Designed only for traffic on the A50, Markfield is a small service area directly accessible from the M1. The lack of custom means it can get very dirty, and now has no main restaurant.

Trivia

Markfield is officially known as Leicester, but we'll refer to it as Markfield to avoid confusion with Extra's Leicester services and Welcome Break's Leicester Forest East, the latter being only six miles away but due to close at some point in the future.

The services used to have a retail store and Little Chef, but these have both since closed.

Survey Results

In 2006 the services won a four star loo award.

Author: Message: Alan Only the one at Toddington is left at last count, although even that may be gone as Moto don't update their website very quickly! Posted: 16 Apr 2009, 17:20 alex So, the Little Chef is gone here then is it - how many more Little Chef's are left to go before they become Costa? Posted: 14 Apr 2009, 17:30 Johnny It's very quiet and peaceful but this means it's not cleaned regularly enough. It looks very dire.
