Quick info
About Squires Cafe Bar.
On Newthorpe Lane in Leeds, Squires Cafe Bar combines a cafe and bar with an onsite campsite offering tent, tourer, and motorhome pitches alongside toilets and showers. The kitchen runs a 19-item menu that includes a meat pie and chips, the Squires stick burger, and a corned beef pasty, with food and drink ordered at the bar and a carvery downstairs. Hot chocolate and Yorkshire tea, served in a mug, round out the drinks. Bikers' events and live music are part of the regular calendar, backed by a large motorcycle parking area and extra car parking in a field across the road. The premises has step-free, wheelchair-accessible entry, a fireplace, and high chairs for families with young children. A private dining room accommodates groups, and outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to eat outside. Dogs are welcome throughout. The cafe bar opens daily, takeaway is offered for food eaten off site, and reservations are recommended.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently center on Squires as a gathering point for bikers, with the bikes themselves, sometimes numbering in the hundreds on busy days, as much a draw as the food. Among specific dishes, the meat pie and chips and the corned beef pasty draw repeated praise, alongside a well-regarded carvery and the Squires stick burger. Breakfasts and a cup of tea in a mug are also frequently mentioned as satisfying after a bike-watching morning. The campsite, with clean showers and toilets, and the dog-friendly grounds come up often as reasons families and groups return. Staff are described repeatedly as friendly, including help arranged around a wedding reception. A few notes temper the praise: one longtime visitor reports a decline in food quality over the years, particularly the burger patties, while another found breakfasts too greasy and a different diner faced a long wait for beans on toast during a busy car show. Reviewers close on returning again and again just to talk bikes over a hot drink.

“Not really my type of place, Food was average at best, had the jumbo hot dog, first time ever onions under sausage. Chips were like average chip shop chips.”

“One of the nicest cuppa teas and a cracking corned beef pasty! Ideal for bikers and car goers alike. Very friendly. Very approachable. Just be careful of your speed around these roads as police presence is high”
- Colin Wood
