Trivia

The services were built by Blue Boar but opened by Roadchef, as they were sold whilst the services were under construction. They used to have an SOS Fashion outlet here but it has since closed.

Granada originally proposed a southbound service area opposite the northbound one, but for some reason it didn't go ahead. To really confuse matters, according to Stafford Borough Council the services are called "Granada Service Station Southbound", and the postcode supplied by Roadchef is wrong and actually points to the northbound services. Very odd!

The services are deliberately set back from the road by 67 metres to allow for future widening of the M6.

The Costa outlet here has recently been refurbished (December 2012).

The McDonald's here opened on 20th February 2013.

Survey Results

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

In 2006, the services were given a 4/5 by Holiday Which?
