Moto Stafford Northbound Reviews Summary

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

• "Nice services with a small lake and fountain, picnic benches and grassy banks. Much better than a lot of motorway services."
• "Decent toilets, plenty of parking and free for two hours. Had quite a pleasant stop here."
• "The inside is clean, efficient and cool (even in early July), while the outside is unexpectedly cool."
• "Toilets were clean and well maintained shop was well stocked with snacks and hot and cold drinks were available."
• "Toilets (inside Bp station) spotlessly clean. Friendly people behind the counter."
• "Gets the basics for a services right. Toilets are clean, parking is easy, usual fuel and food shops."
• "Very clean, lovely outside space, for food. Various food outlets including drive through Starbucks, and best of all, ladles toilets are very close to the door."
• "This is such a nice clean service area. Disabled toilets were immaculate. Shops are well stocked and reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "Well I have been coming here regularly and tonight the site was disgusting, toilets bad and staff not very receptive."
• "Grim little services. All the concessions closed apart from Birger King and MnS or Waitrose whichever one it was. It was only 8:30 . Place had a run down air."
• "But the area where you eat inside was absolutely disgusting! Genuinely filthy. Floor was sticky, rubbish everywhere, food on the floor and chairs."
• "The reason for the 1 star is the state of the place. We ate at KFC and I’m glad I had wipes with me to clean the table before we ate."
• "As for the showers absolutely disgusting. No hot water and they stink of raw sewage. Obviously a drainage problem then they have the nerve to charge 25 pounds for parking overnight."
• "Toilets inside building are literally in need of a complete overhaul they look dated and fixtures and fittings look worn out and dirty."
• "Baby changing room bins were overflowing with used nappies. No staff available to notify of this."
• "Still smells of stale piss in the truck park and if you park in the coach parking bays you are moved off yet they don't seem to want to know the truck bays are full of caravans parked in the wrong area."

Food and Drink Outlets

Pros:

• "One of my favourite services to stop at, as it is modern with a wide range of food outlets. I always go for Pret a Manger there."
• "Great services, clean inside with the usual food outlets - Costa, Greggs, M&S, Burger King."
• "A small service area, hot food ceases from 930pm with a very limited menu on offer from BK, KFC was already closed."
• "Nice size car park but after almost breaking my neck on the ice they could do with gritting it. Not cheap to stop for food and in winter it's damm unsafe."
• "One of the few service's that are great for dog owners. Nice area for walking dogs and stretching your legs, as well as a fantastic M&S shop with a big selection of quality food at a good price."
• "Nice lake with fountain makes the place a little more inviting. The access road is winding and you feel you will be at the next junction before you find this services facility."
• "The food outlets are nothing out of the ordinary, but what a beautiful setting! I ordered a pot of tea and enjoyed it at an outside table overlooking a large pond with fountain, ducks and geese."
• "One of the best services I’ve visited on the motorway network with the usual facilities. Nice outdoor area to stretch legs around a lake."

Cons:

• "February 2023...£8.50 for screen wash. £4.15 for an egg mayo sandwich (1 slice of bread, not 2 slices). £1.95 for a bag of crisps...yes, almost £2 for 40g of fried potato."
• "It was busy, yet the interior felt spacious and the men's toilets were bright and clean. Broad choice of food but we were running late so we didn't have time to sample any."
• "Had a Burger King.....slow service and cold, doughy chips! I normally rate Burger King way above Maccies but this visit was poor."
• "We stopped off for food and ended up in Burger King. Overpriced food, the staff were overworked (although doing their best), and the place smelled like someone had spilled vinegar."
• "Greg's,why is there 20minute wait to get served,your managers should provide adequate staff for the morning rush, but no they prefer to put sandwiches out rather than get people served."
• "Popped in for Burger King as needed food after long journey.Chips were disgusting..the bag they were served in would have tasted better."
• "As a long distance hgv driver the choice of food is not acceptable. Only burger king or food in main restaurant been there all day."
• "Very disappointing in comparison with the equivalent service station on the southbound side. This was scruffy and much bigger making it an unpleasant break."
