Welcome Break South Mimms in Hertsmere

It's like the bit of meat you get stuck in between your teeth, you can't quite get it, but it doesn't bother you enough to do anything about it.

Too many starbucks. Mainly for restroom and fastfood. Diesel in the petrol nearby very expensive. Overall not bad.

Plenty of choices bit steep but good

Would like to see more shops and a variety of food at reasonable prices.

Came in for a cup of tea but couldn’t find anywhere. WHSmith machine was not working. Everything else was closed. Absolutely pathetic - one of the largest service stations in the country and you can’t get a cup of bloody tea!

Usual motorway services Seem a bit cleaner than usual but petrol 165 a litre!!

Tad on expensive side but nice and cleqn

The car park conditions where not great seemed to avoid hitting pot holes, got in to the services and it was freezing on which they had the air conditioning on in minus degrees conditions outside. It seemed warmer outside than it did in the actual services

Fine for parking, a bit hard to see any high level signage to the toilets but we'll posted at floor level as I got further in - they are to the left! Typically a rip off for food, an egg & bacon sandwich, 2 slices of bread at WHS was £4.45, but you can get a meal deal at even a Tesco Express for £3.40 & that includes a drink + 1 more small bit.

Good selection of food. Carpark is a state. Toilets barely fit for use

You can find everything you want

Not my favourite stop but if you need to go you go. It really needs some TLC and to decide what it wants to be, a quick stopping point or something more.

A well welcome stop on M25. Everything you need

Big place stop off fir coach on holiday weekend....different eating venues...

Large amount of parking, and has a variety of food outlets including Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, Subway and Starbucks.

OK for basic needs. Bit expensive.

Handy place to take a,rest and get some food

As a general rule motorway services are largely awful overpriced places that you should always try and avoid. We have a great book called ‘the extra mile’ that recommend alternatives to motorway services such as farm shops. Highly recommend. However on this occasion I was getting hangry in traffic so escaped a gridlocked M25 for an overpriced and luke warm Burger King. It does have a mini Waitrose which is ok…. and plentiful toilets with decent hand dryers… I just always leave service stations feeling utterly robbed. Oh and the various entry lanes always confuse me in this place. Tend to end up at the lorry entrance.

Everything you need for a break.

Well maintained toilet facilities but food & drink on expensive side

Usual eateries Showers cold unfortunately but good and spacious

Not my favourite but as we were having to go all the way round the M25 to get back to Kent as the Bridge was shut it was indeed a Welcome Break.

Situated on M25/A1 junction, very busy with many people stopping for their needs. The rapid chargers are conveniently located, and pretty easy to use, but was slightly confusing when finished and disconnecting cable. Overall was good....

You're average service station but with plenty of EV charging and tesla

What can you say about the place it's a service station in South Mimms 👍

Popped in for a short stop for a coffee. There seemed to be at least 25 members of staff behind the counter at Starbucks, yet they still managed to get my order wrong. Unbelievable. Will not be using this Starbucks again.

As services go, this was above average. IMHO

Absolutely great service station 👍👍

Bad road surfaces, poor car entry layout, and silly prices

Ended up here based on my cars sat nav recommending it as a good EV charging point. Being as it’s a service station on the M25, I’d have assumed it would be serviceable. Sadly it isn’t and other reviews echo this. The EV charging is one of the worst I’ve come across. There’s 3 providers, Applegreen, Gridserve and Tesla. Applegreen and Tesla have maybe 15-20 chargers each, Gridserve has 2 that can do 2 vehicles each. Problem is none of them except Tesla seemed to be operational, and I don’t drive a Tesla. The Gridserve chargers had a bag over one, the other declined every single EV RFID card or bank card in my possession citing network connectivity issues. As for Applegreen, what a joke. Half of their chargers weren’t working at all, and the others that were lit up took my card, pre-auth £40 and then refused to charge. I tried three and all ended up doing the same thing. I called their support line and was abruptly told that MG don’t work with the chargers and I’ll need to go elsewhere. This is a first, and just seems like an excuse to get me off the phone as a BMW driver who was there also couldn’t get them to work. As for the services inside the main building, pretty much as you’d expect: Expensive and all franchised fast food outlets. Weirdly it also has 2 Starbucks inside barely 5 meters from each other, and a 3rd in the car park which seemed a little overbearing. Overall for such a large and major service station they need to fix their pathetic EV chargers on site, and maybe fix all the craters in the car park to get to them while you’re at it. EV drivers except maybe Tesla should probably go elsewhere.

Truck parking has more potholes than the grand canyon. Slinks of piss . Hardly any bins in the lorry parking . And services is a nice walk away especially if it's raining.

So handy often pop in very clean

Lots of different food outlets to choose from. Toilets.

Only WHSmith was open, mind you, it was 3am

Can't really comment as only ever used as a quick stopping place in our motorhome.

The Czech flag on the poster by the coach entrance is upside down. 1* Otherwise the services are like any other services. + with taco bell

A great service station with plenty of car parking and food options as well as spacious toilets. There are Tesla superchargers in the car park. Staff are all foreign with limited English communication skills.

A good place for a break from driving

Main food not open until 12 noon

Great food choice's, shower access, keep a eye on your parking time as got a fine.

Great place for taking a travel break.

