Good parking, decent setting, variety of food options. The toilets were ok -fairly clean. It’s a popular stop so it’s going to be busy at most times. Everything overpriced of course but that’s normal for service stations.

The design of this place is terrible. The disabled toilets are miles from the entrance and it is difficult to put together meals from different outlets as the seating areas are branded. Costa in particular seems unwelcoming to those who want food from a different stall to go with their coffee. Everywhere seems to want you to order by machine. And the Costa app wouldn’t work on my phone without me typing in a password Ive long forgotten and Ive no email access to retrieve it.

Worst breakfast ever! Hard bacon, burned sausage, rubbery eggs, beans that had been reheated many times and chewey mushrooms. Have stopped here many times in the past but won't be again. We were in a hurry otherwise I would have taken this back as it was as near inedible as you can get. I wouldn't mind but we waited 10 mins after ordering for it to be cooked! Do not recommend at all.

Stopped here about 1030 am as before these have been very pleasant. Not sure what's happened but standards have seriously slipped. Men's toilets were filthy, only one cubicle not disgusting. From the ingrainedness of the dirt they clearly haven't been properly / deep cleaned for months, so this can't be a once off. Needs investigating.

Travelled up on a Sunday evening and stopped at services. Arrived at around 7:30 and lots of the food outlets already closed so difficult to make healthy choices. Recycled plastic bins were overflowing in entrance. Hand dryers in men’s toilets are positioned right i doorway so creates a bottleneck for people leaving/coming in. Fuel prices were ridiculously high compared to standard pump prices. Not a drop off I would recommend at all.

On a coach tour returning from Ireland heading for Warwickshire. Not impressed looked like a pig sty . Another coach pulled out as we arrived. The tables had empty food bags and empty drinks cups. All the bins were overflowing so hadn’t been emptied for hours, this was at 4.30 am . So why couldn’t the McDonald’s staff clear in between when it got quieter

Generally a good services to stop at. We've always found it clean and presentable. There's a number of fast food (or sit in) cafe style places to get snacks and good coffee. If you're in a rush, there's a drive through Costa that are super friendly and fast. The petrol station is also quick to access and we've never had to queue. Quick on/off the motorway, well designed.

Stopped in for a desperately needed coffee. I opted for a Costa……..well I won’t make that mistake a second time. The costa concession was heaving, I wasted nearly 20 minutes waiting for my order. Quite frankly, if the staff put in as much effort in making the drinks (as per their job description) as they did talking to each other i might have received a decent cappuccino. Well worth avoiding

Without doubt the worst motorway services that I have ever visited. It was presumably built to cater for a tenth of the people that were there yesterday. Long queue from the slip road to the car park, male lavatories so full of people I turned away, food outlets all had vast queues, and if you perservered in the queue, you’d be one of the many who were forced to eat and drink standing up as there were no spare tables at all. DO NOT STOP HERE.

Ate at Leon and it was the worst food I've ever had at a motorway services. Ordered fish fingers wrap but got jerk and jam. Didn't have time to wait in queue and return it so decided to make the most and eat it anyway. There were bones in the meat. The baked fries with the meal were lukewarm and soggy. The tea was more milk than anything else. Add to this that the cubicle walls in the ladies' toilets was encrusted with something brown and drippy looking that had obviously been there for some time and several hand driers were not working. Not even a one star experience unless a minus sign comes before it!

Called in for an early dinner and chose the fresh food kitchen. Fish and chips were freshly cooked and Mac n cheese both delicious. A Young woman called Katie served us with a smile and efficiency . Busy girl obviously but she found time for a chat and a joke between customers as I waited. Delighted to see my meal plated but served on a hygienic newspaper wrapper. I haven t had that since I was a kid so as I munched I was able to read about the history of the British favourite meal. Old school and a nice touch. Pete from Mc’Donalds looked after us at our table and gave us some tips and hints about what the services has to offer. A great advocate for his restaurant and the services . Toilets shops and facilities all up to scratch just as you d expect on the toll road.

Thank goodness for Costa - the only outlet that had decaf tea, but by the time I queued and got it, on returning to the family, they had finished their food and had to watch me dispose of mine. Toilets adequate although a couple of taps didn't seem to work and one hand drier was out of order.

I stopped on the way back up north at the Norton Canes services. I paid £13 for Chilli Chicken, Loaded fries and a fresh sqeezed orange juice.The Chilli Chicken came in a small cardboard tray with some rice and a tub of sauce. There were about 6 pieces of chicken in the meal I wouldn't have thought it was more than half a breast of chicken. Obviously microwaved and not that appealing to the eye.The loaded fries were even worse. The portion size was OK, but what came was a cardboard tray of potato lattices, covered with what I'm guessing is some form of liquid american cheese and some jalapeños. The chips were soggy and again quite Obviously microwaved.There is a big slogan above the counter "Naturally Good Food". Its just a rip off! I should have just gone to McDonald's. When you look in comparison to my earlier meal driving South I had a Subway Salad box. Loads of chicken, bacon and cheese. Plenty of salad a packet of crisps and a coffee for about £8.I would definitely never stop at a LEON again. Terrible meal fkr the price. They think they can slap money on the top and call it health food. How about concentrating on the quality before you charge the earth for a poxy meal!

Many were not wearing masks and the place did not seem very clean, this being especially true of the ladies loos. Didnt feel like eating in here at all.

Called in for pit stop, refuelling car and myself. As with most service stations the loos are miles from the door. It a marketing ploy. Make you walk past the retail and food offering. However it’s a design error if you’re disabled. I can’t walk that far. So had to get the wheelchair out.Next fuel for the car. They operate an attendant fill service for the disabled. It’s on an app. Log in, enter pump number, and someone arrives. Magic.

