The services were built by Trusthouse Forte in the '70s and then transferred to Granada in 1996. It was quite an upmarket service area with the first Granary restaurant and a carvery, and the walls down to the basement toilets being lined with carpet. It also had two hotels, a budget hotel and a slightly more upmarket one, and it was the first service area with a Little Chef alongside it, which was housed in a prefab-type building opposite the main building. The shop still uses Granada branding.

Today it isn't quite as luxurious and most of the building looks run-down, despite a few half-hearted attempts to make it look more welcoming. The entrance to the car park isn't clearly signed and is often missed by drivers who use the coach park instead.
