Beef:
Hi guys, on Friday me and the family are on a bit of a road trip from Bridgwater to Chester, as we are going to Chester Zoo on Saturday. We have been watching ‘The secret life of the zoo’ on tv and my five year old daughter is absolutely fascinated by it. She loves animals and has been particularly taken with Chester Zoo as featured in the program, and really wants to go there. I must say, it does look like a great zoo. So the hotel is booked and on Friday afternoon we’re off!
Anyway, on the way up we are going to need to stop for something to eat. I don’t really want to stop at the services as they are a complete rip off. This is where you guys come in! I estimate that after about a couple of hours, we will be somewhere near J10 on the M6, Walsall, and we will all be getting a little hungry. Is there anywhere near this junction such as a Harvester or something similar that we could stop at and get something half decent to eat?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Nick.

J11 exit onto A460, 4th exit right down past the M6 Fuel station. Subway on right past the traffic lights. 3rd exit onto M54 then off at J3, 1st exit, down the A449, past the lights, across the island, at the next smaller island (past the speed camera) turn left. Traffic lights just past the bridge turn right, McBellas cafe, closes about 2 i think, absolutely incredible pulled pork after 11:30. Huge bap with all the trimmings for £2.50. Bit truckstopy though so tread carefully with the wife (spoons in water type thing).
Keep crossing islands on the same route (after the left at the last island) and you’ll reach a McDonalds, and pass a KFC I think.
Exit M6 J9, 3rd exit right, stay left and follow slip road left. Under the underpass, 3rd exit island, then 3rd exit next island, IKEA with restaurant, 4th exit a restaurant called the Chestnut Tree, recommended. Cross that island, turn right at the next, then double back at the mini island at the top (so mecca bingo ends up on your left), on-road HGV parking. Few spots.
There’s also the lovely City of Wolverhampton! I can recommend a free ■■■■■■■■■■■■ within the ring road but not on a public forum. Also M6 J11 turn left not right. Straight across the island, down past the houses. 4th exit almost back on your self retail park with a Maccies.
could always go M54 J3 and A41 to Chester,we came back that way seemed a lot quicker than M6/M56/M53.
