Leeming Bar services A1[M] - £10 to park over night

Just come back from Leeming Bar on the A1, doing a story for T&D.
Its priced £10 a night to park up, and £5 of that is a voucher for the cafe and/or bar.
I thought it might be worth flagging up, because the only thing cheaper seems to be a lay-by.
Apologies Rikki if this sounds like marketing…

last time I was there (during the day),
AFAIK for £10, you only get a space on a rough piece of open ground, no CCTV or security fence.
wether theres a night watchman I dunno.

you might just as well park in the layby or the ind Est nearby and save your money

Parked their a couple of times since they opened the new ‘‘waste ground’’ parking area, noshed up at Maccy D’s for under a fiver, sod paying thr £10 for sweet F all, and no hassle for not paying :grimacing:

the hollies is also £5.00.

its £5.00 at Quinny ( if you pay ) & 24 hrs

I think there was someone from the family who ran the place at Leeming Bar on TN recently. even their waste ground must be preferable to parking on the other waste ground at the Queer Now

No-one use Londonderry?

Nearby Exelby services (northbound) was £2.80 about 12 months ago. Harrogate lorry park is £3 or £6. Wetherby services nearby are competitive with local prices at about £18 !!!

And I thought it was just me :stuck_out_tongue:

i would use leeming bar if i could get in.the dip to the entrance/exit to the lorry park is really severe.(my trailer runs an inch and half off the ground).
i have only ever used londonderry once.that was enough to mentally scar me for life.never ever again.
parking-was a pain to get in and out
food-was horrendous,overpriced tasteless greasy.
cafe-was about 40+ years past a major renovation needed.
customer service-non exsistent apart from the smell of bo coming from the assistant and the grunting instead of speech.
the barn full of pigs eating swill was more appealing across the road.
