Welcome Break Keele - Southbound - Newcastle

I'm reviewing the dog walking "area" (just a patch of grass right by the motorway) because I only stopped to let the dog out. The walk up to the little patch of grass had broken glass on it and pipe holes in the floor plus the dog poo bin was overflowing. My dog is little so I could carry her over the broken glass but she feel into a hole on the walk back to the car.
It's not good enough, we should have to be worried for our dogs safety when taking them for a wee.

This place is a real lifesaver! Whether you need to grab a bite or just use the restroom during a long drive, it offers a perfect pit stop. If you’re feeling tired from sitting or driving, it’s a safest spot to take a break and recharge with a coffee. For travelers a convenient and refreshing stop!

Review of an Exceptional Service Station

During a recent trip, I stopped at a service station that truly impressed me. It offered everything a traveler could need, combining comfort, cleanliness, and outstanding service.

The cleanliness of the facilities was remarkable. The restrooms were spotless, with a steady supply of essentials and clear signs of regular maintenance. Hand sanitizers were placed conveniently, ensuring hygiene standards were met. The rest of the station was equally well-kept, creating a pleasant environment.

The food options stood out for their variety and quality. From freshly prepared meals to grab-and-go snacks, there was something for every palate. I appreciated the availability of local dishes and a well-stocked café offering hot drinks and baked goods. The seating area was clean and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal.

What made the experience even better was the courteous staff. They greeted everyone with smiles and were eager to help, whether it was giving directions, taking orders, or maintaining the facilities. Their professionalism made a lasting impression.

The service station also featured a lovely connection to nature, with a landscaped outdoor area. It was refreshing to take a moment to relax amidst greenery, which added to the overall charm.

Other amenities included ample parking, a convenience store with essentials, and charging points for devices, all thoughtfully arranged to maximize convenience. The layout was intuitive, with clear signage making navigation easy.

Overall, this service station was more than just a rest stop—it was a well-designed haven for travelers. With excellent facilities, polite staff, and a welcoming ambiance, it transformed a routine stop into a memorable experience. I highly recommend this station for anyone seeking a clean, comfortable, and relaxing break during their journey.

Very clean well kept site, great choice of food and drinks, toilets and showers spotless. The young lady at Costa who served me was an absolute delight. Happy chatty personality cheered me up and made my day. Sorry I didn't get her name, Thank you flower. South bound site.

Was on my way to beyond Birmingham and needed a toilet break + a bite to eat. Plenty of car parking space with large bays. Looked to be recently refurbished toilet facilities which were clean and well maintained. Used KFC for food. Took a bit of time for the order to be completed but the food was red hot and to be fair as I was really hungry the meal was very well received. Was approximately half an hour at the service station.

A decent enough service's with all the usual amenities. Fairly clean and plenty parking.
Need a bank loan to buy any snacks and cost of fuel is expensive.
I recommend that you stop stretch your legs use the toilet and drive off.
It ain't a tourist spot.

Just another nice service station with plenty of parking and all the usual facilities we have come to appreciate during a long drive. I stopped off for a tea and croissant and wasn't disappointed by it from Starbucks ( although they didn't have decaf tea!). Nice clean toilet facilities.

Disabled bays taken over by electric chargers and no near-by provision made. The place was very busy. Loads of parking bays near the entrance but all full with abled-bodied cars. I had to park in a non-disabled bay which made getting into a wheelchair difficult and dangerous and it was a long way to the building. Totally unsatisfactory.
