Both filling stations are open 24 hours

Eastbound

StarbucksTravelodgeShell, Select, Deli2go, Costa Express, Air1 AdBlueHGV parking available

BP Express operate the westbound filling station
Shell operate the eastbound filling station

Notes: The services are exactly 15 miles from the unbuilt Meon Valley services on the M27. Given that this section of A27 was planned to be part of the M27 right up until the last minute, it is quite likely that this was supposed to become a full motorway service area.

There have been several plans for a westbound service area to accompany it but finally, in early 2014, a BP filling station was built.

The Starbucks is housed in a former Little Chef building, which closed on 31 July 2012. The eastbound filling station was formerly operated by TCS.

Notes: This is also home to a bed store which occupies a former AJ's restaurant, which then became Starvin Marvin's. There is an Esso/Spar combination forecourt on the westbound side too: these are not signed but did have the same restaurant history. Both of these were former Texaco and Co-op Food sites.

Notes: This is actually located off the Arundel Road. The Shell station is branded as Deli2go only with no Select branding to accompany it.

There is another Travelodge 200 yards away from the hotel at this site.

Former Little ChefHistory site; it closed in January 2018. For a time, it was a Little Chef Choices site with Caffè Ritazza and Harry Ramsden's menus. A Coffee Tempo! was later added. The restaurants were taken over by Euro Garages in 2017 and the EG Diner will be replaced by KFC soon.

Rontec operate the filling station

Notes: The site is a Highways Agency approved truckstop and is located off the A284. The shop here was formerly branded Mace and operated by Snax 24. The position of the services leaves space for the Arundel Bypass to be built, which was cancelled in 1996 but may be brought back. If this happens, the facilities will see a drop in passing trade.
