Trivia and History[edit]
The site was built at the same time as the Norwich Bypass, and is widely known as Norwich services.
Forte built the services as a restaurant, motel and forecourt operation. It was the new Norwich branch of Little ChefHistory, which gained a Burger King. In 2002 it became a Little Chef Choices, gaining a Harry Ramsden's and Caffe Ritazza. These were later removed.
In 2018, Euro Garages' rights to use the Little Chef name expired, so it was quickly replaced with EG Diner.
A McDonald's opened opposite the services in early 2018 however it isn't part of the signed service area.
Shell operate the filling station.
