Telford Services M54

Earlier this year, I set a precedent for this blog by reviewing a motorway service area. Today I am reviewing another.

We arrived at Telford services at the perfect time for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. There were at first far too few staff performing far too many roles between them. This puts unnecessary pressure on them and is a sign of poor management.

However, my steak pie had an excellent crust and a tasty and plentiful filling. My partner was equally satisfied by his half chicken. Both meals were served with chips, peas and gravy. The chips were generously cut and very fresh and we were consulted as to the placement of our gravy.

As the icing on the cake prices have recently been reduced making these two meals actually pretty good value.

I award 8.5 out of 10 for good food spoiled only slightly by harried service.
