Complete with a wide variety of fast food (with different facilities on each side, the two buildings are connected by a rather nasty bridge), Woodall is quite a large service station with many facilities, located on the outskirts of Sheffield. It's quite old but it has since been brightened up by Welcome Break.

Parking Prices

First two hours free for all vehicles, after which cars must pay £8 and caravans, coaches and HGVs £20. These prices include a £2/£7 food voucher respectively.

Prices can be paid from the pay & display machines in each car park, or from the shop within the services.

Trivia

The southbound side was refurbished quite extensively, but the northbound side wasn't and it's a lot smaller. The bridge is very much something temporary made permanent, and before the refurbishment it used to connect directly to the southbound services, like it does to the northbound side. This is now no longer the case and after using the bridge you have to wind round to the main entrance.

Author: Message: Robsk Just escaped from this N bound Welcome Break asap. Filthy dining area on front of Macdonalds & KFC. Was it a ploy by WB to get drivers to use their own eatery? Couldn't find anyone from WB to take responsibility for cleaning the area. Of course the filth was only added to by the few diners too selfish to clear away their trays. Such a disgrace. Posted: 27 Feb 2010, 14:07 Anonymous Went into the northbound - recently been refurbished loads better, all open plan, new furniture and has a whsmith, mcds, kfc and eat in for mor eregular food and coffe and stuff. - staff all very friendly Posted: 29 Sep 2009, 21:29 Anonymous dat corridor between on the northbound services looks creepy! REALLY creepy! Posted: 12 Jun 2009, 19:14 Chas I was sadden to see the DISABLED bays being used again by none disabled uses, I use the south bound service area vey frequently and find commerceal vans, land/range rovers towing horse boxes parked rite across the bays so that no one can use these bays this is not just a one off it happens all the time and can never find anyone ready to take responsibilty and sort it out, no parking warden on after a certain time, just because we are disabled it doesent mean we only go out at certain times. Posted: 20 Apr 2009, 09:22 Anonymous Very good services. The Hotel is a great stay and fantasic value to hit the peaks and sheffield. Only McDonnalds on the M1 so worth a stop for a Big Mac! Has two WHSmiths now *NOTE* - THE NORTHBOUND DOES BETTER DEALS THAN THE SOUTH Posted: 23 Sep 2008, 19:34 Johnny The bridge is a temporary design but will permanently be there. It's due to the high winds in the area. It was refurbished recently. My current thoughts are that the northbound site is tidier, but still cramped. Southbound is great. Posted: 28 Dec 2006, 19:44 webtat yeah i've stopped at woodall its very good. also i herd the bridge is only temperary. Posted: 21 Dec 2006, 14:03 Anonymous Its hardly cramped to be fair, its infact bigger than most msa's plus havbing two sides gives you plenty of room if you want it! The bridge has been repaired i believe but still a little creepy! The North and South have both had a hell of a lot of work done on them and look great.....one of the best sites around!!!! Posted: 25 Nov 2006, 17:17 Johnny Small and cramped. The bridge is awful. Posted: 26 Mar 2006, 16:07 Admin Post your comments and reviews for Woodall here, or you can return to Woodall.
