Trivia and History

Abandoned Little Chef sign visible through the restaurant window.
Some Little Chef signs stored in the former abandoned building.

The petrol station was built in the 1960s, on the old alignment of the A30. Following the opening of the Hayle Bypass in 1984, Trusthouse Forte sought to expand the facilities available here. They eventually opened the Hayle Little ChefHistory next to the forecourt in 1989.

The Premier Inn, its adjoining pub and the McDonald's all opened opposite the original service area around 2000, with new signs placed on Carwin Rise to differentiate between the two sets of facilities. The Premier Inn later received a first and second floor extension in 2015, with the ground floor being retained as parking.

Facing increased competition (especially as the McDonald's was more visible), the Little Chef closed in 2004. Travelodge then built a hotel on part of the former restaurant car park, and plans were made for the Little Chef to reopen to coincide with the hotel opening. However, the owners of Little Chef fell into financial difficulties and the restaurant remained closed.

The building was filled with original signs, equipment and promotional materials, which remained there for a long time, even after every other Little Chef had closed. It was eventually demolished by EG Group in January 2019, who replaced it with a new Starbucks Drive Thru, opening on 20 December 2019.

Four Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging points were installed here in 2020, but due to local power supply issues, they went live in September 2023. A GeniePoint charger was also installed in the Premier Inn car park in early 2024.
