Great day out. Fun for all the family. Five stars. Beware of hgv though!

Ferrybridge used to feel quite special. Essentially it is a big chalet, and used to have a big self-service restaurant that made great use of the space and put the high roofed area to good use. However, as Costa and BK have come and the investment has been put in their direction, the restaurant area has shrunk and feels a bit worn out. Similar abandoned shop units too as with many other Motos. The whole place just feels a bit tired and it in need of some tlc. It The M&S is good though! itn would be great to see more of a feature made of the main restaurant area as it is a great space and has so much potential.

Judging by Moto's website today the Little Chef at Ferrybridge is no more. Shame really it was quite good too!

Very nice, but it took me a long time to remember to turn left (car park) as soon as you enter, which I learnt the hard way after nearly being hit by a HGV.
