Trivia and History
The roundabout at Bicker Bar was built in the 1980s. Lawlor Land began planning the service area in 1992.
The hotel opened as Friendly Hotels in around 1993. It became the Comfort Inn, and in 2010 Supreme Inns.
The forecourt here opened as a Pace filling station operated by Malthurst. In around 2008, the filling station was rebranded to Texaco and a Star Market store was added. In 2011, Malthurst merged with Pace to become owned by MRH and the site was rebranded to Esso. MRH went onto added their own-brand Hursts store to the site. In June 2018, the site was passed to MFG following the merger of MRH with MFG.
MFG redeveloped the forecourt here in Spring 2021, with construction commencing on 1 March 2021. The site reopened on 22 July 2021 with a much larger Londis store which has swapped places with the pumps alongside new HGV pumps, an AdBlue bunker and 2 jet wash bays. The new sales building also includes MFG's 25th Greggs store alongside several grab and go options. The site is also set to gain 3 'MFG EV Power' 150kW electric vehicle charging bays.
The hotel is currently closed as the Home Office is housing refugees and asylum seekers here.
Between 2003 and 2006, a large truckstop was proposed on the field opposite this service area, but ultimately it wasn't built.
