Stracathro Services in Angus

Had an appointment at the next door Stracathro Hospital, which we arrived early for, so thought we'd kill some time and grab a coffee. What a dump, talk about a desolate looking place, it was like something out of a post apocalyptic movie, think 28 days later and you'd not be far wrong. Im guessing this place hasn't had a bit of furnature purchased or lick of paint applied this millenium. I'm so glad we only ordred coffee as after seeing the state of the toilets on the way out it would certainly put me off ever eating any food in the place even though the food pics in the other reviews look good. I found the toilets through smell rather than sight and it was very apparant why they absolutley stank of piss, i've seen better toilets at a 1980's football stadium than this place. Note in the pictures the wase pipe from the urine trough isn't even connected to a drain, it just runs onto a tile gully which is open to the room. Quite how Angus Council allows such standards at a place that serves food is baffling.

My normal stop over when going up or down to Aberdeen both lunch & breakfast very good always hot nice staff prices excellent

Asked for cheese on toast and was told that they don't have a grille 2nd choice was an omelette.......... Sorry we don't do them. What kind of a kitchen is this............ A pretty poor 1 in my opinion

RIP off and they know it. Notice that they have no headline price board on pole as normal. £1.89 a litre when every other station around 1.59 Avoid avoid avoid

Stopped off here as our first choice peggy scotts was jammed with cones and could not work out how to navigate. everything is outdated and run down. from the choices I picked soup and a cheese and onion toastie with a cake. It was passable beggars can't be choosers. would not rush back and would not recommend. was up and out as soon as finished eating.

This place should be knocked down toilets stink shower there's 1 not great food terrible its never changed in over 30yrs

Good and clean shower and toilet not the luxurious level but if you live on planet earth .Food is tasty and fresh made on spot.People are kind and willing to go extra mile for you.In the morning I was leaving before they open and they prepared breakfast on spot for me to warm up in the morning .Good place to stop for night.

dirty toilets and washing facilities very bad parking area seriously bad food even the crisps were out of date over priced crap never in 33 years of driving have i stopped at a place like this and had deli-belly next day.there is a shop that sells loads of stuff but overpriced in my opinion

Stopped for some dinner. Had chips and cheese and partner had a burger. Cant wrong with chips, I really enjoyed it but burger was on the cheap side, still okay though as it was big hearty portions.Nice shop with loads of cool nick nacky things. Very clean kitchen and strict covid practices which was good. Seems decent enough stop for truck drivers too. Needs updating but quite like the blast from the past :p

I was in on Wednesday 27th October for a quick bit to eat. A sausage roll looked good and I also fancied a roll with a sausage slice.My god this was pathetic. The sausage slice should never have been put across the counter as you could have soled my boots with it. The pastry of the sausage roll was OK but the sausage itself was rubber.I have always known this place was cheap and cheerful and have joked with people that if they want a descent tightener not to go there but this is now definitely worse. Please avoid at all costs.

stopped off for a snack around 2pm.Very little choice for food bought pies and a bridie. Pastry very hard and difficult to chew mince was disgusting even the dog never ate it . Might have just been a bad day for food but will not go back.

I just don’t get the bad reviews for this place. Compared to normal services this stop is phenomenal value. Yeah, there’s a few potholes on the car park and the place is old fashioned (but endearingly so) but 25 for overnight parking with a £20 (!??!) voucher that can be spent on anything from the food or shop or garage next door. I arrived late (7:30pm) so much fresh food had gone but I still got macaroni cheese, chips, beans, braised steak, 2 cans of Pepsi max, a cake, 2 bags of crisps and a red bull, sausage roll and Choc bar for tomorrow in exchange for my voucher. Good job all round, the staff are really pleasant too

This service area has been poor ever since I first stopped there in a lorry.It appears not to have been decorated since about 1975, seriously the decorative state is terrible.Also this service area, I stress service area is closed on the weekends both Saturday and Sunday when it’s busy, astoundingly it’s closed!The car park is lumpy and not surfaced at all really with huge potholes, it appears the owner or owners are averse to spending any money on this business.This is ridiculous for a service area, yes the petrol/diesel station is open but that’s it and the shop is not very good at all with rude staff in my experience.This is a so called service area to avoid at all costs.

