An old Fresh Express restaurant
Eat & Drink Company is Moto's self-branded alternative for people who don't want fast food. It was re-branded in 2008 from Fresh Express, and like all its predecessors it claims to go without the typical service station scenarios of grease, grease and grease.
Both EDC and the old Fresh Express offer a 'No Quibble Guarantee', and offer 'pick and mix' facilities for children.
It used to be found alongside Caffe Ritazza for baked goods and coffee, although in many cases Costa Coffee is being used instead.

On way home from a few days in New York stopped at Reading West Services and went to EDC for a bacon sandwich! What a mistake £7.98 for a pathetic attempt at 2 bacon sandwiches. In this day and age I find it amazing that we are subjected to what can only be described as trash food hardly suitable for human consumption and at "service" stations we pay premium prices for the privilege. Profit yet again before standards, we should all complain when subjected to pathetic standards of food / service then we may eventually get to some acceptable standard within the 21st Century!!

Met my daughter at Doncaster N/E Moto Hospitality on Sunday 1st November 1105am and ordered breakfasts from cashier Allan Trans#88. No fried eggs available and very little scrambled also. Only 2 hash browns and 2 pieces bacon.
Long wait. Told could not have fried eggs. issued remaining scrambled ( very small quantity) and promised more. Put in more hash browns but never forthcoming. Only 3 sausages available on tray. Availability disgraceful, sparse brekfast but charged full price. Will not buy from EDC again.

had to stay at cardiff west on tuesday and wednesday. 1st and 2nd sept. Ate(or tried to) at the eat and drink co. the food was of really poor quality. the fish and chips was batter and chips. no fish was found. food was returned and replaced. ended up getting refund. everybody but especially lorry drivers who have no choice but to eat there deserve decent food and enough on their plates. the food was disgusting and very expensive. just because we have to eat there does not mean they can serve cold inedible food.

After queueing for about 10 minutes in the EDC in Doncaster North, the board was changed from the breakfast menu to the main one. The woman in front of me was then served a breakfast, and when I asked for it as I'd been waiting so long for it I was refused, and talked to in an arrogant manner.. in the end got a Burger King instead.
Is it that much effort to say 'excuse me, is anyone waiting for breakfast? we wont be serving them now' when you change the board instead of ignoring the queueing customers?

Ferrybridge - visited 26 June. A horrible place - like eating in a hangar with cheap and nasty tables and chairs. Had 2 cafe lattes £5.58 ! and an all day brunch with revolting sausages and palid under cooked eggs - hopefully Wetherby will be an improvement.

Too bloody expensive and poor service (Winchester Services). Won't be going back again. The McD related place at Fleet Services nearby was a lot cheaper with faster service.

My husband and I visited EDC at Leigh Delamere about 19.45 on Wednesday 24rd June 2009. The chicken dish I chose was not available. I decided to have chicken tikka and rice but asked the girl not to put it out until my husband's chips were done which were being "freshly cooked". These were ready in a very short time. My chicken tikka and rice consisted of a small amount of rice and a spoonful of chicken and sauce. There were in fact 7 SMALL pieces of chicken so at a cost of £6.99 I work that out to be £1 per piece with a bit of rice and sauce. The portion was smaller than I would serve to my three year old grand daughter. As a foot note my husband's "freshly cooked" chips were only warm and his pie was the same. On our next trip to the west country we will certainly choose somewhere else to eat and would advise others to do the same!!  |

Called into Winchester South on Monday 30th April for 2 Jacket potatoes with Coleslaw and 2 coffees. Staff all seem to be Polish and speaking English does not appear to come easily when requesting anything. Lot of chit chat amongst themselves in Polish presumably trying to make sense of what you requested.
Anyway, No Coleslaw we were told, OK then two jacket Potatoes with Beans we said, We only have one jacket Potatoe came the reply.
Major company providing food for people on the move? Rubbish - Cheapskate outfit providing the poorest minmal service they feel they can get away with.
