“What an idea, real proper food at a motorway services. Why would you get the same old chain rubbish when you can eat here. I had the chicken shish kebab to be a little healthier today and I had the fish and chips on my last visit. Both were amazing and it's safe to say when passing I'll be returning again”

“Visit quite regular and bever usually have a problem. Today (21/8/26) was absolutely atrocious. We had 2 fish box meals one with peas and one with gravy, two kids meals one sausage and one chicken nugget meal although the useless staff didn't put the chicken nuggets in the box they put little fish bits. The fish were horrendous, had no taste and very very chewy even the dogs wouldn't eat it. The mushy peas were so dry they weren't edible. Very lumpy gravy. We ended up throwing it in the bin a waste of £36. The young lass on the telecom on the drive through needs to learn some customer skills. Wish I got a receipt so I could've taken it back. We won't be visiting again. I also wouldn't recommend.”

“Mmmmmmmmm! First time visitor and was warmly welcomed by fantastic staff and shown to a table. The menu is good and I chose haddock, chips and mushy peas! Well, I was blown away by the quality and quantity and felt as though I'd gotten proper value for money. I will return.in the future and I recommend here!”