Just stopped by chance with very little expectations as we have a dairy intolerance. Before I get to that, would recommend the black pudding. Nicely seasoned and tasty. Not too peppery neither. Chips were OK too. Absolutely amazed that they could offer a dairy alternative that is NOT soy based. A lovely surprise, and the young man serving was very amiable. Overall a stop off that exceeded my expectation.

this is not the first time i have had to stop here, being a trucker I have been here a few times,but when you have to find somewhere to eat and park up you dont always have a choice. Absolutely vile food, macaroni cheese, how can anyone go wrong with this...well they can and did, inedible and served with rock hard chips, not what you want or need after a long hard days work, truck stops are now few and far between but this is definitely not worth stopping at, no toilet facilities unless you opt to pay the £5 for a shower, my co worker parked up beside me and opted for the Stovies .disgusting slop, , tow expensive meals wasted, and coffee like tar .Cheap and cheerful...this is neither..drive on..

My Partner and myself stopped off here for lunch, they were only doing takeout, rightly so due to the coronavirus. We were shocked at what we got to eat and the cost of it .It cost just sort of £21 for 2 teas and 2 beef olives and chip dinners, food was awful hardly anything to eat and when asked if there were any veg to go with it , the answer was no I didn’t bother today. That should have been our warning sign not to bother. Needless to say we won’t be back. I thought you got a standard 10% of for takeout food. ?

Called for a haggis breakfast served by a very pleasant tattooed lady.who for her pleasantries had no idea how to present food on a plate. She spooned tinned tomatoes all over the breakfast items then put 2 snotty cooked fried eggs on top of the tomatoes.it looked like a road accident on a plate.this made eating your breakfast items virtually impossible.the hash browns which were buried had turned to potato mush the haggis was dry and vile And why oh why can't you serve brown sauce in bottles I.e H.P.Instead of those crappy packets.All this for £7.99 of which I left 80%After battling through the Eggs and tomatoes. This cafe was awfull 35 years ago nothing as changed .Polite staff yes ...food quality NO.We Truck drivers demand better Get rid of all that Tack crap in your shop and concentrate on your Food quality and the presentation of it.

Plenty of parking (free) decent food at reasonable prices. Nothing fancy but just what you expect. Service ok as well

Must be the dearest take-away hot filled roll in the Country.£4 for a roll with two small bits of bacon and a thin slice of haggis. No sauce offered either, and no napkins, just chucked in a roll, put in a wee paper bag and then came the price.(£1.99 for the roll with 2 bits of bacon (UK average almost) , but then they charged another £1.99 for the slice of haggis, which didn't even come with a roll)Not all that tasty either, both bacon and haggis were pretty dry.Might just have to put up with a growling stomach the next time I am driving by, because I certainly won't be stopping here again.

Stopped off for breakfast. Omg it was disgusting! Hash browns were soggy and greasy, beans tasteless, haggis pudding tasted bitter......... don't go! Not worth the money!!!!

This place has not changed in years. That is not a good thing either. Dont eat the food and the toilets were not that clean at all. A trucker stop, so I would avoid if you can.

It ok if u just need a piss but that's all you would ever stop for. And even then that's a push. Bleach hands after return to car.

A90沿いにある昔ながらのサービスエリアで道路から少し中に入ったところにあるので、分かりずらく、一般車両よりもトラックの方の休憩ポイントとして利用されている雰囲気があります。なかにはお土産物やフィッシュ＆チップスなどの軽食のフードコートがありました。

Stopped here for breakfast, and both had a full breakfast. Noticed that the fried eggs had weird black dots all over the bottom of it. I didn't eat mine, but my partner ate both of his. For the rest of the day my partner complained of a sore stomach, and was off his food (usually unheard of). The diarrhoea started at around 5pm, he had shivers, stomach cramps, blurry vision, and the guy usually has the constitution of an ox. I had an uneasy stomach all day, but mine didn't come to anything... But I didn't eat the eggs.Would not recommend, for what they're charging they could have a nice place there, but it's run down and full of random tat for sale. Just an odd, poop inducing place.

Visited as a quick stopover for a light lunch. We each had a different soup but they were both tasty, filling and wholesome. Lots to like in the wee shop and a nice place to break your journey. Yes, it is a truck stop, but serves decent food at a very reasonable price.

Truck stop serving very basic food. Not for me. Television blaring away and greasy over cooked food.

