Red Lion Truck Stop in South Northamptonshire

Very busy parking, but in a strategic place. Rich menu in the restaurant, but there is much to be desired in terms of cleanliness!

An excellent restaurant in terms of interior, and just before Christmas, it’s really cool. Christmas tree, Christmas music. There is no food, zero. It doesn't taste good to me. Nowhere here at all. This is not the eastern part of Europe after all, not Belarus, not Ukraine, not Russia and not the Baltic states. The cuisine in Britain is weak, just like in the Netherlands or Belgium. Otherwise, excellent parking. Everything has been written about prices and vouchers. The shower is one of the best in Europe. The British are generally great at this matter. They have more space, more provision, and somehow everything is done more reliably. Even if it is shabby, it is reliable and equipped with everything necessary. The shower even has a separate space for changing clothes behind a partition. Two double and one powerful hook. This is completely rare (very often you want to bring a whole truckload of hooks to Europeans). So here your things will be dry. In Europe, there is generally a problem with the reasonable design and equipment of showers and toilets. They definitely do not do this for themselves, but so that they can simply do it without thinking. I like the British better in this matter

Good park, with snap, quiet and good food, clean showers

Very quiet for time of day. A lot of European drivers parked there

The best place in Northampton for truck drivers.!

A great place, the barmaid is just a super professional 5 stars....

Payment snap, travis....dkv, at 18.30 the cars are like sprat in a bank, I'm afraid I won't go out tomorrow....

I just had an amazing burger meal called texan stack,oh my gosh it was so so delicious, I'm glad I stop here tonight

It has all amenities, very tasty food, friendly staff, nice shop. Peaceful, quiet and cozy.

Parking has vastly improved over the years. It's not like the moon anymore but get crowded very early. Meals are massive! Look at my beef madras, it had chips, salad, rice and naan bread with it. Called at lunchtime and had a steak, cheese and onion baguette. Other truckstop establishments could learn a thing or two by visiting here. Look at my other reviews to see where I've been!

Large parking with the possibility of payment via SNAP. Payment is made in the cafe (there is a Russian-speaking girl). If through SNAP, then with an additional payment of 1 pound they give a voucher for 6 pounds. It is more profitable to pay in cash or by card, then they will give you a voucher for 12 pounds. The portions are large and there is a lot of choice. They will also give you a token for visiting the shower (7 minutes). When the cafe closes, the toilets open outside. The parking lot fills up very quickly, even on weekends. A security guard will meet you at the entrance and, having found out what time you plan to leave, he will tell you where to stay. It's jammed to capacity. You can go or go to the city. All the best.

Hello colleagues, very good parking, everything is available. If you pay Snap for a day, 31 pounds give you a voucher for food at 6 feet, if you have a shower, you have to pay an extra 1 pound.

Very good organization of the parking lot Good conditions for shower and toilet A bar-restaurant with a good menu and vouchers also has supplies for truck drivers

I started in the morning after working all night, woke up in the evening and saw the car blocked by other cars, the loading was disrupted... Nowhere is it written about this that you are blocking the exits from the parking lot!

Very good Truck Stop Delicious cuisine!!! Showers, washing machines

1. They work according to SNAP, including 2. The parking lot is packed very tightly, so you need to accurately indicate the end time of the pause, otherwise you won’t be able to leave. 3. You can add one pound and you will receive a voucher for 6 pounds for food from the cafe menu 4. Shower for seven minutes, you can’t pause it. Works with a token

Craziest truck stop I've been to, in a good way of course. I always make an effort to stop here, great food and great amenities. 150 truck spaces too.

A huge parking lot in a very good location. Cultural service, professional parking. A car shop is available for drivers. A high-quality bar. Clean showers, toilets. In addition, there is an ATM and washing machines. The restaurant staff deserves especially great respect.

We ( wife & me ) had a fantastic experience at the Red Lion Truck Stop thanks to Flori, the bartender. Flori was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring every customer felt welcome and well taken care of. The service was quick, and the atmosphere she created was warm and inviting. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and her positive energy made the visit truly enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back!

Brother turn on the heating inside too the restaurant the people is getting freezing inside all the stuff end the customer end you staying home nice end chill…..Is good isn’t i think you forgot from where you live before big boss what you are don’t look just after you because when will go you not take nothing don’t forgot this think 😉😉

Very safe parking. I paid by card. After 6 p.m., it's hard to find a place... Food OK. There is also a Polish accent. The gentleman who served me is Polish. It was nice. The rest - standard. WIFI, toilet, shower... I recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, now going to be a key stop on every M1 journey for me.

The breakfast was satisfactory. However, the cost of the carbonated beverages was excessive.

Great parking! helpful staff at the bar and delicious food and large portions. I recommend it

Good food and clean place but way to overcrowded.

Face didn't fit, refused overnight parking as, according to gatekeeper, 'we're full'

A lovely place to turn around when you go the wrong way

Great food and safe truck park.

Paid secure parking with an excellent restaurant. Shower provided.

