Food Options

Pros:

  • "Best food on the A1 in my opinion. Plenty of choice! Good prices too! Well worth a visit!"
  • "A great selection of places to eat, from oriental to freshly made baked goods and sandwiches."
  • "Really like this services! High speed chargers, reasonable selection of food offerings as well as an M&S food shop and WH Smiths."
  • "There is a good selection of places to eat at and a couple of shops."
  • "Defo one of the better services around and beat MOTO, Welcome Break etc hands down for food options."
  • "They have a great selection of different restaurants available as well and the prices are really reasonable too which is surprising as it being a service station."
  • "A good deal of choice when it comes to food, lot of options from Mexican, noodles, Ed's American style diner, McDonald's, KFC, Cornish pastie stall and patisserie with coffee."

Cons:

  • "Sometimes the food served by vendors is questionable."
  • "Food poisoning!! Was there on 13.10.2023 myself and 5 of my passengers had KFC and were all ill the following day."
  • "The flavouring on the chicken tasted a little artificial."
  • "KFC blocked other stores with their que and M&S didn't run other discounts that applied to their other stores such as O2 priority."
  • "The only downside when we visited was the national chicken shortage! KFC, McDonald's and Ed's all had none."
  • "The strawberry and vanilla tastes were overpowered by an overwhelming amount of sweeteners added to it."

  • "A squashed cockroach outside the gents toilets and a lot of flies on the mezzanine eating platform."
  • "However the toilets were some of the most disgustingly dirty I've seen in many years."
  • "The ladies toilets needed a clean though."
  • "Not enough cleaners. The hygiene standards are inadequate for the current situation of the country."

Parking & Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Free parking up to two hours."
  • "Plenty of parking space, and we were able to charge our electric car from the ecotricity point."
  • "Used this for the first time I found there was plenty of parking."
  • "Accessible from both directions of A1. Lots of parking, space for cars, coaches & Lorries, clearly marked and generously allotted."
  • "Parking - Plenty of spacious parking."
  • "Lots of free parking."
  • "Car park is big, petrol station and ATM available around, as well as free toilets."

Cons:

  • "We with our caravan are directed to the lorry park, where there appears to be only two designated caravan parking spots, so we have to use the lorry park which is often almost full."
  • "It's a pity that caravans are meant to park with the trucks with only one way in and out and furthest from the facilities."
  • "People were even queueing for a parking space today."
  • "The parking is tight, when will the design car parks for the larger sized cars, it seems we are still stuck in the 60's car sizes for design."
  • "Poorly laid out road, if you can't find parking you have to leave the services and go round the roundabout again."
  • "Too busy on the approach roads, added half hour to my drive home just to get in and out, car park not big enough, parking spaces too small."
  • "What is the point of having signs up that say no HGV parking in coach bay when nothing is done about them parking in them."
