Trivia and History
_.jpg)
The Terminal 1 building was built by Welcome Break under Fortes' ownership, probably attracted to it by the opening of the increasing importance of the Dover Strait as a trading route. The facility became property of Granada when they took over the company in 1995. As it wasn't a motorway service area, Granada weren't forced to sell it off, so they kept it and extended it.
This building is now run by their successors, Moto. It is not branded Moto, but instead "Food Village".
In 2004, a second catering building was built here for use by Moto. This one is in Terminal 3, and branded "Broadwalk Shopping".
Until 2016, a Caffe Ritazza outlet was still advertised on the big screens next to each dock here, even though it hadn't existed as part of the facilities here for some time. It had been converted to Costa like those at all Moto sites.
In 2007, Welcome Break returned to the market by taking on a similar site a few miles down the road in the Eurotunnel. They left this in 2013.
