A very small service area packed in to Huntworth Business Park, so small that it has a tiny multi-storey car park and no grass to save space. Lorry drivers may prefer Graham's Transport Stop, which is an independent truckstop located just down the A38 from here.

Trivia

Bridgwater is quite possibly the smallest service area on the network, although it just manages to provide all the facilities you'd expect at a service area. Until recently it had an unbranded restaurant.

The services were built after similar plans at the same junction from Granada and Welcome Break were both rejected. Granada's plans would have had been on the other side of the link road, with the entrance being on the link road and looping back to the J24 roundabout.

Survey Results

In 2006 the services won a four star loo award and were graded 2/5 by Holiday Which?
