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.
Survey results:
In 2006 the services won a four star loo award.
