Roadchef Taunton Deane M5 Northbound in Taunton Deane

Lovely experience at Taunton Deane northbound today!

Worst services in the UK. Stopped here with promises of noodles, jacket potatoes and even a pasty. Turned up to find everything shut apart from McDonalds and Costa. The toilets were terrible and we regretted every second of our decision to stop here

But of await to get a drink at McDonald’s only 2 serving

No worse than any othermotorway

Services are fine, the toilets however are filthy, they have not been cleaned properly for months. Floors disgusting stuff behind lots of toilets, seats hanging off. They need a deep clean and the floors and cubicles scrubbing. Taunton Dene management should take a look a Gloucester Farm shop services. It is possible to keep toilet services clean.

Had items I wanted. Clean. Staff friendly.

Not good at the moment lots of construction going on at the moment and the shots aren’t that good either.

We ordered 3 burgers from McDonald's. One was made to order and came warm. The other two were cold. My husband asked for a replacement and the staff were clearly unhappy. We then saw one of them spit in the burger before giving it to us. We took it and immediately binned it. We have alot of McDonald's for lots of different outlets all over the country. This has to be the worst by far. There were no recycling bins. And the services toilets wreaked of stale urine.

McDonald staff are rude as hell

Stopped to use the toilet about 4 am on the way to the airport. We didn’t need food and only WH Smith was open. The urinals were ok but the WC’s were either closed or so dirty/blocked they couldn’t be used. Guess the cleaners come in later. Fuel was 30 pence more per litre than at my local petrol station.

So so ...very expensive for what you get

Toilet floor was very very wet as you walked in. Very slippy. Didn't look particularly clean

Great place to stop for a coffee or food and to use the restroom facilities.

Feels a bit dated and painful to get into.

A passable motorway service area with limited facilities.

Very friendly, helpful staff. They were quick and efficient. There was plenty of seating and it was very light due to the big windows. I really enjoyed myself

It's ok, but the toilets weren't the best

Great place to stop off to use the toilets, everything else, food, drinks and fuel etc are a rip-off, very expensive

Good clean services, over priced but what services aren't 😂

Like all of these motorway stops loads there but far to exspensive

Wide range of sandwiches in WH Smith with Costa coffee machine for someone trying to stay away from fast food though McDonald's is next door. Good parking spaces. Will be good to have outside benches painted. Good place to stop.

Slip road off motorway into services for HGV requires resurfacing at Costa drive through.

Average services. some things expensive. can get very busy.

Stopped there on the way to Bristol for a gig.

McDonald’s and indoors are filthy and disgusting. Flies in sauces, black burnt bits in fries and surroundings are unclean.

Be careful when entering the site. If you are going past the carpark, there are very large potholes alongside the Costa drive through. Slow right down. All they have done to them is put a couple of cones over the bad ones. It's been like this for 3 years and only getting worse. I suggest all vehicles go through the car park instead.

Lots of places to grab a snack or meal though it can be a bit expensive.

Went to get a chocolate milkshake at McDonald's and stopped at garage to get air in tyres on trailer

Expensive exploitation of motorway users. A bag of sweet is 4 times the price in a local shop

A great stop off point on your way.

Service station with large parking area, petrol station and various fast food outlets including Macdonald's

One of several pee stops for the daughters

Driving passed costa drive thru’ to peteol station . Road service is an absolute disgrace #carpetbombed

Absolute dump, toilets are disgusting, service in the food outlets very poor, food bang average, will avoid at all costs in the future

Services and good place for a break during a drive

Possibly the most depressing service area on the planet

Welcome halfway break for travelling between Wales and Devon. Plenty of parking, shops selling fast food, drinks and sandwiches. Restrooms are very well cleaned and managed.

A place to stop take a breather,A bite to eat and have a drink

How do you deal with a stop for food if you are on your own with a dog? You are not allowed to(not that you would want to) leave them alone in a car. Not sure if it is official, but there are not any no dogs signs, and there are plenty inside. Sat and ate with our two cavaliers inside and were not challenged. Really hope it is the start of some sense. There are good outside eating and grassed exercise areas, but they are not much good when it is dark, pouring with rain and -2°. In the summer would be happy to sit with the dogs outside but so nice to not be treated like second class citizens and allowed to have them under the table.

As far as services go it's a little smaller compared to others on the same journey, however I've no real complaints, only that during my visit we had exceptionally bad traffic which made this place very busy, and I was unable to purchase anything without having to wait for extended periods of time

Great place to rest during the night for truckers

Toilets were extremely unsanitary.

Great service station, that i use often

Nice coffee etc,but we'll over priced compared to you high St costa.

Handy motorway services between j26 and j25

I had a good experience stopping at this service station.

Nice friendly staff, clean environment and great food, quick and persistent service

Nice enough … standard uk services

Really gone downhill, only Costa or MacDonalds available north bound. Fine for a quick stop but that’s it.

Pretty tired. Not much of anything there. Toilets discusting

Used these services for a quick stop. Toilets are clean.

Needs a bit of TLC but it is what it is

Everything I wanted in a motorway services

Stopped for coffee. Soulless and no toilets in Costa.

Unstaffed and expensive!! Didn't consume!!

Parked overnight at Taunton Deane services North on 21/10/24. Just about to order a McDonald's meal & noticed a RAT Running around the kitchen. At no point did they close the kitchen & just carried on serving unsuspecting customers. Totally unacceptable!

Everywhere was clean and tidy. All staff were nice. Maccies was fresh and tasted amazing.

Great place to stop for food and use facilities

Flying visit but loos were clean well lit and odour free . Shops pricy but well stocked .

