Welcome Break Gretna Green A74 in Dumfries & Galloway

Burger King is poor, Service was ok but the food very poor and expensive. Bread rolls on the burgers fall to pieces im assuming they are about three weeks old, frozen and thawed as required. Chicken nuggets dry as a welders gloves, disappointing to say the least, drive on to the next one best advice i can give.

Busy services. Toilets ok. Visited the canny scot shop which was great. KFC was ok, one great piece of chicken, one very greasy piece of chicken but quick service.

Stopped after a long drive hoping to enjoy a full breakfast but the breakfast restaurant closes at 12 and only had jacket potatoes left. Opted for KFC, tremendously busy and only two girls serving. Waited 25 mins. KFC gave us the wrong food but we didn’t have time to re-order and wait again. Got a table which was clean and the man looking after that area was very friendly and polite. Toilets were clean. Won’t be calling there on return journey. Too busy and understaffed.

We stayed over night at the local hotel and included a breakfast before we travelled on this was The Good Breakfast. When we got there the tables were dirty, flies everywhere and bins overflowing. The staff were very rude and everything to do with our breakfast order seemed to be too much trouble, for example not having beans on some of the plates we weren’t asking for anything different just not including certain food on certain plates.. who knew it was a take it or leave it kinda restaurant!! When they screamed our food was ready for collecting at the counter we asked for cutlery and we were told they didn’t have time to wash any so use the wooden ones… would a dishwasher not be a good investment?. meanwhile a man in a dress shirt and trousers walked about the area lifted the odd tray and then began scraping chewing gum of the floor from the main foyer. Perhaps cleaning the filthy food hall would have been more helpful. Avoid!!

We ordered 2 traditional breakfasts at “The Good Breakfast” I asked if one of the breakfasts could be without tomatoes and mushrooms, with an extra egg instead. The lady on the till muttered under her breath about it being complicated (not fair) and that she’d need to write it down (good idea). At that point the other lady came to the lady at the till and said very loudly “when we’re busy with a queue like this we don’t alter breakfast orders, unless it’s without beans”. I felt very embarrassed about this in terms of how this was communicated to the lady on the till - she could and should have not shouted out that direction. If she’d spoken to us and explained what they could or could not do, that would have been ok. Luckily this isn’t our first trip to Scotland, so we know how wonderful Scots are. If this was someone’s first trip they could be forgiven for thinking that this first impression would be the same for all Scots. We won’t be eating there again. Very disappointed.

Me and my dad stopped for a coffee at Starbucks, greeted by Hollie and Katy! Fab girls and a credit to the Starbucks company…. Helps that they make great coffees too

Incredible improvement since my last visit. At no point have I seen anyone sweeping the floor then using the same brush to sweep the litter off a table where people were eating. Well done on the improvement. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Because our favourite pitstop had ceased trading ( Lockerbie Truck Stop ) we succumbed to stopping here, and tried “ the good breakfast” er anything but! Egg not fully cooked, cold beans, swimming in grease!
