==Trivia and History==
==Trivia and History==
The Indian Queens bypass and service area here are actually built on a site of archeological interest and a former farm known as 'Fernside Farm'. In the early 1990s before the bypass and service area could be built here, archeological investigation works took place to excavate remains of the 'Penhale Round', a dry-stone structure and a stone-built hut/ancillary building which dates back to the Iron Age, possibly being built around 100 BC.
[[File:Next Penhale 2024.jpg|250px|thumb|right|alt=Large glass shopping centre with signs saying Next and Starbucks.|The Next store with its Starbucks concession, part of the Kingsley Village Shopping Centre next door.]]
 
The A39 and A30 used to meet in the centre of Penhale, where there was a petrol station. With the Indian Queens Bypass being planned in the early 1990s, Kingsley Developments Ltd proposed a new facility and commercial development be built at Fernside Farm. Planning permission was first requested in July 1992, with full permission being granted in January 1995.
Initial plans for 'commercial development' here were submitted in July 1992 by Kingsley Developments Ltd. and included plans for a petrol filling station, restaurant, hotel and business park. These plans were later refused in February 1993 as the land had not been allocated for development at the time of the proposal and the proposal was deemed premature pending the completion of the Indian Queens bypass.
 
The Indian Queens bypass officially opened on 19 February 1993 with planning permission given for commercial development on the site in November 1993 to Kingsley Developments.  


Phase 1 of the development plans emerged in October 1994 with Kingsley Developments proposing a [[Jet]] petrol filling station with car wash, a [[Burger King Drive Thru]] restaurant with outdoor seating and a HGV, coach and caravan parking area. These plans were granted planning permission in January 1995 however in May 1995 plans for the Burger King Drive Thru were changed to become a [[McDonald's Drive Thru]]. The Jet filling station opened in late 1995 with the McDonald's Drive Thru following in Spring 1996.
The bypass had already opened in February 1993. During its construction, an archaeological excavation unearthed remains of the 'Penhale Round', a dry-stone structure and a stone-built hut/ancillary building which dates back to the Iron Age, possibly being built around 100 BC.


Phase 2 of the development plans came in March 1995 with Kingsley Developments proposing a crafts, food and workshop centre on the former Fernside Farm site as well as an extension to the access road to the site. Planning permission was granted for this in September 1995. This later became the site of the Kingsley Village Shopping Centre.
The first phase of the service area opened in late 1995, starting with a [[Jet]] forecourt. The [[McDonald's]] opened in Spring 1996, having previously been planned as a [[Burger King]]. It is still the only McDonald's location in the county that is open 24 hours.


The third and final phase of the developments plan then emerged in October 1995 with Whitbread Inns proposing a [[Brewers Fayre]] pub-restaurant and 40-bed [[Travel Inn]] hotel to the west of the phase 1 site. Planning permission was granted for this development in December 1995 with the pub-restaurant and hotel opening in early 1996 and becoming known as the 'Penhale Round' branches of both brands.
Phase 2 later materialised as Kingsley Village Shopping Centre, built around the original farm site. This would later include a [[Starbucks]] coffee shop that would be advertised from the neighbouring McDonald's.


In 2010, the filling station was purchased by [[Shell]] and rebranded.
The third and final phase of the development was completed in early 1996, with Whitbread Inns opening a [[Brewers Fayre]] pub-restaurant and a 40-bed [[Travel Inn]]. Both branches were named 'Penhale Round', in reference to the excavation.


Strangely, the Starbucks store located within the Kingsley Village shopping centre has a totem pole positioned next to the McDonald's logo adjacent to the A30.
The forecourt was purchased by [[Shell]] in 2010. Whitbread changed the pub branding to 'Cookhouse & Pub' in 2018. They added two Shell Recharge electric vehicle chargers to their forecourt in late 2020.


This was the home of the 'Penhale Round' branch of [[Brewers Fayre]]; it closed in 2018 and reopened as another of Whitbread's brand: 'Cookhouse & Pub'.
Eight Tesla Superchargers were constructed in the overspill car park in July 2023, going live in May 2024.