We only ever stop at motorway services because we need the toilet on long trips. They are generally awful places & this one is no exception. Walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke to get through the entrance, to be greeted with like-minded people that have stopped for the toilet and are equally thrilled with the massively over inflated prices. There are people wandering around in leisure wear & slippers looking baffled at the cost of a sandwich, some looking even more miserable as they've just flown back from somewhere sunny. As we drew closer to the toilets, the waft of sewage was evident in the air. We hurried through after being robbed of £12 for a Waitrose meal deal for 2 😬. There were loads of spaces to charge electric vehicles, and there's also a Tesla fast charging area, which again was almost empty. Would we return, not through choice but necessity. I hope your experience of this service stop is far better than ours! 🫤 Update. Thank you for your response, but you haven't addressed most of the issues I've mentioned. Of course, some people want to have a cigarette when they stop for a break, but set up clearly marked, designated smoking shelters, away from the entrances. As for your excuse for overinflated prices, quite honestly is laughable & utter rubbish. Every supermarket across the country will have exactly the same challenges with supply chains, but their prices are far lower than any motorway services. The smell from the toilets could be improved by employing more cleaners, I'm sure there's a budget for that with the current prices you're charging. Maybe take a slight cut in profits and improve your service. If you want to respond to constructive criticism, please do so with valid reasons & genuine solutions. Enjoy your day!

Excellent services and the 36 Tesla Superchargers now solve the problem of queuing.

Nice clean venue with great customer service.

Plenty of EV charging points. Needed a top up so had a coffee whilst waiting.

Great service station with everything you could want. Great choice of foods and shops and the toilets were spotless

Lots of parking, good selection of shops, big and clean toilets.

It's a service station so not ever going to get 5 stars but to be fair there's a fair range of eating places a supermarket, newsagents and the usual coffee places and it's clean.

Good choice of fast food Starbucks so good coffee.

Got there 22:30 on a Wednesday, only Burger King open and they had run out of burgers and only had a limited selection of chicken burgers left.

Very nice service station with a number of different fast food options, a pret and a WHSmith. The toilets are pretty clean and tidy. Large indoor seating area to eat food which is shared by all the restaurants so everyone can order from wherever they like. The car park is large and so easy to find a space.

Far better than average. Recommended

Filthy showers, no coffee in the morning until 6 am better facilities in downtown Africa

Lots of travellers needing a break and stretching their legs. Variety of food types to choose from. A good atmosphere

Excellent range of fast food chains so everyone can have their choice

Stopped here on my way back from a visit to South Wales.. Needed caffeine and food and that's what I got.. With blue light discount and great service I'll definitely stop by again.

Pit stop for a coffee/ sandwich ,very clean

Good service stop good choice of food outlets

Great place to stop with various places to eat from

Very nice place to take a break electric charging burger king other shops highly recommended

The BP garage mens toilet was horrendous, filthy wall, toilet wouldn't flush and the lock was broken, not much left of it on door. But unfortunately when you got to go it has to be done. MS fine staff fine, didn't enter main building couldn't say if any good this time round.

Good motorway services. Stopped here often. Nice and convenient

Clean, variety of food selections

The usual services, does the job for a break in your journey

Great service station just outside of London / M25. Plenty of fast food options or you can have a sit-down meal at Pizza Express (really cute small branch with lovely staff and fast service), Starbucks. The piano adds a nice atmosphere. There was a family with a dog sitting next to me at Starbucks so it may be a dog friendly place which is always a positive. Lots of parking spaces and a great option for electric car owners. Plenty of charging points. I used Applegreen - super fast at a great price. Can't fault this place.

Excellent services. Great facilities

Nice service station and convenient on M25

Plenty of chairs and tables ,clean toilets and plenty of eating choices

It's definitely one of the better service areas

Lovely and clean, loads to choose from. Very airy.

Spacious, reasonably clean, plenty of seating and food choices, relaxing environment.

Clean but KFC was not great, ordered meals and hardly any chips with them

Nice place to stop and have a break, fuel or a hot drink. Well laid out, clean, tidy and a welcome break to any long journey.

Really enjoyed it...definitely be back...got a black eye whilst I was there

The truck parking area is quite far from the main site. And in this parking lot there are such holes in the surface that you can fall out of the cabin.

Plenty of parking spots available . Bp coffee good as always

We arrived at South Mimms to aboard our Alfa coach for our holiday vacation. The food prices are expensive compared to local shops

This used to be a bit of a dive but very good for a UK services now....

Good there, had lovely Burger king meal there!

It's a motorway services, so not much to be excited about. They have done a fine job of hiding the toilets and apparently decided to increase the challenge rating by eschewing any signage. Otherwise all rather predictable, though necessary.

Very busy but lots of parking available. Vast place with plenty of food outlets. Good clean toilets, no queueing.

All I needed for a break from driving

vile child played or just hit piano keys drove us out

It was ok ,not much to say really

Quite a distance from the motorway

Good hand dryers in the bloke's toilets, bog roll was utter shxt, that's why I always bring my own.

One of the better service stations I've been to. Clean toilets and plenty of parking. It's always a bonus when there's no McDonald's

Has everything you would expect at a service station,toilets clean

Like most service stations, just big and noisy and full of cars and travellers , hunting for coffee, sugar and the loos

Fairly clean services although strong smell in the gents toilets.

Its oke for a quick stop for some food and toilet visit. Ofcourse also for gas if necessary

Very basic for a cuppa, toilets ok

All good fourts closed at midnight

Excellent place lots to choose from

I stop here every time I'm heading to Ipswich because of work as it's around the half way mark. It's definitely one of the better service stations, looks clean and tidy. The toilets are clean and the food on offer is what's needed for a pause on a long journey if a little expensive but that comes as standard for service stations.

Helpful staff. Well kept toilets

The best EV charge experience. Plenty of easy to use Apple green chargers and Tesla chargers.

Clean services, plenty of choice of food. KFC, BK, Taco Bell, Subway, Pret, Starbucks and a specialist breakfast place along with a waitroise and WH Smith. Lots of tables with outside seating available also. BP at the exit

Is very good. The pot holes in the car park is not on though
