Designed only for traffic on the A50, Markfield is a small service area directly accessible from the M1. The lack of custom means it can get very dirty, and the main facilities are not 24 hours - overnight customers are directed to the petrol station.

Trivia:

Markfield is officially known as Leicester, but we'll refer to it as Markfield to avoid confusion with Extra's Leicester services and Welcome Break's Leicester Forest East, the latter being only six miles away but due to close at some point in the future.

Only the one at Toddington is left at last count, although even that may be gone as Moto don't update their website very quickly!

So, the Little Chef is gone here then is it - how many more Little Chef's are left to go before they become Costa?

It's very quiet and peaceful but this means it's not cleaned regularly enough. It looks very dire.
