This isn’t your average service station convenience stop. It’s a full-blown grocery store with that recognizable upmarket glow—the one that whispers “you deserve organic olives.” I’m pretty sure I heard a faint harp playing as I walked in, though that might have been the M54 ringing in my ears.
The produce section actually looked edible, unlike the sad, bruised apples you usually find. And the refrigerated aisle? Pure luxury: fresh sandwiches that don’t taste of plastic wrap, and those tiny pots of posh pudding. (Side note: I bought three because I’m an adult with self-control—okay, fine, I bought four.)
The “I’m Too Fancy for a Sausage Roll” Moment
I’d like to say I grabbed a simple banana and water, but no. I went full Waitrose shopper: artisanal crisps, a gourmet pork pie, and a bottle of something sparkling that cost more than my lunch last Tuesday. The staff didn’t even judge me for my crooked grin.
What really got me was the toiletries section. Need a last-minute face mask or a fancy candle for your caravan? They’ve got you covered. Suddenly, a pit stop becomes a mini-spa trip—ironic, given you’re parked next to a lorry that smells of diesel.
