I didn’t do my weekly shop yesterday (doh) and am heading from Newbury, up the a34 then a1 to York and am wondering if there’s any supermarkets on route (ish) that I can park a bulk tipper outside so that I don’t starve this week!
Cheers
If you don’t mind going 4 or 5 miles off route you can come off the A64 at the first slip for Tadcaster, follow it straight through town, immediately as you cross the river bridge there are a set of lights, turn left there (it’s a dead end but has a large turning circle at the end and there’s a supermarket there. If you come out back to the lights, turn left and follow straight on you’ll come back out on the 64 York bound.
There’ll be a Tesco, Asda, Morrison, Sainsburys and CO-OP somewhere on en route… 
Theres one just off the A43… at the A5 junction (if your going A34/M40/A43/M1/M18/A1 ) turn south on the A5 towards Towcester and the entrance is 300 yards down on your left plenty of room to get in if you keep out of the car park and head towards the far end of the store
Come off the A34 at the A415 Abingdon and turn right, Tesco on right, with a convenient bus stop outside
Or an Asda at M69 Leicester junction, come off, turn right, over next roundabout Asda on left. I park on chevrons in middle of road. There is always a supermarket on route somewhere. I never go more than a mile off route, and even then that’s a bit much. Maybe I should do a supermarket blog post!
A43 first Brackley roundabout straight on over next roundabout take next right park up on side after turning round at the bottom and walk back across rd to Tesco.
M1 junction 46 Leeds - Sainsburys just off to left if northbound. Usually plenty of places to park around perimeter and turn if outside peak periods as is a general retail park as well.
Morrisons Junc 1 M18. turn left at roundabout and left at lights.

. . . for BUSES 
A34 -m42 come off at ashby de la Zouch. Tesco there in front of the united biscuits factory. Lots of places to park. Although judging by time of post your sorted already.
Don’t forget all the Marks and Spencers Simply Food on the MSA’s!

I’ll try that one, cheers. I go from the M1 to Bicester and always aim for McD just before the roundabout and half the time it’s chaos.
if you have a suitable phone , try a app called superlocate iirc its free too

I think the problem with something like that is it could take you to a lot of places with no sensible parking options.
Wetherby Morrison’s truck stop to the right before the car park
I ended up using the one at towcester, you have to ignore the 5t weight limit though! Oh and you can’t turn around at the end as it’s taken up by a did and his 10 kids!

Cracking for an overnight Graham but if like the op you only want to pop in to do some shopping in the middle of the day you’d be in a world of hurt trying to get a wagon on there whilst it’s still full of cars.
