We needed a break on a long journey west to Cornwall. Didn't expect much as we all know what services on motorways are like, don't we? Well, I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. Although we like some open plan services, e.g. new one on M25 (Cobham/Chobham?), eating upstairs made what could have been a noisy lunch (M4 half... More

4 of us arrived at 1915. My son wanted a cooked meal - the pie on display had already been sold, the chicken looked like it had been there for some time, there were no sausages left!! By the time we left at 1945 they were cleaning out the servery area and it was obvious they were not going to... More

Parking is easy but the place seems tired and dated. Just wish motorway services could be more stylish.

Food was only just at adequate temperature, mushrooms stodgy and egg quite greasy. Fried bread cost extra as would other items I could have purchased.

Chance passing went in for something to eat and was pleasantly suprised with food we had. Service was good as well. Will definitely go in again when passing.

Membury services (B carriage way (London Bound)) at which had to stop yesterday (10th Oct) is dire, nasty coffee, smelly food areas (old and dirty... More

I have had the misfortune to stop here twice now. I forgot that this was the same place otherwise I wouldn't have made the same mistake twice. Last time I ate upstairs - terrible. This time I bought doughnuts from the WH Smith - not bad. The mistake was buying coffee from Starbucks. The workers are overworked and understaffed. The... More

Plenty of gas pumps ,so no waiting normally. Great freshly made coffee and always an up to date Ginster selection. Helps to reduce the tedium of the journey, especially if one is alone.

The majority of the food outlets are upstairs. All the outlets are franchise operated by Welcome Break. I considered the hot plate food at Eat In, but it looked as though it had been standing for a couple of hours, so I resorted to Burger King, which was at least promptly served if not exactly what I was looking for....
