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 preferred Graham's Transport Stop, which was an independent truckstop located just down the A38 from here. Graham's Transport Cafe closed in 2010.

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 of the usual size. 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.

The service station has a multi storey car park as well as a coach and lorry park

Survey Results

In August 2011, Visit England rated the services as 4 stars. In August 2012, they gave them 3 stars.
