Services type: Single site located between junctions on the westbound side only.
Notes: Formally included a Burger King as well as the Little Chef. Although the road signs call it Rufus Stone, all the facilities refer to it as Stoney Cross.
It was formerly the Compton Arms Hotel (which is likely to have provided petrol at some point), and appears to have become part of a larger service area with the dualling of the A31 in the 1970s, with Little Chef then moving in to the main building as part of their rapid and immediate expansion. It is connected to the local area by a public footpath.
The Esso filling station is open 24hrs
Picket Post
No HGVs.
Between Southampton and Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24 3HN. [Google Maps link]

Services type: Two sites located within a junction, connected by a public road.
Notes: Although it's a dual-sided service area, there are different facilities on either side of the road. The both services are also known as 'Burley services' after the main destination at the junction. And alternatively the eastbound services can also be known as 'Forest Edge'.
Both Little Chefs closed in 2012.
Red Post
No HGVs.
Between Wimborne Minster and Bere Regis, Dorset, DT11 9EX. [Google Maps link]
Facilities: Little Chef (with: Electric Vehicle Charging Point & WiFi), BP (with: Shop)
Services type: Single site located at the side of the road.
Notes: The services are situated close to the crossroads where prison wardens would have been told to turn right when transporting prisoners from Dorchester prison to Poole, where they'd be deported. As most prison wardens were illiterate at the time, they would have been told to "turn right at the red [finger]post". A red fingerpost is still used at the junction and the prisoner's route is known as the 'Red Post Route'. This site is one of very few Little Chef's to not offer free WiFi to its customers.