Great place to stop for food and drink

Dirty! Flies in the toilets and McDonald’s area (indoors), could understand if there were flies getting in in summer but it’s October. Baby change table is gross, not cleaned in the hinges and it smells of urine! Toilets were filthy

Over powering smell of urine in the main building.

A great motorway service station

Had a great coffee here staff were very friendly and helpful

Amenities very useful driving back to wales from Cornwall great place to rest

Avoid keep driving unless you need the loo

Adequate!? Good electric charging points that work! Just plug in, swipe card and go to eat! Gridserve come up trumps again!

Very poor food choice . Only a McDonalds inside and a coffee chain outside. Not everyone wants Burgers and Coffee. Definitely one to drive straight by next time

Busy MSA, staff are friendly, and there is the bonus of the Cornish Bakery selling nice coffee and pasties. Really friendly people manning the stall, and there were at pains to warn me that my cheese and onion pasty had just come out of the oven, and it would be very hot... it was! However, the toilets were a mess, with one member of staff fighting against a rising tide of detritus! It had the feel of somewhere that had been suffering from a lack of maintenance for a while. Other outlets available are Costa, McDonalds, and W H Smith... with a Costa drive-through available as well.

Ideal toilet stop and maybe a.meal nice and clean

This is our usual family stop over. Maybe it was the time of day on arrival. Car park was full, especially the disabled parking, it makes it hard to sort out wheelchairs etc from just a normal car parking slot. The amenities clean and tidy and a good choice of vendors on site

Managed to find a place to park. Was able to walk the fogs and find somewhere to sit whilst having a drink and something to eat

Good car park and typical motorway service station facilities...fuel was very expensive.

Always clean and tidy. Can always park easily with a caravan

Excellent 👌🏼 2hrs FREE Parking 🅿️ Nice 👌🏼 Stop 🛑 For Resting 😌 & Eating 🍽️

Finest McDonald's french Fry's I've tasted in a very long time.

Drove in at 7am on Thursday 12th sept with the aim of having a McDonald’s breakfast, walk into building to see the McDonald’s entrance has been taped off but all the staff stood looking out, upon further looking it looks like they had set up a course for customers too navigate there way through to place your order (which at 7am is stupid because there was only 4 customers at the time) couldn’t be bothered to play the game of the McDonald’s staff so went to the garage and had a bacon butty and a Costa from there. I understand at busy times of the day they may have to control the thousands of hungry and thirsty punters but at 7am nah, take away the tape early mornings we ain’t all sheep

Made a short stop here on a long coach journey from Cornwall. This is a small services, but it has a large parking area with plenty of spaces, and you get two hours free parking. The ladies toilets were adequately clean, but a few of them were out of order. Not a lot of food options when we visited either. There's a large McDonald's and a W H Smith inside the main building, and also a spacious picnic area with a row of food kiosks - Chozen Noodle, Jacket Spud, Cornish Bakery - that would have offered more choice, but they were closed. Managed to get a decent caramel latte at the Costa Coffee, which had a comfortable seating area and friendly staff. Overall not the best services we could have stopped at, but okay for a quick coffee/comfort stop.

Much better than Exeter services

This services feels tired and in need of a refresh. Middle of a Saturday and most options/kiosks were closed. Is ok if you want costs or Mc Ds

4.5 Whether it's north east or south west one on the opposite side they're both very decent have more than the basics than what you need and it's a good place to let a dog out for a quick walk and to do their stuff plenty of parking as well

The most I can say is it's crowded they had paths and trails for nice walks just over all wasn't the best

North bound The food areas clean and lady in WH Smith very helpful The grounds are nice for stretching legs . However the toilets where discussing We always stop at this services and never seen it like this

Don’t recall anything good or bad about this services

Well worth stopping if you're passing.

Absolutely disgusting services Filthy, the staff in McDonalds haven’t got a care in the world, no pressure at all, yabbiting is obviously more important than clearing the customer queue. I thought I was coming to a welcome break, not a stressful break. I’ll by pass it next time. Edited: oh then went in to Costa on the same site & nearly got robbed Asked for 1 medium hot chocolate & a large, so I got 2 medium, joke

Toilets are very very dirty and smelly. I would avoid these services.

Same as every other service's. Did notice that none of the electric car chargers were working. Thank god for petrol and diesel

Toliets in the service station had all of the sanitary bins overflowing in nearly every toliet and then there are banner up about teenagers starting there periods doesn't show them a good impression

Really pleased with the services

Good experience overall. They have a microwave in the baby food prep area which took my attention :)

If you don't need to stop here, would avoid. McDonald's is the only indoor eatery. £5 packet sandwiches from WHSmith next door the main other option. There are stalls outside but most were closed.

Dogs allowed inside and staff offered biscuits to them. Bins all overflowing around the site.

Like this services.. Not masses of options but slightly less commercial amd manic than some services

Stopped for much needed break, fortunately I did bring fruit and yogurt as nowhere catered for GF I didn't mind to much not many places do, guy in Costa very helpful and cheerful, it was an exceptionally busy day and all the staff must have been overwhelmed,

Clean, tidy and good toilet facilities on the way home

Very nice place to stop after a long journey, clean, friendly staff and good facilities

Stopped on way back from day trip to south west as did southbound on way there. Impressed with the changes from long ago I called in and again, everything is great for passengers. Clean, tidy and friendly staff.. Well done

Excellent stop off on our way home, clean site, pasties!! And friendly staff, would stop here again!

Place you needed to stop. Dont make any other stop, just route it here. Keep your pee and hold it tight till you get here because the facilities are above standards. I wish this is not in the middle of the forest so I can always bring my kids here. 😍
