A really welcomed stop after a long drive, situated within a complex of services side by side.
Good selection of snacks and drinks, lots of seating, good outdoor area, adequate parking, there's also toilet facilties and a WHS to buy news papers.
It's very popular so do expect a que, sadly the staff are rushed off their feet due to the popularity of Costa having to make many coffees in a very short period of time.
I think it's our job as customers to be patient as we will get served. It does calm down depending what time of day you arrive.
Thank goodness we have places to stop relax, refresh and refule, back to the A1 now ready for the rest of the journey to Scotland 🏴
Cannot praise the staff at this services Costa enough. So on the ball with everything, serving, fulfilling orders, clearing & cleaning tables, sweeping the floor, all areas amazing. The cleanest, best run Costa we have ever visited & we are ardent Costa fans, well done to this team, brilliant 👍
Quick flat white & cherry almond slice. Coffee good, slice ordinary (par for the course)
Had a lovely coffee each in a service station
However it is and was very pricey!
Useful stop on the motorway for morning coffee. although busy Costa coffee is consistent so worth the wait. The altered road layout though means it's no longer a quick return to the A1. A competitors coffee shop sits on the next roundabout which is alot quieter and you have to pass to get back to the A1
Relatively small (like the motorway services) so can get quite busy at peak times and at least some of the seating seems to be shared with customers of the tiny McDonaldʼs. Pleasant outdoor seating area which gets the sun from late morning onwards. Standard Costa menu, so no great surprises — and, alas, no scones!! Friendly staff and quick service.
Served by Ben. He was so friendly and efficient. He patiently led me through my newly downloaded Costa app which saved me £2.
Very friendly staff... Thanks to Stephanie to making me a handcrafted Cappuccino.
And also a panini
I loved it and thanks to Costa
Well maintained and had a good break on my drive from London to Newcastle
Love this place! The staff are amazing. Very busy services. But absolutely amazing. The manager Marius is fantastic, always smiling and welcoming! Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Plenty of plug sockets and also a microwave for baby food. Great variety and choice.
Costa was nice, the services were a little cramped though so I wouldn't recommend working from here. Coffee was served perfectly and the iced drinks delicious.
