1. Norton Canes Services
If you are like me, driving sure makes me hungry. Especially if I have to drive for several hours. I know that I need to keep my body and mind fueled to drive safely on the road. This is why Norton Canes Services is one of my favorite service stations in all of the UK. Not only is it a nice little place to take a break from driving, but it is also a great place to get some delicious food! It really doesn’t matter what you are craving, they have an extremely wide selection of food to choose from. In addition, they have the cutest little picnic spots so that you can really take the time to enjoy your meal before hitting the road again. It is located at M6 toll J6-J7. Shops include WHSmith, SPAR and Fone Bitz, so you can even do some shopping while you are on a break!
2. Heston Westbound
Are you thinking of driving in and out of London? If so, then Heston Westbound is the service station you are going to want to become familiar with. It is located right by Heathrow Airport, so expect this place to be busy, but well worth the stop. This is another great service station if you are looking to grab a bite to eat. Now, it doesn’t have as many options as some other place, but it is such a convenient place to stop. The only issue is, it is very busy. But that just means it is a good place to stop. If you don’t mind crowds, make sure to make Heston Westbound on your spots to stop. It is located at M4 J2-J3. Eating spots at Heston Westbound includes Krispy Kreme, Burger King and Greggs.

Plus, they have some delicious coffee to give you that extra boost to get you back on your drive. Stafford Northbound is located M6 J14-J15 and shops in the area include WHSmith and M&S Simply Food.
