Welcome to the Motorway Services website

Like them or loathe them, most of us end up using motorway service areas at one time or another. This site aims to catalogue and review all UK service areas, allowing you to be better informed as to which you use in future!

The content of this site is primarily contributed by you, the readers, so if you have any comments on any service areas that you've used recently, then please feel free to let us know.

What's the most important thing that needs improving at motorway services?
Surveys, both on this site and elsewhere, tend to show a low opinion of most MSAs among the travelling public. Which aspect do you think the MSA operators most urgently need to improve? Comment on this poll

We really want to hear what your experiences have been at motorway service areas in the UK - good, bad or indifferent? Over time, we hope to build up a comprehensive survey, so that we can see which are the best and which are the worst. Comments are logged by date and time of visit, as well as by location, so we can get an idea of the good and bad times to visit, too...

Do you generally get a better experience visiting at breakfast time, or are service stations more pleasant in the evening?
Is there a pattern throughout the year - maybe they struggle during holiday periods?
Are weekends or weekdays better times to visit?
What about the operators - do some stand out as being better than others?
Does the location make a difference? North, south, east, west - can we tell which ones are best?

If you've visited a motorway service station recently, then tell us about it! And please tell all your friends about this site as well!