Food too expensive, Showers perfect,

The parking lot gets congested from 5 p.m. it depends on the time you leave if you are received or not Good food, clean shower

Onsite fuel available also food & drink if you want it. My only criticism is the trucks are all parked too tight together, if there was ever a fire it would be nigh on impossible to get everyone out safely as your movement is greatly restricted by other vehicles.

Never any space been blocked in twice won't be stopping again

Absolutely lovely truckstop like this. One the best in Uk. Always with brilliant service ,tasty food ,nice atmosphere for nights rest. There is little shop for truckers needs. Truck wash spot on as well. Toilets and showers clean. And fill up station makes life easier.

Top place in terms of food and parking, but you cannot pay with RABOBANK PAS

Clean parking, which is not often the case in England. Payment SNAP/DKV. £1 food voucher. Good kitchen. Token shower (7 min). It's better to come here before 17:00

Everything was very good. The food is delicious and plentiful (110%), the staff is kind and helpful, the toilet and bathroom are clean and spacious (bathroom) and the atmosphere is good. the only thing that's bad is the bad wifi signal, it's very weak in the parking lot and always drops 😓 but still... Thanks for the hospitality and I'll be back 😉😊

Great place and easy to get to. Good breakfast apart from the lousy sausages. Standard awful catering rubbish with more filler than meat, anaemic looking and dull. Truckers deserve much better than that - Please get some decent bangers and you will get 5 stars !!

Great parking. Delicious food, large portions. Voucher 6f for 1f, you can take a maximum of two for one parking. It's worth it. Token shower. The only downside is the heavy traffic and the need to estimate the departure time, otherwise it may turn out that someone will be put in front of you and you won't be able to leave earlier. The regulations include a provision on the lack of liability for damage, losses and theft. There is information on the outside that you can pay with as24, but there is no information inside, nor is it possible to pay with this card. Overall, it's worth coming here.

The parking lot is fine, minus the fact that they are not responsible for losses resulting from theft or other events. There is security and cameras. A food voucher worth PLN 6 for PLN 1, you can take one or two. The food is delicious. WiFi is slow in the restaurant, there is a lot of traffic. It's worth coming here.

Parking to be praised There is plenty of room, the food is great, the showers are clean

Not really impressed like the others talking, not bad but i may pass again.

SNAP parking. They give a ticket for food and a token for a shower. Shower for seven minutes. not start stop. I didn't like the food, the steak was overcooked and the vegetables turned into coals. Potatoes are delicious. Fresh onion rings. The woman at the cash desk speaks Russian. The parking lot is crooked and dirty, count the departure time, cars are blocking it.

Fenced parking lot, clean toilets, good food at the bar, wi-fi. Token-operated showers, generally OK.

Great parking. Great facilities. Great food.

Parking with a restaurant, clean toilets and showers, very good food! 💪

A very ok parking lot with everything you want, shower, toilet, Wi-Fi, restaurant, very good food

Nice place. You can take a shower, eat and drink. A lot of trucks park here.

Safe and secure and really nice food. I'm not a fan of the way they completely box you in when parking overnight so only 4 stars.

Food amazing great night sleep all good from my experience

Good value for money and good choice of food.

Great place, always a pleasure. Good food, love the music but 7 minutes is not enough time for a female to shower. Kind man over heard me talking about it and gave me his token

I'm here often and for me one of the best in the UK... Keep it up, you're great...

Great truck stop good food good service and staff

The only thing I don't like about this truck stop is you packed in like sardines. Just hope there is never a fire there

Large parking lot with good staff, payment is also made by snap. The cafe, where they cook diverse and tasty. Old and clean shower. When you pay, you get a free shower. There is also a peco station on the territory, where when filling up with more than 150 liters of diesel, you get a free coffee or tea, only when presenting the receipt. Good luck and safe travels!

Mixed grill was enough for two.

Why on earth would you allow people to book in to a truckstop which is guaranteed to fill up every night? Arrived st 18:45 to be turned away by these two useless idiots who told me despite there being loads of room, there were 20 trucks booked in, not all of which turned up I bet. These same idiots who ask what time you're leaving then say "no, you need to leave at this time" !!! Stop booking trucks in early, let them stay nearer London if they know they're going to be late. You don't even answer the phone after 2pm ....

I recommend a large, nice parking lot, I'm here again, free WiFi, bar, truck wash, clean and fragrant showers and toilets. At the checkout, provide your car number and company name. Food voucher for £6 or £12 and a shower token for a 7-minute shower only, payment by card or snap. When things get tight, security comes to help with parking. I recommend.

Greetings to the Romanian woman from the bar

They helped me a lot because it was my first time.

The stop and facilities are faultless, yet the wash is a con of the highest order from £40 which is really high enough considering, too £60 because of a ribbed trailer, thing was I didn't even want the trailer washing, but the guy was so impatient he didn't give me chance to say just walked of won't ever use there again

Many drivers stop at this parking area expecting quality food, but after my meal today, I noticed it's just like other parking spots: large portions but poor quality. Also, finding a free bathroom in the morning is quite an adventure.

