I had the cooked breakfast at the greasy spoon cafe ‘hidden’ in a Bristol motorcycle showroom

The fact I caught the bus rather than rode a gleaming Suzuki into the car park probably lost me a few Brownie points before I even set foot inside Harry’s.

On the second floor of Fowlers - Bristol’s best known motorcycle dealership for the past 97 years - this cafe is a popular pitstop for petrol heads.

During the week, it’s relatively quiet, but at weekends it’s apparently packed with motorcycle groups meeting up for an artery-hardening fry-up before hitting the arterial roads.

On Thursday morning, there were just a few people eating at Harry’s and most of them seemed to be Fowlers staff.

But there were also a couple of blokes in leather biker jackets sporting ZZ Top beards and shiny pates refuelling on a full English before climbing back onto their Triumphs and riding off into the sunset. Or, perhaps, just the day job.

To be honest, I didn’t even know about Harry’s until recently. I must have passed it countless times not realising there was a cafe within Fowlers and I’m sure I’m not alone.

It’s a large cafe with well-spaced tables and a few sofas overlooking a sea of shiny new bikes, clothes and helmets. If you want a Hurricane Rainsuit with ergonomic front zip for ‘easy in and out’, this is the place.

The menu is surprisingly extensive, with burgers, salads, jacket potatoes, toasties, kids’ meals and a range of all-day breakfast and brunch options.

There’s even a BYO - Build Your Own - breakfast where you can choose whichever items you like for £1.25 per item (a minimum of six items).

At the top of the menu is the Mega (£12.50) comprising two eggs, two bacon, two hash browns, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding, fried bread and toast.

Scoff one of those heavyweight breakfasts before clambering back on your Kawasaki and you may need a new set of tyres.

I went for the more modest ‘standard’ (£7.50) and it lived up to its name. The two sausages were those cheap, spongy, tasteless jobs you might struggle to identify in a blind tasting.

The fried egg was nicely cooked, the yolk perfectly runny, and the thick, salty piece of back bacon was of a decent quality compared to the bangers. The beans and buttered toast were fine, too.

I degreased my mouth with a mug of strong Tetley tea (£1.75) the colour of a brick, although there is also ‘freshly brewed’ filter coffee and a range of soft drinks.

Harry’s even sells cans of Monster Energy for those customers who want to get into fifth gear early in the morning.

At 9am, that’s what I call rocket fuel for professional petrol heads, rather than a gentle morning kick-start for those of us in the bus lane.
