Hiya,
I've had a look at 5 minutes away & the main supermarket sites, but thought I'd tap into local expertise if I can. We're looking for somewhere to break our journey to Cornwall. Can anyone recommend somewhere we can stop for breakfast & petrol near the M5 between Bristol & Bridgewater?
Ta much in advance

Could we not boycott motorway service stations?
We should all ignore them.
Carry a can of spare petrol AFTER filling up BEFORE leaving home
Carry some snacks, make a sandwich etc
BINGO !
Consumer revenge.....they will have no option but to match Tesco prices.

I haven't read all the threads, so I apologise if this has been mentioned, but the Good Pub Guide is excellent for this!
It has a section informing you of great pubs that do food which are only a couple of miles from Motorway junctions.
Believe me there are some great ones, and the food is often way cheaper and vastly better than the cack you get a service stations.:beer:0
