Trivia and History
It replaces an old (1960s) petrol station. There is a Premier Inn & Beefeater the other side of the roundabout but these are not signed or easily accessed from the services.
Despite not being signed from the M6 and not qualifying to be, the M6's electronic signs are still used to warn of problems at this service area.
Work commenced in February 2022 on demolishing the former Thistle Café building to make way for an extension to the sales building. The new extension will house new toilet and shower facilities as well as a new Stone Willy's Kitchen concession. The new sales building is expected to reopen in June 2022. The forecourt is also due to gain 4 electric vehicle charging points in 2022.