On Stracathro Hospital’s doorstep the Services offer a gift shop, ideal for hospital visits and good wholesome no frills large portion meals. I stopped for a bacon and black pudding roll and a latte. Both were excellent, service was welcoming and prices were very reasonable, I will definitely be going back!

it is what it is..... a truck stop. I've read some previous reviews slating this "services" It is a TRUCK STOP. if you want good home cooking this is the place to go. no frills. good portions. great food. we have never had any issues . yes it's old fashioned and basic but piping hot coffee and good food. is better than all the frills and crap food. it is not expensive either under £8 for a main course is cheap.

I have stopped here a couple of times recently. It is used by lorry drivers and car drivers as well, the eating area being split into 2 sections. There is a good menu and I was impressed with the quality of the food. Prices were reasonable. There is also a shop area, newspapers, sweets etc. and also plants and miscellaneous items to browse through. Location good, just off main road, easy to access. Certainly somewhere I will continue to visit when travelling in the area.

Called in on the way to the hospital. The service was slow. Ordered two bacon and egg on buttered rolls. The food came from the hot plate. It was cold, the buttered rolls were a waste of time as the butter was just a small blob in the middle of the rolls. The highlight of the visit was the stench coming from the gents toilet. I waited until I was at the hospital. This place is the worst Service's I have ever been to. For what they charge the decor around the food counter, serving cold/warm food and the sub standard gents toilets, it should be shut until they upgrade the place.

Went in to meet a work colleague who was in my area. Had a bacon roll and a cup of tea. What could possibly go wrong eh?

Stopped for a snack, wished we hadn't. I had broccoli soup, husband had chicken broth. They looked lovely but both were tepid. We had a bread roll, no butter or margarine to be seen, no napkins either. Tables cleared but not wiped. Tea and coffee OK, hot. Loos needed a good scrub. En route to our destination I had to pull into a layby to be violently sick. Got to our B&B; where I was severely sick again. Poor hubby spent 10 minutes on the loo with SAVAGE diarrhoea. I tried lying down and was sick again but not so severely. As I came out the loo, hubby thundered in undoing jeans on the gallop, in there another 10 minutes. Next time the picnic basket will be pressed into service. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

this service station is great value never disappointed helpings are huge always piping hot staff are friendly . would like to see toilets upgraded aware it is a truck stop

used to go to a truckers' cafe in Australia - great food - moved to this area - went there - looked at the food - and left - good place to go if you want to kick start the diet - it will have you bed ridden and ill for at least a month - never been since

Stopped off here for dinner the other night. What can I say. Amazing choice of food which is all piping hot and delicious. Very friendly staff, and wonderful prices. what more can you ask for.

I paid £20 to park my truck here and and that includes a £16 meal voucher in with the price. Was told that I had to spend the voucher all in one go so I had a haggis breakfast at £7.49 and there wasn’t a lot more I could spend the rest on in the shop except pies or junk food but at £1.20 for a can of soft drink it wasn’t difficult to spend the rest. The breakfast for the price was poor compared to any other truck park I’ve ever stopped at . I’ve passed this cafe many times and this is the first and last time I’ll be stopping to eat there .

Very expensive. Staff unhelpful. Food horrible. Dirty toilets. Strange layout not sure what this place is supposed to be other than a bad pit stop.

Where can i start. My daughter asked for chicken bay & sweetcorn panini. I asked for ham cheese & tomato toastie cup of tea can of juice and pk crisps for grandson. £11.40.

I was struggling to find somewhere for a toilet break and breakfast sandwich, having set off from Fraserburgh at 0745 and passing here at about 0945.....2 hrs down the A90 and limited options. Toilets....ahem. Did the job, just. Food? Breakfast traditional.....my egg, bacon and sausage bun was fresh, but a Lorn slice doesnt really substitute a banger really. If i had been travelling with family or my wife, it wouldn’t have cut it, i’m afraid.

I was at this cafe today. I had an utterly fantastic traditional bramble (blackberry) crumble and custard mid afternoon. I had not been here for about 20 years and it hasn't changed. It's always done really nice traditional puddings and I like being able to arrive mid afternoon without being told (as is often the case with some restaurants) that they have stopped serving hot food. Yes the decor is a time warp but I don't come for the decor.

If you don’t mind rough and ready cafes, then you may be okay. Probably hasn’t changed in fifty years. Actually the food was quite good. I thought it was slightly expensive though. £4 starter, £4 desert and £8 main. I don’t think I will be rushing back. Hope this is helpful.

"Ye may gang faur and fare waur" says the sign as you pass. You would have to go a heck of a long way to find a worse set of services to stop at.

