Sadly, very dissapointed
Great documentary on TV recently. It,s just a shame it did not reflect the truth about the place. Whilst the shops are okay, tad expensive for whats on offer but the cafe could only be described as a very very bad transport cafe where people would only visit if they were desperate. Excited to go there following documentary, even more excited to get back on the M6. Disgusting food and tea bags that were scared of hot water. NEVER EVER AGAIN.
DISGUSTED
DISGUSTED
I popped in there with a friend for breakfast today and was charged over £25 for two breakfasts, There was NO sausages cooked and there was a very long line of people the staff said that the sausages would be about six minutes to cook so in my opinion bad service, As we were on our way to collect a truck we were in a hurry so we were offered a change to the menu LOL what a disgusting meal, the extra bacon instead of the sausage meant we had two slices of well over cooked bacon which could have resoled a pair of shoes with and the rest of the so called breakfast was served cold. Needless to say we will never use that services again and as a businessman within the Film and television industry I will ensure they get bad advertising.
Food is disgusting
Worth it just for the drive
I love this service station, set in the breathtaking Westmorland Countryside. The food is delicious, eat in or take away, even better now it's north and south bound. All the staff are so friendly and genuinely pleased to see you. It's all traditional home fayre none of your mass produced stuff or your bog standard staff canteen set up. It's almost like being at home.
Buyer beware
After watching the programme about Tebay we were excited to try some of the local farm produce.
We bought fillet steak, sirloin and lamb shoulder. What a let down!
We were hoping the standard would well above supermarket levels but not the case and the prices were extreme.
Very very disappointed!
Stop off elsewhere
Used to enjoy stopping off here but last couple of stops have been a huge let down. Over priced food, weak coffee and severely unprofessional and unmotivated staff.
Staff member at fish / hot point (northern side) basically threw newly prepared food into hot counter area. Chips were cold/hard.
One of the coffee machines was faulty and three members of staff laughed and joked at it while attempting to ‘fix’ it while a long queue developed to pay for food.
Wont be back
No brands
After a long drive I was looking forward to a can of coke and a mars only to discover there was none stocked.
Glad the garage across the way had some
Third time there, style over substance.
Third time in a row I’ve been very disappointed. Nothing like they portray on the tv series. Sunday, no roast dinner! The chef had to ask if they were doing one! This was at 12.30 on the Sunday. We bought the most tasteless pork pie and sausage roll from the deli. I have seriously enjoyed ones from walls I bought at a garage more than the ones from Tebay. Seriously overpriced and a case of style over substance. The young staff are pleasant and it’s not their fault the management obviously keep congratulating themselves how well they are doing. Take my advice, pass it by and stop at the next services.
Great shopping, although predictively pricey.
We called in to Tebay Services on a trip back from the Highlands.
Beautiful setting, one of the best views I've seen from a motorway services! There is a wonderful array of produce for sale here. Nothing is cheap, some things are eye waveringly expensive. But you will get things from here that you may struggle to find elsewhere. The pies are amazing. We filled a shopping bag with gifts and left over £100 lighter. But worth it for the unusual stuff such as the pickled sprouts, lovingly termed on the label as 'guff grenades'.
Well north a visit.
Stopped at tebay services
Stopped at tebay services, north bound, for a cuppa on 28 April 2022.
Had 3 normal pots of tea and 1 pot of earl grey.
The teas were without any flavour, just hot (barely) tainted water, even the early grey.
Didnt bother to complain because in the past when I was faced with a similar pot of 'tea' I asked for another tea bag for the pot and they had the cheek to ask me to pay for another pot of tea!!!!
Come on tebay, get your act together, dreadful quality at a premium price!!!
Wont be stopping there again.
Absolutely dreadful.
