Comments
The food was nice, bit of a queue but seemed like new staff as they were a bit disoriented/disorganised.
A large variety of food/drink options here, including Starbucks, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway, Pizza Express, Chopstix, Waitrose, and more
There is plenty of seating inside and outside.
There are many toilet cubicles here, and they were all very clean.
Large petrol station, didn't need to cue. Large parking area, although it does get very busy.
You get 2 hours of free parking, plenty of time to eat, chill, and use the facilities before hitting the road again.
Have plenty of parking option with EV charging point and seating arrangements. Also the parking is free for 2 hours as on date.
