Mate, that looks shit! Bet it wasn't cheap either! I always try to avoid motorway food, either take a packed lunch or pull off the motorway & call off at a local pub...

Thats what I always try to do, and you get lovely food like this.
We were going to find a pub but decided against as it was mothers day and assumed most places would be busy!
Moto do not give an email contact on their website so I can't send the photo!

What are motorways?
Patrick, just ring the MOTO Services you visited and ask for the managers email addy and then send him the evidence requesting comments for presentation and quality.

I've used their online contact form and asked for an email adress to use!
Their reply went into my SPAM box! Quite apt.
I often take pics of my food when I'm out just in case.... :mfr_lol: This was one of the best baked spuds I've ever had.

Yes and it wont make a blind bit of difference. People have been complaining about the utter garbage that these people serve up for 50 years, and what good has it done.? :gun_bandana: :2guns: :gunsmilie: :hammer: The :censored:
Would they be Iridium spark plugs next to the beans ???????

They might as well be!! :mfr_lol:
Looks like crunchy chips with burnt sausages and an egg that's been left over from another customers plate. As for the beans ...
id of given it back before i paid for it .
there is a book available that you can keep in the car that gives off motorway alternative places , i think it is listed by motorway and junction number
I take my own grub as a rule, motorway prices are extortion :gun_bandana:
However the grub at the Filling Station in Keswick that me, 100 miles away and other like minded types visited the other Sunday was very good :yes:
Oh Dear Patrick :no: :no:
Had a brekky at the A50/A38 services last Tuesday and it was OK. LOTS of mushrooms but the rest was edible too.
If you want decent food at a motorway services, try France.
Very nice food and pretty cheap too. Petrol is the same price as all the local (non-motorway) stations.
UK services are a total rip-off. They get charged so much by the Guvmint for the right to operate the services that they have to charge extortionate amounts for everything they provide. I almost always turn off the motorway and find a local restaurant for food, or a non-services petrol station for fuel. Better everything, from price to quality to service.
