Hi there. This is the new and improved user page from William Connolly. My new username is Wconnolly648 and if you want to see my old page with my old username, Burger King. Follow this link

I have been interested in motorway services (and larger a-road services) since a very young age. I enjoy seeing the different brands on display in different units as well as how the different operators run the services. I often compare prices between the operators as they each have different mark ups and my page on here has some helpful tips and advice for you to save money at motorway services.

Best and worst

The BBC News has the best and worst services in the country

  • The best motorway services that I have visited is Norton Canes as it offered a wide selection of brands and offers good value for money. From excellent value meals at McDonalds to freshly cooked hot meals and snacks at Fresh Food Cafe (best breakfast on the motorway).
  • I have not been to a motorway service station that I do not like however on the A roads, I found Bangor services to be old fashioned and a bit neglected. It was obvious that Burger King had tried to look after their small part of the building with their corporate layout, but the rest of the services looked neglected. However, I have not seen the new Euro Garages petrol station so my opinion of these services might change in the future.

Money saving tips at motorway services

We all know that Motorway Services charge more, but as the Daily Mail reports in 2018, they can charge up to 70% more. But don't worry, there are still some ways that we can save money while at Motorway Services.
