On our way down to Devon we stopped for a break and to get some food. Usually everything is 5 star. Got to the till to pay and noticed the strawberries was not looking good. The lady said to take some from another box. The second person at the till said they have had a lot of complaints about the strawberries. Why didn't anyone take them away. How many people got home to find the bad state of them and had to throw expensive strawberries in the bin

We cannot understand all these recessions. You are completely ripped off here! Everything is way too expensive and when I look at the plates of food... everything looks soggy and overcooked (mass production) and I don't even want to talk about the coffee prices, it's an outrage! 1 star for being very clean and 2 for the fact that there are enough clean toilets for the masses of people.

Wasn’t great. We were looking forward to food that wasn’t the usual fast food from services, unfortunately it wasn’t to be. The ordering was straightforward but the food looked nothing like the picture. I ordered the Brie & bacon toastie, which in the picture looked really full & appetising, however my toastie had what could only be described as a couple of shavings of Brie & only a couple of fairly overcooked pieces of bacon. The only thing that was in abundance was the marmalade chutney 🙄my kids meals were also much smaller than pictured & very disappointing. As someone else wrote, I don’t mind paying premium prices so long as I get food that matches that. This was not.

We visited Southbound service driving to Devon 4 days ago and today popped in to Northbound driving back home. Very impressed with both services: Freshly baked all sorts of bread and deliciously cooked meals. Unfortunately the prices in the Farm Shop are astronomical: an aubergine would cost you 6 times more than in Lidl. We could not find any prices for the cooked food apart from 2 daily specials. Regardless to this, we had to eat, so we were pleasantly surprised when we weren't charged a fortune for a cottage pie and a lasagne. As well I was given for free a sticky toffee pudding (because I had a daily special). All three dishes were absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. As well, we could not stop ourselves from buying focascia bread for home. All the staff there are very polite. Will we stop at these services in the future? - YES without hesitation

Overpriced and disappointing quality. I bought a steak and ale pie that was all veg and gravy, one tiny bit meat in the whole pie for £5.95. Tasteless! Stingily filled sandwiches and very bland vegetarian options. An absolute rip off! My advice: make and take your own sandwiches for the road.

We had expected it to be just like your regular service station but it was far from it. It really had a natural vibe to it all and the food and restrooms were of great standard. Spacious, clean and had a fair bit to do.

Two bacon rolls = £13. Honestly! No butter. Not toasted. Tepid. Roll tasted old. No garnish or tomato. Terrible dry brittle overcooked unsmoked tasteless bacon & unlikely of good provenance. I'd pay it and not complain if it was quality, fresh and lovely - like you get at Baffle Haus for eg. Absolute rip off outfit sorry as have had better at 2 star hygiene truck stop vans! £8 for two coffees on top. So disappointed. Never again as value is not an abstract concept unrelated to quality!

You can't call it 'Mac n cheese' if there's little to no cheese involved! Please sort it out, cheese is cheaper than meat! AND you're a Farmhouse stop...everything else makes it the best stop in England.

Whilst the atmosphere and facilities at this services is second to none, I personally don't believe the price of many items is wholly justified. The farm shop is stocked with a plethora of different locally sourced items; from clothing, to toys, to alcohol. All of which seems to be of a high quality, however the price tags are not for the faint of heart - if you are looking for a high end, luxury services experience then do consider stopping here.

If only every service station provided this quality of food and service. So much better than all the rest. Good value, tasty food - the steak and ale pie with mashed potato, peas and gravy was excellent. Loos spotless, in fact the whole place spotless. Design of the building is fantastic and allows you to truly have a break from driving. My only suggestion, request - please will they buy up more of the shoddy, lacklustre, overpriced service stations out there!

We just had takeaway sandwiches and cake. Monday lunchtime’s me. My wife and I were both disappointed with our sandwiches. I had cheese and ham baguette but the baguette was too dense and chewy. My wife’s tuna and sweetcorn on granary bread was dry. We each had cakes and they were ok but nothing special. The courgette and lemon was dry and crumbly with a very sweet, sugary topping. Was not moist as we would expect. The chocolate and cherry tiffin was nice. We stopped at these services due to their reputation but were disappointed with these particular choices.

Hmm. Stopped for the breakfast ☕️🍽 £13 for 2 sausages, scrambled eggs, 1 black pudding, a small ball of bubble n squeak, baked beans, 1 cold slice of toast and a coffee. Food was lovely but not really value for money. Toast was cold, I know some people like it that way so I guess that's 50/50 🤷♂️ Service was lacklustre, nothing like the TV series. Last visit we walked around the nick nack shops (which was a while ago to be honest so I'm happy to be corrected) and was disappointed at how much of the stock was from China and elsewhere and all available elsewhere at much lower prices. I was really expecting to see arts and crafts from local manufacturers and artisans. Hopefully that's changed now, I didn't think to look today but next time I find myself in there I try to remember to look and I'll post an update. Outside, I only spotted a couple of EV chargers but there was work going on close to them so hopefully more to follow. Plenty of parking and it was clean and tidy considering the weather. Would I go back if I didn't need to? Based on todays experience, I'm afraid it's a No from me.

We love calling in to your services on our way to Stroud. The shop is lovely and has different items to purchase including quality food to take out. The food in the Restaurant was wonderful and always has been. However we were shocked of how the Restaurant side was.The chairs were scruffy and the number of tables that had not been cleared was unbelievable, never have we seen the Restaurant in such a state before. There were lots of food on the table and on the floor which obviously had not been cleaned up. We will still come again as we do love the Services you offer but I think the staff ought to take a bit more care in cleaning the beautiful eating area.

Great food, fantastic produce in the farm shop. Pleasant staff but simply not enough of them. We visited for food and the flatbread stand was understaffed - ingredients ran out and the queue of customers had to wait for someone to run to the kitchen for more. Secondly, the hot drinks area was understaffed with only one person making drinks. A large queue built up and the order screen had all gone red due to the long wait for each order. Tables remained unclean for prolonged periods.

This was my third visit to the Black Shed situated alongside the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal in the lovely village of Slimbridge and I have never been disappointed. It's a handy place to stop for lunch after a canal walk or, in my case, a trundle up from Bristol on my trusty Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. You are always assured of a warm welcome from Shannon and the other members of staff at this excellent cafe/restaurant. On this occasion I enjoyed a tasty, home-made sausage roll with a pint of Shipyard American IPA - a light lunch for less than 8 quid - which can't be bad. My wife and I are planning a trip back for the fantastic carvery which is now available on Saturday as well as Sunday. Why bother cooking and washing up when great food is reasonably priced and comes to your table with a smile?
