Trivia

One of the newer services, Doncaster was proposed by Pavilion and it had planning permission for ten years before it opened in 2000. A mile south there is land shaped for the Hatfield services which was never utilised as it was thought to be better to build Doncaster and serve two roads in one, especially given that the M180's rather nondescript landscape has a habit of sending drivers to sleep.

It had one of the last remaining trucker's cafés on the motorway network.

A Greggs will open here soon as part of plans to extend the front of the services and an M&S was planned here but has been postponed.

The services here were originally proposed in 1993, but alternatives were then explored at J3 and north of J5.

Survey Results

In May 2012 and August 2011, Visit England rated the services as 3 stars.

In 2006 the services won a five star loo award.
