Great pit stop to break and visit the loo (for free!) and the free wifi means you can post a yelp review :)
There is a Costa and McDonald's but the Road Chef home store has nice fresh stuff. We got a small cappuccino (big cup, had to give to my brother to finish off) and a warm Piri-piri chicken sandwich plus the garden salad which was an add-on for 1.10 pounds. The salad was only mixed greens but had a good amount of tomatoes. My brother scarfed down his sandwich, and as the total came to around 10 pounds, we felt it was a pretty good bargain.
So updated review:
Went here on way back to Belgium, and since all three of were super hungry, got x3 mains - fish and chips, chicken tikka masala with rice, Haloumi, mushroom and falafel burger and a garden salad as a side. All three dishes were great. But the standout really was the burger, which is great for vegetarians as it gives them an option to eat something other than the soy veg burger at McDonalds. I loved that it was a brioche bun, as its sweetness undercut the saltiness of the Haloumi. Then I saw my falafel had proper whole chickpeas and that made me super happy as while the patty tasted genuine, seeing proof is always welcome. The masala of the chicken was perfect (just wished there were some vegetables) and the fish and chips were pretty good and hot and crispy. So pleased we stopped here again. The only minor issue, and it might be a personal taste preference, is that their coffee sucks, so I got one from Costa instead. read more
