Iāve been to this drive through a few times but always sat inside, itās a cold place with zero atmosphere but thatās not a problem, Saturday I was stuck in a horrendous traffic jam at junction 11 just before these services, after 1.5 hours on the motorway engine switched off I was on my way, I stopped at this Starbucks services.

It was so disgusting in there that we didnāt stay to buy anything. Used toilet tissue and rubbish on the floors, dirty toilets and the walls/ door looked like it hadnāt been wiped down for years (despite the fact they were a dark colour).