Stopped for a coffee wish i hadnt thought i'd been through a timewarp decor in dire need of a revamp and whats with those dragons and skulls for sale at ridicules prices theres a different theme for each corner food looked bland and the scowell from the worker when i asked to change the tea for a hot chocolate after she poured the tea .toilets filthy and hole in the cubicle door thought i was in a porn set expected norman bates to be watching me through the hole in the toilet door .

We pulled in here for a wee pit stop on our way north but we should have kept going. On arrival I thought it was 1972 everything was so dated. They have a gift shop with some good stock but a lot of the items look as if they have been there for a long time. The service was friendly from the tattooed ladies but the food was not the best.

Stopped in this forenoon, seating area was empty, stood at counter for five minutes, no one keeping an eye on the place so left and went elsewhere, won't be back.

Home cooked plain food but good helpings as you would expect in what a time warp old fashioned transport cafe complete with pot holed muddy parking area and very basic toilets. If you expect shiny over priced motorway service area Starbucks/Burger King type facilities keep going but if you want value for money food and can accept basic facilities stop here. However don't buy fuel unless you have to as fuel prices are the one thing that match motorway service area standards.

Stopped here after driving for 10 hours, used to stop at Stirling Services but that has changed now and you can't get a proper meal. Knew about this place from a long time ago and there is very little else open late in the evening. The food was very good and very large portions at a reasonable price service basic but it is clean and what is expected from the type of place it is. Food so good we returned one day for lunch and for breakfast on the return journey, lunch was good but breakfast although adequate not to the standard we thought it would be.

Was not sure what to expect. Toilets clean but could do with a bit of an update. But my meal made up for any shortcomings. Generous portions well served by very pleasent staff. Piping hot and vegetables cooked to perfection not soggy like some more expensive eateries. So look past the decor and enjoy a well cooked meal. Will be back.

This place has been here for years with little change and none the worse for that.

Very disappointed in this place having been here many years ago.so run down and toilets were gross one toilet without...

Llegamos aquí a las 8 de la noche para la comida. La comida servida no habían sido climatizada y es inaceptable. Salsa fría, carne y verduras servido frío. No hay desiertos y personal. No use este lugar de nuevo.

Servicios Stracathro siempre fue un lugar conflictivo para mi familia - Papá clootie dumpling frito encantaron sus calorías y mi madre de escrutinio pareció una pesadilla cuchara grasienta. Pero eso dumpling en Gary Rhodes y estaba de paso en mi camino desde la Catedral de...

Una vez en la calle se alojan aquí, capturado corto de hacer lo a Aberdeen, así pagamos £15 que venía con un bono de 9 libras de comida - muy razonable. Sin embargo, después de pagar me dijeron que no podía ser un recibo para...

Llame a comer algo. Mi Scotch Tarta estaba bien, pero las patatas fritas eran recalentadas. El pescado y patatas fritas eran horribles. Intento ser positiva pero y es difícil, cuando la comida es comestible. El strapline puede gang lejos y platos waur es improbable. Que no volveré.

We arrived shortly after 9pm at dusk - the place was very forbidding, as if a dead-eyed serial killer lay in wait around every corner. The renowned cafe was closed but looked as if it had been uprooted from the early 1970s and hurled unwillingly into the 21st century.

The food is expensive for what it is - essentially canteen food (albeit tasty) - but I expect to pay a premium at a dual carriageway cafe so I wasn't put off by this, however I am put off by bad customer service. It was very quiet when I arrived for dinner today and there were 2 ladies in the serving area. One looked over at me then opted to pick up a jug to fill the coffee machine with. The other stood about for 30 seconds then walked up to the counter in front of me, looked at me then and proceeded to fill up a plate of food, presumably for her own dinner break - which I wouldn't have objected to - as there was nobody else waiting for food (and it hadn't just been replenished, so nobody was sitting down waiting for what was previously unavailable).Whilst it should have been unnecessary for me to wait, I'd have been more than happy to do so if either of them had cracked a smile and told me they'd be 'right with me' in acknowledgement.As it was, I felt I was a disturbance so I opted to drive a further 20 minutes down the road to a McDonalds where I anticipated the staff would be more attentive. McDonalds was ridiculously busy but I was right, nobody ignored me there.Disappointing because I have eaten here before and it was good for what it was so I'd been looking forward to it, but customer service is incredibly important to me and I found this extremely lacking. Next time ladies, please acknowledge your customers if you're going to leave them standing, it might make a difference :)

Stopped with family as we needed to have a rest. Wish we hadn't. It looks completely run down, paint peeling, decor awful, toilets disgusting, holes in cubicle doors. It's a dump basically. Only stop if you're desperate for the toilet. Then buy some anti-bacterial soap and a steel brush.

