The picnic tables and adjacent hotel. It's actually conjoined to the services, which is rarer than you'd think.

Trivia:

One of the newer services, Doncaster was proposed by Pavilion and it had planning permission for ten years before it opened in 2000. A mile south there is land shaped for the Hatfield services which was never utilised as it was thought to be better to build Doncaster and serve two roads in one, given that the M180's rather simple landscape has a habit of sending drivers to sleep.

The Highways Agency have listed Doncaster (North) as an "approved truckstop", something which surprisingly few service areas are.

Survey results:

In 2006 the services won a five star loo award.
