Truck stop of the year

Sorry, Robroy, I think Chippenham is very overrated. It’s expensive, service is slow, the menu is limited and pretentious (they need to decide if they’re a transport cafe or a chic bistro) and one of the staff reminds me of Hilda Ogden with her out of tune “singing”. Getting parked up can be difficult due to the layout and they don’t segregate fridges. I do understand though that they are hoping to expand the parking area. I never go there in daytime as it takes you ages to get served due to the dithering pensioners on bus trips. On the plus side, the shop is good, as are the showers, and the staff are friendly.

I’ll take Trucker’s Rest, Midway or Bridgewater over Chippenham any day as far as the actual cafe side is concerned. If I wanted fine dining I’d go to a pub or restaurant.