Having come across the service station on a return journey to the south from Scotland last summer, we decided to stop there again when returning back south this year. Norton Canes is a great place to stop with good facilities.The service station is well laid out, nice and clean and with good COVID precautions remaining in place. The outside picnic area and landscaping with walks is a bonus especially as we travel with our dog. On our recent visit unfortunately I managed to leave my mobile phone behind, however on contacting the duty manger the phone had been handed in and was subsequently posted back to me. Great customer service. So thanks to the person who found my phone/handed it in and thanks to the staff for returning it to me.

The services are a victim of their own success. Great experience but for the toilets. I use a wheelchair so have to use accessible toilets. I went into one, which frankly was appalling. I know you can’t be held responsible for the way customers leave them. I have a radar key so I tried the changing place instead, which was at least clean, but the toilet was blocked, so I couldn’t use that, so it was back to one of the accessible ones. The floor was very wet, and soiled incontinence pad left on the toilet seat. The only person to blame was the person who left it. However there was no one around to report the state of the place or the blocked toilet to. Perhaps they could be checked/cleaned a bit more frequently.

There is a good selection of food on offer as well as two shops - Spar and WH Smiths - as always the food is expensive but at least the quality is much, much better. The eating areas are much cleaner with plenty of staff around to keep it that way. Biggest gripe is cost of goods in the shops which are massively inflated but this is common in all services.

I have always understood that the car park was for the use of patrons, and on this occasion I did nothing other than use the toilets with a 95 year old man, order some very expensive food, eat it, and leave.

Plenty of parking and loads of all the usual outlets within. Toilets very clean but miles from the main door. Worth calling in at the Costa for a fast bite and drink

I have just been to Costa Coffee in the services and I am appalled in the way I have just been spoken to by a member of staff. I am at the services at least 5x a week and I will make sure now my business goes else where. The lack of customer service and the awkwardness of the staff at Costa Coffee is disgusting and rude. Not only that the member of staff admitted she was being Awkward. Would I recommend them the answer is NO!!!!

Arrived just before 10pm. Place was quiet so surprised how filthy the seating area was with rubbish left on floor and tables in need of a decent clean.

Took 10 minutes from my order being placed to get a cheeseburger, one cheeseburger. System in place with orders by number is not useful at all. Having worked at a McDonalds previously I know you could make 2 full runs of burgers in that time let alone put one in a bag.

Always been happy with these services since they were opened. Nice to pay the toll price and have a quiet motorway and fairly crowd free service station. Always tend to have a coffee at the costa outlet and no problems.

Because it is on the Toll section of the M6 this service is never very full so service tends to be quite fast. Reasonable selection of outlets inside with plenty of seating available.

We stopped for a late breakfast here. The young man who served us was pleasant, the women cooking was suffering a meltdown for some reason. The services were full to overflowing and the worst thing was the disgusting state of the mens toilets absolutely filthy. This used to be one of the best services now it is way down the list.

Typical motorway services, Mc Donald’s Costa, WH Smith Etc, nice clean place with plenty of food choices and seating. 2hrs free parking. No better or worse than most of the other services on the M6. We would stop here again though.

Food etc is exactly what I'd expect from a service station. What I didn't expect was a very helpful young man, who was clearing tables. His name is Chris and both times I've visited he has helped me with my tray and generally made sure I was OK. This is to thank him. You made my visit much better. Thanks Chris. Gave this a 4 because of him. He would geta5

When the place opened it was a novelty and something new - and all that. But now it’s joined the lowly ranks of most other service stations.

As Service Areas go, its OK... but its a pity our standards are so low! The larger seating area is much better, and cleaner.

Our coachload of travellers stopped here for a comfort break.Fortuitously, the toilets were being cleaned , so were all clean. Often these places are pretty filthy with wet floors and wet paper lying around, so it was a pleasant surprise to find clean facilities. Costa coffee had 2 sections and, as I got to the front of the queue, was told, very rudely that it was now closed and I had to go to the other one!!!!! The staff at the second venue were far more interested in talking to each other than actually serving the customers. When my coffee finally arrived, it was not very good - lukewarm and very weak.A better option for coffee is probably the Macdonalds situated close by. The service area itself is spacious , with ample seating inside and out. There are numerous vendors indoors including a mini supermarket; W.H. Smith and other outlets. The services were very crowded, but at no time did I feel that the facilities couldn't cope. The prices are high - there is a captive audience. On the whole, it's a convenient stop on the M6, but definitely avoid Costa coffee!!

Can’t believe Costa charging £3.49 for a distasteful flat white. It was milky, not storing, nothing close to a flat white and dearer than London prices. If you’re going to charge an arm and a leg for it at least have an above decent coffee. Threw it out and got a better tasting coffee for half ten price at Macdonalds nearby. Needless to say I know where I won’t be getting my hot drinks from in the future.

Having paid the toll to travel with ease on the M6 after travelling back from France with our caravan. We were disappointed to find 3 vans parked in the caravan parking area, which with the already parked caravans and cars meant we could not park. We therefore could not have the much needed break we needed. This is not the first time we have experienced this problem at Norton Canes Services, meaning that the parking is not monitored. With there only being 6 spaces for caravans to park this must be supervised more strictly or signage put in place to deter none caravan visitors parking in those spaces specifically designated only for caravans.

Two of the four baby change rooms were open. Both were ankle deep in piss. One had used nappies all over the floor as the bin hadn't been emptied.

There is nothing wrong with the facilities per se but they are not the largest and, given their location as one of the first stops north of Birmingham are very popular both with car drivers and with coaches.

Having a bad day. Arrived in cafe right on 5 o’clock. The lady at the counter, Kim, very kindly made me a cappuccino and told me not to rush drinking it. Such kindness makes a real difference. Thank you Kim. Plus the coffee was great.
