Research by Select Car Leasing has identified six service stations across the UK that meet the top three food-related demands of British motorists. The study found that a McDonald's, Greggs, and M&S Food are the most sought-after outlets, with 33%, 29%, and 26% of travellers respectively considering them essential.
The six stations that boast all three are located along the spine of England, making them ideal for road trips. In addition to food, these stations offer showers, electric vehicle charging points, and children's play areas.
Other popular food outlets include Costa (25%), KFC (18%), and Burger King (16%). For non-food amenities, a car wash tops the list at 14%, followed by outdoor seating and dog-walking areas (13%).
Graham Conway, Managing Director at Select Car Leasing, said the findings could settle arguments over service station choices. He noted that selecting the right stop can set the tone for a journey and that these six stations should satisfy all passengers.
