I see a lot of people mention Tebay as being the holy grail of eateries, but which one is this supposed to be? Are you talking about the services on the actual motorway or the truck stop at J38? Being up in ■■■■■■■ a lot at the moment I’ve stopped at them all and don’t rate any of them. The food at the MSAs is the usual overpriced rubbish and the garage at the truck stop is poorly stocked, but what is there is also very overpriced.
I prefer the 24hr garage just off J36 for Kendal. If you’re coming north, come off at J36, turn right for Settle and you come to another roundabout after 25 yards, turn left there on the A65 for Kendal and the garage is about quarter of a mile down there on the right, just before you go under the M6. It’s literally 1 min after coming off the M6. They do a lot of home made sarnies, pies, pasties and pasta bowls, all with handwritten labels on them 
which is always a good sign in my experience. They’re not the cheapest, but they are large. The cornish pasty I had was nearly big enough for 2

Only nearly though lol, I wouldn’t share my pasty!
Yes, Westmorland own the truck stop & the motorway services.
Everything is expensive nowadays (apart from truckers wages) but at least Tebay serves good quality, tasty food that is sourced from their farm & other local artisans rather than just a load of gash on a plate served by someone who doesn’t give a toss.
Perhaps you are more of a culinary critic than me.
Sometimes when I had a fridge I’d stock up on meat & cheese in the shop to take home.
Tebay was always my favourite stop on the road to Scotland. I used to make a point of stopping there whenever I could when I was tramping.
When I read the title I thought it was going to be about a well known Yorkshire based online auction site!

Or a Yorkshire warehouse operative telling you where to unload. “On T’bay.”
