Not the most expensive, as tea at the Ritz is still quite pricey! But definately the least value for money of any tea!

Why should the staff have to justify the charge? They serve the stuff, they don't make up the prices!

They're probably sick of people complaining and would be more than happy if the price was reduced.

Yeah BUT how else are Moto gonna get the message? No compliants or feedback slips anywhere

Needs a little forward planning, but this site is great for finding other facilities close to motorways

Well yesterday I paid £1.89 for a very small Latte and £3.99 for a very small bacon butty, had the smallest couple of bacon rashers you have ever seen. That was at the Hilton services on M6 North.

Why do we pay these prices? Stupid really. But I was starving!!

You can pick up a map of all Tesco stores at there service atations, I think they charge 59p for a pot which gives you 2 cups of PG. If I need a drink or a loo I head for a supermarket because the services prices are beyond rip off. You even pay about 30p more for an M&S sandwch than you would in a store.

I keep meaning to give this a try. I'd better get it done this year before the price goes up!

Will reply letting you know if it represents good value.

I paid £2.50 for a cuppa in a hotel in Chester last week. Came with "selection of biscuits". After much deliberation (should we order the toasted teacake at £2.75?), we all ordered cuppa and "selection of biscuits" - all 5 of us. We got 5 biscuits between us. Two ladies on next table ordered the same, and received a plate of 5 biscuits each!!! :mad:
