you will come to the Sherburn aero club. Apparently the cafe does very nice food & quite cheap as well. Regards. Steve.

[@simonhirst5454]

@ I sometimes go the Motorist in my Tvr when the weather is good, I will have to give sherburn aero club a try next year when the weather is better. Simon

[@Steviegtr52]

@@simonhirst5454 Ah i didn't realise you also had a TVR. What model is it.

[@Scott-ph2yk]

Fun! Glad you had a good time there. Ride safe.

[@Banditmanuk]

Thank you and tanks for watching. have a great Christmas

[@cloudmaker]

Nice one, that yellow pickup used to be parked on the grass on the junction to show the new turn in, I think as it was growing it may have been a lot safer to use that existing side road rather than exit and enter in a little turn off directly on/off that main road as it looks like it could be quite a fast road, can't remember if there was a speed limit there. Looks like they've altered the outside area a bit since I was there. Did just catch a glimpse of this place on bangers and cash a few weeks back, think they were taking something there, speaking of which you could see the Mathewson's too as it's only just up the road, which is where I went to after the NY500. By the way is there such a thing as the NY500? You know like the NC500. If not I wonder if they called it that just in case a North Yorkshire 500 was coming. This was when I last called; kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGXo6F7irFnrbM All the best to you both.

[@Banditmanuk]

@cloudmaker Our sat nav sent us to the wrong entry, so we had turn around. I was quite busy. Not sure if there is a circuit of Yorkshire also called the NY500, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was. It's all invented marketing to get tourists and certainly worked in Scotland with the NC.

[@cloudmaker]

@@Banditmanuk Yes the NC500 has been a huge success for northern Scotland, we've done the route but we took our time doing it, two years actually! We did it all bar a small section above Inverness. Which was done the following year! 😉👍

[@typhoon2827]

What I liked about this is how they told us where it is straight away...

[@Banditmanuk]

@@typhoon2827 No messing around us! Thanks for watching

[@martinowl]

Called in there last summer, around one of the bank holidays. The scooter boys & girls were meeting up there before heading to the coast. Must have been 100 of em. What a 2 stroke racket when they left!

[@Banditmanuk]

@martinowl I've owned several two-stroke motorcycles back in the 80s. Love the sound and smell. Thanks for watching

[@martinowl]

Had 3 or 4 myself. Agree do like the sound of a twin or triple , especially the Kawasaki ones. My cz175 didn’t sound so sexy though!😂. Remember the smell of Castro R as well at the tracks.

[@Banditmanuk]

@martinowl They need to bottle that Catrol R smell and sell for Christmas. Love it, you can almost picture the race tracks.

[@IanTed]

Old enough to remember the cars, friend had a Mk1 Mexico, full rally spec, it was fun as was my XR2. It’s much more a car meeting place but I still think it’s worth a visit on the bike…good food and coffee.

[@Banditmanuk]

Yes, you're probably correct. But at least they don't charge to park like Caffeine & Machine. Food and coffee were spot on. My first car was the Mk 2 Ford Escort that a mate and I did a larger engine swop on. Then a JPS 3.0l Capri that I nearly lost my license with.

[@johnbellamy6449]

hi Richard and Carol , nice place to visit and the food you ordered looked great .

[@Banditmanuk]

@@johnbellamy6449 We enjoyed it John. A nice place to visit

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

A very nice place. Interesting to see all those cars and bikes. Some stuff were for sale. Great. Carol said that the coffee was good. :)

[@Banditmanuk]

@RRRRefuelRideRace I quite fancied one of those light up big Yamaha signs. One would look good on your wall 👍 An interesting place to visit

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@Banditmanuk Yeah, Yamaha would go nicely on our walls. :) Can check my community tab when you can. :)

[@michaellilley6725]

Thanks Richard and Carol for showing us around this very well appointed café. Plenty of goodies to catch the eye and the food looked spot on as well. I can see Santa with that Yamaha sign in his sack coming down your chimney. Obviously a lot of money was invested in this place but sadly like many others it’s now not profitable enough to open all week. Even on the Sunday you visited it seemed fairly quiet. I hope some of your viewers support it.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@michaellilley6725 Yep, its tough for any small business. New minimum wage, increased NI and gas and electricity prices through the roof. The trouble with bikers, is they don't head out so much during the winter months and this place isn't really in walking distance of any big built up areas.

[@garrywilliams4537]

Busy with bikes in the nicer weather, did you notice the buckets of yellow plastic (what I think are) scaffold pole bases there to use as side stand pucks? It’s not one of our go to spots, but a bit different for a cuppa every now and and then.

[@Banditmanuk]

I didn't notice the pucks, but it's a nice idea, especially if it's busy and you're parking on grass or soft areas. Our first visit, but will hopefully return on the bikes at some point. Thanks for watching

[@mrcintheuk4641]

As a southern softie that's way far too north for me but looks like a good place to stop off on a bike ride for the locals. I have one rule for automotive cafes, if it charges for parking then avoid it like the plague. Chopper bikes were a classic case of style over function, which could be said for many motorbikes over the years.

[@Banditmanuk]

@mrcintheuk4641 I guessing to mean Caffeine & machine? I wouldn't go there again for exactly the reasons you say. Certainly, there are no signs of charging to park here. The food was good, but it's a bit far north for us to use regularly.

[@leeronaldwalker2635]

It’s definitely worth a visit in the summer, especially on a weekend,seem to be a good stop off point for bikers and car club ride outs .

[@Banditmanuk]

@leeronaldwalker2635 Yep, we didn't see it at it's best in December, but we were passing so called by. We will be back on the bikes in the summer. Thanks for watching 👍

[@RobertTrombley-g6l]

Used to ride out there for a bacon sarnie on my Indian scout before I moved away,nice food too.does get busy during decent riding weather.

[@Banditmanuk]

We would have loved to have visited on our motorbikes, sadly we were in the car on this occasion. Thanks for watching

[@simonchilli2088]

I thought the price was quite steep until the food came out! It looked awesome👍👍

[@Banditmanuk]

@@simonchilli2088 Yep, delicious and plenty of it. Salad super fresh, quality sausage in Carol's meal and proper flat white coffee

[@Motoramblings]

Very cool place!! And a cool day😂😂

[@Banditmanuk]

@Motoramblings Yes we think so. 👍

[@Phil144gbp]

Great food I live at Scarborough so not to far a ride out 👍

[@05gt99]

Hopefully get a visit next time I am down in North Yorkshire.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@05gt99 We would like to see it again on a warm sunny busy summers day. There's definitely some great riding in that area.

[@derekb2765]

Enjoyed the video. I think one of my viewers recommended that place to me too 👍 The food portions looked generous. What were the prices like?

[@Banditmanuk]

@@derekb2765 About £27.00 for what we had including the two coffees. OK for the quality & quality 👌

The “yellow thing” is a 1950 Chevrolet 3100. Thanks for the video.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@Cheesemaker-o2v Thanks.👍👍 Appreciate that. (Motorcycles are more my area)

[@exeterrider]

These types of place seem to be poping up a lot these days. That looks a nice stop off.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@exeterrider Yes. I think they are trying to attract both the motorists and bikers

[@LoneWallyUK]

I've been a few times. First went with Graham from Adventures With Woody/Chronicles Of Dot, I was glad I was following as I would have missed it. Plenty of bogs and space. It's a man cave woth a cafe

[@Banditmanuk]

@LoneWallyUK Yes the bogs were big and clean. Didn't fancy getting arrested filming in there though 🤔 Easily missed if riding down the main road at the front We liked the place

[@Saddlebags73]

Very cool place 😎

[@Banditmanuk]

Yep a nice destination

[@2wheelsbetter]

If you haven't been, try The Motorist cafe near Sherburn in Elmet...better food and drinking a better variety of visiting vehicles.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@2wheelsbetter Another one to add to our list when we get north again. Thanks for watching 👍

[@crozzy28]

Add to the trip sherburn aero club next to the motorist 200m walk another great cafe and viewing area for plane watching, Cars,bikes and aeroplanes a petrol heads dream 👍

[@Banditmanuk]

@@crozzy28 Thanks for the recommendation

[@LordBilious]

One to add to the ride out list, thanks guys.

[@martinbrown4214]

It's called Squires cafe , me and my biking friend went in summer, always full .

[@flatcapcaferacer]

We called those bikes "Stingrays" and banana seats over here.. My Grandfather had an old Chevy pickup like the yellow one. I need your vids with foods in them to be longer so I have a chance to fix myself a sandwich. 😄😄

[@Banditmanuk]

@flatcapcaferacer I thought you might know the pick up truck 👍 Its a bit late to eat over your side of the water 🤔 Breakfast time here now. Could be a full English fry up 😋

You beat me to it, those 6R4’s were awesome at full chat

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

More of a car place, more especially The Motorist.

[@Banditmanuk]

@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou Possibly but I guess they want both. At least they are not charging to just park up there like Caffeine & Machine do.

I was happy with McDonald's..

[@Banditmanuk]

@@plumpii7177 Happy Meal?

[@philipwatson7883]

Great spot but their coffee is nothing like it looks on the website. Poor coffee would be an under statement Cmon guys get a real barista on the payroll

[@Banditmanuk]

@philipwatson7883 We like our coffee, and what we drank on this visit was absolutely fine. There's a half decent looking coffee machine there. Thanks for watching

[@mickemmett6828]

Awww- much???

[@Banditmanuk]

£27.00 for both coffees and both meals. Honestly, I didn't think that was too bad. Guess some Yorkshire folks might see that as expensive?

[@YTB952]

Coffee tastes like old dishwater ..sort it out!

[@Banditmanuk]

@YTB952 Didn't you watch? The coffee tasted good. Our honest, none sponsored, non affiliated opinion.
