    Lived abroad for 3 years, if this is the best the Brits can do, you can keep it. The toilets are a disgrace. Look at the Austrian service station if you want to see how it's done. Advice, drive on by

    Restaurants are open later than some of the other service stations on the M4, so fill up before you drive off

    Don't stop here thinking you can do some work requiring a working WiFi connection. There is one, but it is rubbish, utterly unusable.

    Get a coffee at one of the 5 (yep count 'em) separate Costa outlets. One mediocre coffee looks very much like another.

    Worst service stop we've ever been to. Service was poor and food was cold by the time we had paid for it. Go the extra 14 miles to the next services

    Only slightly less depressing than Heston services. Don't come here if you're in any way suicidal.
