Trivia and History
The Little Chef, pictured in 2011.
Although Feering services is only available on the northbound side, there is a Shell forecourt called Doggetts Lane close by on the southbound side. It was built on the site of The Trowel and Hammer and The Spaniard pubs, but it isn't officially signposted as a service area.
The first facility in the vicinity of Feering services was St Christopher Garage. It was positioned to the west, right by where the entrance from Kelvedon joins. This later took on Texaco branding, and is now the dwelling called St Christopher Bungalow.
An independent diner was built a little north-east of here. In the 1986 this was taken over by Happy Eater, who demolished it and re-built it. It had stone-effect walls, and a Happy Eater weather vane which outlived the restaurant. A Travelodge was added in 1995.
In 1996 the restaurant became a branch of Little ChefHistory. In May 2015 this site received the Wonderfully British refurbishment, gaining a Burger King in the process. In January 2017, Euro Garages purchased the site and in January 2018 the new owners lost the rights to the name and it became EG Diner.
In August 2018 the EG Diner and Burger King both closed. The building was refurbished and reopened in January 2019 with Burger King and Greggs stores.
Forecourt History
In 1997, Texaco moved to a new, larger site next to the Little Chef. The old petrol station was partially demolished and became the bungalow. Its entrance remains as a driveway while the old exit has been grassed over.
The new petrol station had Star Market branding. It later became Total, and became Esso in July 2012. It was re-built and replaced by a new building in 2016.
