McDonald's at Watford Gap Southbound Motorway Services is a useful location to grab a quick bite to eat when on the road, while they don't have a drive-thru, there is a large parking lot and seating area available and they are open 24-7.
The staff weren't the best, it was difficult to get the attention of any staff member to request a knife and fork, I felt like I was talking to myself. The paper material for utensils is awful, as I was cutting into my food, they were starting to bend. It seems they're putting sustainability ahead of practicality.
I ordered ahead of time using the My McDonald's app, and my food was ready quite quickly, especially given the fact they were very busy, with fellow football fans heading in on the way to Wembley, on my visit.
I was able to catch the Breakfast menu, so I ordered a Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin (without the muffin as I am gluten-free), alongside a Tropicana Orange Juice and a hash brown.
I was pleasantly surprised with my food, although slightly greasy, it was all hot and tasted good, and the hash brown was crispy.
4* - McDonald's is McDonald's at the end of the day, but this one is useful due to its 24-7 opening, motorway service location among other factors, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. read more
