Outandabout:
Parking… £12
Sunday roast (carvery)… £7.50
Shower… FreeSome of you lads are very hard on this little joint, makes me think are you just having a moan, did you fall out with one of the staff, or what?
I have just eaten the carvery (Sun) and I honestly can’t complain. The roast beef was tender, tasted excellent and I could pile as much roasties and veg as I could fit on the plate.
One thing I always check in any eating house is the spaners! I gotta say they were gleaming unlike some of the major owned brewery joints I’ve been in.
I will agree the staff could do with some P.R training but I didn’t find them rude, just a little thick. But then what would you expect! It’s a truck stop.
The toilets were spotlessly clean and showers top notch.
Wifi wasn’t working, problem with router but I can live without that.
Now consider any of the S#*t holes up or down any motorway in the UK and tell me this place is bad. Their overpriced, overcrowded, toilets mostly stink of ■■■■.
So overall in my opinion this is not a 5 star joint but for a trucker who’s away up to 6 weeks at a time it’s a little gem. 9/10
As I have’nt parked there for quite some time, about 5 years, since working for hauliers with Felixstowe premises, I cant comment on current parking charges, but I do seem to remember that it was about £14-£15 last time I did stop.
But when I fisrt worked for a Felixstowe haulier, if I was in the yard for the night, I would sometimes jog over to the Orwell for tea, no more than 15 minutes in the car, but I became disatified with what I was being served and the price.
You can only speak as you find, the place should be a gold mine, something aint right.
