Top 3 truck stops

£15.75 including meal, pudding, unlimited tea, and shower. Food is freshly cooked to order. Nice showers. Small so you’ve got to get in early though.

Best food of any truckstop I’ve been to. Showers were crap but a new block was being built and should be open now. Small so you’ve got to get in early. Can’t remember the cost but it’s in the £15-£20 ball park with food.

Massive clean tarmaced parking area that never fills up so roll in when you like and park easy. £17 to park with a £5 food voucher, although food is expensive and not particularly good tbh. Power showers are brilliant. Hairdresser on site only charges £6 and she does a good haircut.

I like J16 on M25.
serve even Beer in First Floor if you stay longer

Lincoln Farm, classic old school truck park, great showers, great staff, massive portions (if you peak through the gaps in the shower cubicles or limbo underneath), also food portions are large as well.

Parking attendants great, lorry park nice and bouncy to check load security. High risk of tea spillage.

Lockerbie is one of the better ones, good showers and and decent (though overpriced) food.
Only 3 toilet cubicles, which for the amount of drivers isn’t great. I went in for a turd a couple of weeks ago and all three toilet bowls looked like they’d been used as a slaughterhouse [emoji40]
