Good place to stop. Took break while on trip from London to Bournemouth. It has all options of Rowhams such as Mc Donald, Leon, SPAR, Noodle Bar, Costa, Slot Machine Games & WH Smith, see pictures. It also has outdoor seating in lawn with many benches. A dog friendly place.
Medium capacity washrooms but huge car park. Has 2 electric charging bays.
Parking beyond 2 hours attracts charge.
My advice would be not to use the gas station adjacent to it as they charge 15 percent more than any other fuel station in the same area.
The staff were very attentive and helpful as the self service ordering via touching the screens like at franchises like Burger King weren't working. They were very fast and efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. I asked if they cooked their vegan patties etc on a separate grill from the meat one and they confirmed this straight away (unlike a franchise that shall remain nameless but is in violation of the Vegan Society's "seal of approval").
We just noticed that the tables at which we sat and those around us were "salt-y" ie had salt scattered on them and some had water etc on them but we saw that only two amazing ladies were doing all the work of ordering, taking orders to tables inside and out, clearing the place where trays are put etc. so we just moved to another table.
Thank you for the vegan options for myself and the carnivore options for my partner who is a committed meat eater!!
Can't wait to come around to you all again.

Thank you soooo much to Dylan for sorting us out with delicious food despite being 3mins to closing. I've been meaning to try Leon for ages and was so happy to have the opportunity today. Comfy chairs in the seating area. Perfect stop off after a long day.
Fantastic alternative to the golden arch brand. Yes, it's more expensive but the quality and taste is by far worth it. Great Sausage & Egg Muffin and super crispy, tasty hash browns. My husband particularly liked the Breakfast Pot offering. Coffee nice and flavoursome and piping hot, too.
Really tasty, healthy food. A very welcome addition to the usual not so healthy services offerings. We were there for breakfast, but also saw the main menus which looked very good as well. There were breakfast boxes including eggs, mushrooms, avocados, tomatoes etc. I had a salmon pot and sourdough toast. Very convenient packaging for take away. Also had a large water dispenser, complete with mint leaves, which was free to use.
Chicken Wrap was okay but I would prefer if the use tortila wrap as the wrap they used socked all the liquid of the inner material. Fries was cold and not nice at all.
Great motorway stop for vegetarians, happy to find a choice other than mcdo or sandwiches. The halloumi wrap (warm) is quite tasty and yhe burrata with greens (cold) is just as good.
The gmap opening times are a bit off, they usually close at 8 pm (not 6) and on Friday are open until 10 pm.
Minus 1 star because the guy serving forgot to put the drink I've ordered in my bag and I only saw it after I left the rest stop. But these things happen.
Keep up the good work!
Just had nice food from Leon. Girl said run out of rice, si choose to have chicken burgers instead, she also put in a pot of stay sauce for my hubby so not to disappoint. Mat say I think it was the most tastiest service meal I've ever had, fresh, hot, quality amazing slaw was very fresh, coffees really good too. Shame I can't remember the girls name amazing service, friendly welcoming. I visited on Sunday 19th Feb at around 6.30pm.
Not that delicious as it looks like. Service is really nice and clean as well. Halumi wrap was nice
Even though it's in a service station next to a McDonald's, my food was so healthy and fresh. Would definitely eat here again.
