I come here often to do the mountain bike trails and it's well set up for that,

I agree - the cafe is very disappointing. Ironic, considering the amount of sports enthusiasts who use the Chase - plus the Diabetes UK ride that is taking place this weekend - that the cafe is stacked to the gunnels with the very foods that cause diabetes and poor performance!