60p a slice of bread..this is insane..is 1 pound one bread...very expense all the things there

Parking is cool. Very large portions of food, as well as pleasant staff.

A nice place with a nice atmosphere, well-kept, although there is something wrong with the reservation. I made a reservation at Travis for 11 p.m., something took a while at customs and unloading, I only arrived at 1 a.m. Everything was packed, first time in the parking lot, tired, no staff anywhere, I thought they were sleeping at that time. I snuggled up somewhere so as not to disturb too much, closed the tacho, went to the pub, open only at 6, there was no one in sight, so I went to sleep. At 2 there was a knock from security and told me to leave the area because I was disturbing others from leaving. After explaining the matter, I was told to just move forward slightly without breaking the pause. At 3 a.m. I woke up again, this time backwards, and I managed to sleep the rest of the night without any problems. Overall, a very nice and popular place, the only drawback is a huge problem with parking late in the evening.

If they are arranged tightly, you may not leave at the time you need

Had truck wash. Great service. Done a cracking job. Would recommend.

In the last review, I wrote that the wifi works poorly and now they have fixed it... it works perfectly. The toilet is clean, the food is good. Good progress.

It is an excellent location, the staff, the girls are from Romania, they are ok, helpful, score 10

I made a reservation online for parking. Welcoming and reassuring service. I am removing one star for the poor quality of the internet network, whether mobile (relay antenna) or wifi. It was difficult for me to work on my accounting during this parking

Not too sure what's going on in the kitchen this weekend but I've had 2 breakfasts on 2 different mornings and the tomatoes are cold as if they were just pulled from the tin, the beans were piping hot on Saturday but stone cold Sunday and the hash browns had been refried from yesterday.

A good truck stop with great restaurant, shop, bar and showers. The fuelling facilities are good too. The only downside is the parking, I can’t help but think…. One night there will be a fire in the middle of the parking area where all of the trucks are jammed in tight and it’ll turn into a major disaster. For this reason and because they don’t allow running fridges, I don’t park here.

One of the best truck stops. Quite expensive, but safe and clean. And the food is first class for English bars on the highway.

Things have got better. Can't fault this.

"Red Lion" Excellent large SNAP parking (fills up until 18:00, the valet must be told the check-out time), safe, quiet, washing machine (6 £ wash + dry), car wash, ATM, clean toilets, shower (7 minute token), food voucher 6 £, chic English-style pub, varied selection of dishes, larger portions, very tasty, variety of draft beer, friendly friendly staff, special thanks to Alexander the bartender! 🤝 I recommend it!

Food like at the best restaurant grade 10! I'll be back!😊

Big parking lot, delicious food, but I don't like that there are trucks parked in front of the trucks, the parking lot is bursting at the seams

The best truck stop in uk fair enough we are jammed in like sardines but will take some beating only down fall no showers early morning take out 2 toilets and put in 2 showers outside then its 100 percent and not 99 percent 😃😃😃😃

Organized Parking, Friendly Security, Good Food and Nice Showers

Great parking lot order nice staff. Food is good, cleanliness of the toilets, a good enough truck stop.

Large parking lot, but very popular, so you don't have to be there for the evening, great cooking, big enough portions

Best truck stop around, good restaurant.

Great morning service staff explained evrything nicely

Service very good polite and speedy

They park you up for a 1.30am start but you can't get out cos your blocked in .Words fail me .

Very spacious, eats well and they do not accept refrigerators

Nice Snap. In the evening it is better to reserve. After 18.00 there may be no space available. Purely.

Large square. SNAP. They arrange it for the night according to the departure time. Token-free shower (one token per night of parking). £6 for £1 voucher. Good food in the bar. There is also a shop on site.

Will definitely come again! The food is very tasty, clean and friendly staff!!!

Wonderful parking with all the amenities, snap, paid £1 extra and received a £6 voucher for a store and restaurant.

Very good place to park. Clean hygiene facilities. Service excellent. Very friendly staff

Visited for breakfast from recommendations ,first time breakfast was Luke warm ,second time my breakfast was stone cold ,arrived at 10 am so only just opened ,first breakfast I had to send back to then get a second one that was marginally warmer with half the ingredients on it ,it would actually have been nice if it was warmer ,I won’t return . Place has plenty of seating and looked clean. .

Very nice, quiet, peaceful parking lot. There are washing machines costing £3.50 and dryers costing £2.50 which have built-in chemicals. Clean toilets and clean showers included in the parking price. I recommend

Parking's ok showers average only thing that let's it down are the grumpy staff members

The breakfast is great, there is also coffee, tea ... everything you need. Perdonala is kind and explains comprehensibly and slowly for foreigners ... it's great

The morning services are very good, the staff is very helpful. A location to which I will definitely return with pleasure, every time

Came here first time great morning service from staff bar

A parking lot is a parking lot, there are better and worse ones... This one is better... There's nothing crazy about it
