You’ve got your classics: Greggs, Burger King, KFC, and a M&S Simply Food that feels like a luxury boutique compared to the rest. The queue at Greggs is always long, because everyone suddenly remembers they need a sausage roll at 11am on a Tuesday. The Burger King serves up burgers that taste like they were assembled with a sense of mild regret, but you eat them anyway because you’re on holiday and normal rules don’t apply.
If you’re feeling fancy, the M&S has a meal deal that costs more than your actual lunch at home, but it comes in a cardboard box that makes you feel posh. I once bought a pre-packed sandwich there and ate it in the car while watching a seagull fight a pigeon for a chip. It was art.
The Lorry Park: A Social Hub
Don’t forget the lorry park in the back. It’s a whole different world back there—full of truckers who’ve seen more of the M6 than most of us have seen of our own kitchens. They’ll be washing their windscreens, drinking tea from flasks, and looking at you like you’re a tourist in their village. It’s oddly comforting, like a mobile community that never really stops moving.