Tables not cleaned after people had left, still not cleared away after we'd eaten, staff to busy chatting instead of paying attention to the people leaving. Not a happy welcome to be honest, food expensive and not to at good standard as expected for the price, Very Disappointing

I always stop here when I am passing on my way o or from the Aberdeen ferry. It is what it is, a good old fashioned truckers cafe, it's not fancy or pretentious and in places it can seem in need of a little tlc but the food is great, the prices are great and the staff are great too. It's like a time capsule and I love it. I almost always visit alone and I have never found it to be anything other than welcoming.

Basically a truckers pit stop. Straightforward home cooking, cakes etc. Tons of Xmas tat on sale. The food was generous quantities and reasonably priced. Tasty and filling. Toilets a bit basic.

Just had the worst pork curry I have had ever tasted, served by an inexperienced young girl, who threw it on the plate like prison food and tasted even worse, take it off the menu please????

Had homemade macaroni cheese and chips, best macaroni for miles and decent price for the feed you get.

The staff is really nice ad chatty. I like this place because it's a kind of time capsule. I love the tables and chairs! The atmosphere there is great like in a kind of communist type of restaurant or bar. I love that stuff :)I need to go back there again!P.S. The shop with Stracathro souvenirs was amazing! :D

After a drive back from Edinburgh, I needed a break. Decided to have something to eat and it is a very busy place.

In reality this is a very large trucker's stop but with all the amenities they like, and some of the conveniences you might like... or not. I had cause to use the toilets and found them wanting somewhat in decorum and modernity... in fact, although the place is trucker cool, it could overall do with a good kick into the 21st Century. The food and shop are fine and the people who run the place are Good Angus Worthies. It needs imagination and investment... but if you're merely hungry or exhausted, you can rest and be thankful here.

Brilliant value, very helpful! Managed to lose a key fob while there, very helpful in its return! Quality food reasonable prices and very pleasant staff>

One of my favourite places to stop when heading North.No, it's not the Ritz, and yes maybe it could do with a bit of modernisation, but who cares when the food is this good, and the portions so generous.Great home made food, This place beats the bejaysus out of any of the "chain" service stops up and down the country. It has character, is well priced, and has great food.

My wife and I occasionally stop here for lunch and have to say that if you want great homemade food and a good portion, then is is for you. In addition the staff have to be complemented on their friendliness and service. Yes it is a bit dated on the decor, but if you want decor and high prices then go somewhere else!!. Highly recommended.

Don't expect anything fancy but you certainly get down to earth, excellent value, good quality, plenty quantity, real Scottish food. Take it through to the back room and see the local crafts and plants for sale, or visit the gift shop. It calls itself a "transport cafe" and it is, but it's one of the best.

Been travelling this road for years, and have only just discovered this place, we have stopped at the petrol station before but only just found the truck stop. I wish we had found it years ago the food is amazing!!!!!! It is just like going to your Mums for dinner, proper home-made food with huge portions.We just share one meal as I always need to have a portion of the crumble, now plan the travel to get to here for lunch. Fantastic, traditional, home-made food.

Absolutely disgusting!!!!in dire need of a clean and a coat of paint, first and last time i stop here, a bit overpriced on the food menu considering the state of the place

Went for a 'blast from the past' breakfast here with my other half. Last time I was here would have been in the '80's but often have driven by it on the way from Aberdeen to Dundee. Well it hasn't changed much. There are two bits to the cafe - a real truck stop bit with Formica tables with chairs attached and then a slightly more fancy bit (although fancy isn't the word) with proper tables and chairs - this is the bit that looks out onto the dual carriageway. The breakfast was average at best. Bacon, sausage, egg and beans served with toast. No choice of what goes on the breakfast and no sign of mushrooms, black pudding, hashbrown, etc... It's a queue up and collect your food type place like at an old school canteen. Only thing good was that the eggs were freshly fried as opposed to sitting under a hot lamp. Food tasted okay but there are much better places to go within 10 miles both North and South. The place really is in a time trap. It was good to satisfy my curiosity but sadly I won't be going back.

distgusting! filthy toilets car park is full of porholes and water . I stopped for a coffee and the loo. didn’t finish the coffee and loos we so bad didn’t use them. God help you if youre a tourist anf this is your first stop heading north. Either drive on and stop and Edzell or Brechin which a re both lovely. or stop a few miles back down the A90 at Peggy Scott Cafe.

