I think the one south of Bristol, i.e. the next one after Gordano looks like an ok spot for kids…reasonably open and out in the countryside so air’s a bit fresher than Gordano.
Sedgemoor it’s called.
Oh hang on…just doing a bit of research and found these comments actually posted on a website:
Steve: Arrived here at 9pm on a Wednesday evening, to find both the restaurant and the Wimpy were closed. Had to travel on to Bridgewater services to get a meal. I won’t bother stopping here again.
It looks as if one of the derelict buildings on this site was once a Little Chef.
Mikael: The road off the M5 leading into the services is awkward and you get to the entrance before you know it, even if you’ve slowed down. Definitely take it easy on the way in, and out. On the way out of the car park, watch out as you proceed along the exit road back onto the M5, HGVs dart straight out of the petrol station without even bothering to look to their right to see if anything’s coming. The cafeteria is like the ones on most British motorway services, mediocre fare at best and vastly overpriced for what you actually get. If you’re coming down from the north of Bristol, get off the M5 and stop at Cribbs Causeway, go to Marks and Sparks and buy some sandwiches, snacks and drinks there instead. They’ll be far cheaper and nicer than the slops they serve up in Sedgemoor’s ‘cafeteria’.
Jesus H, who posts these things?
Even worse, who reads them?
Me, that’s who!
