Centra A1 in Banbridge

As far as filling station food counters go, this is superb. The buttermilk chicken goujons are amazing and even better inside a footlong roll. They serve great pizza and a large selection of other hot foods and sandwiches to order. If travelling the added bonus of a small seating area inside the shop. Great range of crisps, confectionary and drinks also for sale including giant mini melts! This is not an up market cafe, it is a filling station but a top one at that.

The worst sausage roll I have ever eaten in my life, wouldn't feed it to my worst enemy. Thing was dripping with oil, I took one bite and had to throw it away. Cost £2 too.

The place has been revamped and tries to be more of an eatery. I was not impressed and preferred the old place before covid close down. Arriving in the parking and sign posting is diabolical. I only saw one disabled spot rammed up against a kerb. And it not clear where everyone should park. The drive through looked very narrow and I did not chance my camper van. I did receive the £2.30 drive through offer of a sausage roll,snack or sweet snack inside. There was only a cheese and bacon jambon and the Frank and Honest coffee lattee I choose and paid inside for and carried out. Seating has been improved with padded benches and snug areas. This was my second visit this week to also use the free atm. The menu is not terrible extensive and I think cooked from scratch,though there is a hot food prepacked cabinet. I assume like the previous premises there is wi fi. Centra are usually expensive and the eatery has plenty of room for improvement. The toilets are in the same place. It is a useful pit stop on way to Belfast. Early days really.