Stopped for food on way North other day. First time in years. We've travelled quite a bit in last 20 years and seen some average restaurants but this place is disgusting. Not a good example of what Scotland has to offer travelling tourists. Place should be bulldozed. Better to go to petrol station next door for coffee and snacks.

This is a service area on the A9 with a car park full of lorries and trucks so don't expect too much!I met a friend early evening as it is a half way point for both of us. What a lovely surprise the food is! I had a large and very delicious serving of Steak and Mushroom stew(?) with veg and tatties at only £6.99. We both had our eye on a tasty looking apple and raisin pie, which is served with cream, ice cream or custard. I think it was less than £4??The place and the toilets are basic and the car park is potholed and bumpy but all this was forgiven as the food is home cooked, tasty, filling and good value. Lovely smiley staff added to an enjoyable eating experience. Not a place for a romantic meal at all but great food at great prices. So much better than stopping at a fast food outlet !!Easy access from north or south on the A90 just south of Laurencekirk.

Have to admit that we stumbled upon this place by chance but were we pleased we did. OK it is rather tacky around the edges, well probably a lot really but if you look closely it is clean and looked after.Our breakfasts were of good quality, quantity and delicious too! The prices are very reasonable and the staff are all good humoured and make you feel welcome..If you want the Ritz, don't stop here but if you want good wholesome food for reasonable cost then this is the place.

Have not been inside for many years, 30 + easy though I pass it on my way to Stracathro Hospital. We were joining a coach trip here, fantastic place I thought as there would be food and toilets plus the space to have a walk about and stretch the legs. What a shock, long, long queue for hot food and drinks which was where all the staff were meaning no service for newspapers, cans of juice etc.Yes you had to join the same queue to purchase the juice and chocolate bar. Remember time is limited because coaches run to a schedule so many never reached the end of that queue. Ah the toilets, now I have seen cleaner, better equipped facilities in the wilds of Morocco and Albania. Come on Stracathro Services join the 21st Century, you are missing such a huge opportunity it's not all about lorry drivers these days, the coach business is massive and you are sitting in the perfect position to capture that trade.

Whenever my family come up from Edinburgh to visit my dad always insists we go for dinner at Stracathro Truck Stop. He is a through and through meat and two veg man. The meals we have had here are always 2nd to none, and you will certainly NEVER leave hungry. The staff are lovely and the shop always has something interesting to look at. This is an honest, quality, value for money restaurant, there ain't many of them about. If you are hungry and in the area you won't find better.

I stopped here with my husband in June 2015 and I can honestly say it is the most disgusting place on gods earth. The food was thrown on the plate and tasteless everything was over cooked. The toilets were the filthiest and stingiest I have ever seen. The best thing for this place would be for it to be knocked to the ground. How this place remains open is beyond me. The environmental health have obviously never been so perhaps it's time they made a visit!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE

I stop here whenever I make my way up north to see family. The food is brilliant. Fresh ingredients and home made. The portion size is definitely for the truckers, more food than you can possibly imagine. You can get a main meal, a pudding and a drink for under a tenner, so also very good value for money. Yes the toilets are something to behold but you can forgive them as the food is just so darn tasty.

I took rare trip up to Aberdeen last week and made a stop at Stracathro Services for a break . I entered from the truck parking end and first encountered the Gents toilet - a breathtaking experience to say the least . From there I went for a bite to eat . A comprehensive menu of what turned out to be excellent food was on offer . A main meal and a mug of tea was bought for a little over seven quid . There isn't really anywhere else available on the Dundee to Aberdeen stretch of the A90 for trucks to stop at so it is a bit of ' Hobson's Choice ' . These services offer an authentic 1970's experience - like stepping back in time. The staff are very pleasant and , as mentioned , food excellent . A few of the southerly service stations could learn some better customer services from here and this place could learn a little about 21st century from them ......

This is one of the best breakfasts I have EVER had - square sausage is best I have ever had. All well cooked, no grease, freshest ingredients and all for under a fiver !! interesting. Good old fashioned food with lots of seats/tables To get all of this from a motorway services is truly amazing. Also there is a lovely shop selling loads of unique household and garden items. Good banter with folk who serve the food also !
