Hopwood Park in Bromsgrove

Stop here regularly. Not a bad site and does what it should. The Only down side is probably too many electric chargers take up a lot if space...bit thatscwhere were going.

Convenient stop off with decent facilities

Considering the cost you'd think the food would be cooked to order. My burger & onion rings tasted anything but... accessible toilets were only ok. Overall disappointing 😞

May recommend Big carparks, clean place

The services had a light, airy, modern feel. There was Waitrose so a chance to get reasonable food. Starbucks coffee is terrible so I didn't bother with a coffee. The was one CHAdeMO charger available without waiting but the charge rate was slow.

Really nice stop / layout inside

Service station spot on KFC I would avoid at all costs they don’t honour the deals on the self order machines charged me for the upgrades but refused to give them to me as they said it wasn’t an offer they do yet these were on the self order machines

Only used the toilets nice and clean though

Worst ever experience at a motorway service station🤬🤬🤬COMPLETE and UTTER CHAOS Don’t use this place unless you have hours to waste 🤬🤬🤬pulled in for a quick loo stop & an hour later still on the car park being harassed by Tesla drivers trying to access charging points. This place really needs to get organised & warn people to prepare for extensive delays. This was not a motorists “Service” area it was a charging point for electric vehicles. This experience certainly confirmed to me that this country is far from ready to become 💯 electric. Avoid this place at all costs.

Long queues in and out of the car park. Terrible. The service itself is OK.

Absolute chaos, cars stopping with owners relieving themselves in full view of queuing traffic. Disgusting.

Rating for EV drivers. The EV charging is Applegreen which is the best I have found. Don't use the grid serve which is a lot slower

35 degrees heat and nowhere to sit (disabled) Burger King ..and by time I got my Cold drink ..the slush had melted .and the chicken pieces were dry, and unimaginable, waiting time was way too long, as the server happily sang away, invoice number 144 Pos:1348y ;999 pay attention Burger (prince) Not quite King yet ..first time user too 🤔 £20🤑 for 2 unsatisfactory meals extortionate !!!!

Very untidy and the tables needed a good clean

Ok services plenty of EV charging points.

Best motorway services l have visited in the UK,and l am a retired long distance driver.my partner is disabled no problem all the services on site were easy to use

Always clean and friendly staff

Good services. Spacious and clean. Only downside the toilets are upstairs. 🤣😂🤣😂lazy truck driver I am.

Clean and I felt like I was interrupting the employees of Costa from their private chat.

Car park is a bit chaotic but inside the services was clean and the selection of food outlets was good.

Huge wait at subway and I found burger king had airport prices. It was clean though

Very quiet when I visited. No queues at any of the food outlets. Very clean

Manager ruined this place by not allowing his night shift staff to accept fuel cards through night pay window, when I asked staff why rule is in place staff had no explanation and was complaining how they use to get punished by Manager for taking fuel card this way… Use to fill up truck 5 nights in a week, not supporting this kind of Manager behaviour and taking my business elsewhere.

Extortionate fuel prices, nothing special

Been here a few times now, this time was a bit dirty with leaves etc, could do with someone and one of those large brushes to keep it clean, busy as always and same with the food

Much needed recent upgrades to the toilets here has made our regular visits when head to the west country, more enjoyable but sadly those that want to cause disruption will do and soiled wc floors was not ideal on our last visit.

Convenient services with Starbucks WH Smith’s and Waitrose. Everything I need!

Very busy very popular good location for coach tours to stop off about 10 spaces close to building also good for Lorry’s they have multiple food outlets and even though extremely busy you won’t wait for too long great clean modern toilets excellent location for jumping back on route or is that en route 😄 worthy of a stop so you can refresh yourself

Not impressed by the over priced food and poor service.

A better MSA, not great or the best but better than many. Lighter and airy so you can almost but not quite relax!

Does what it says on can. Clean, can get food, drink and shop f snacks, sweets books etc. Toilets good too. Convenient for a quick rest to break journey

Only stopped quickly for something to eat nice place

Had a KFC it was awful, really really dry plus had no taste, didn't taste like KFC at all,

Could have been better if the escalators were working.

Like most motorway services, grossly overpriced

It's a Starbucks service station on the M42. The good: changing places and inclusive toilets (could do with more though). Fairly level access in from the car park. The bad: it's a Starbucks outlet so there's no choice. Either go to the Starbucks in the middle or one of the machines producing pretty much the same bland offerings. There are other franchises like Subway, Burger King and the like all selling their junk food. The ugly: Gridserve have taken accessible parking bays and turned them into inaccessible charging bays. There are other chargers including loads of Tesla (not open to all makes) around the site but the ones by the door should still be accessible. It's almost as though Gridserve think that disabled people don't need accessible bays or shouldn't drive EVs. I didn't see one wheelchair accessible charging bay at the whole site.

Modern, clean & all amenities you'd need

Very over price drinks and food

Perfectly adequate services with better than average toilets though the wait for a Burger King was agonising. I miss fast food being fast.

Driven up from London and stopped to get something to drink and finish off some work on the lap top. Stayed for two and half hours and now been fined £60 Will never use another Welcome Break if they are going to charge to park as well as sell me over priced food and drink!

I stopped here because a longer journey than planned made me need to pop in for a top up or fill up. The price of the E5 fuel was EYEWATERING. EXTRAORDINARY! Over 30p a litre more expensive than my planned stop. I was on vapours so I put two litres in and made it the next few miles to TESCO M42 J4. I can't give one star because they were there when I needed them but honestly what an absolute rip off of a captive audience.

Good food choices and nice services to rest for a while on a long journey

Modern, clean, and decent selection of fast food options. Car park hard to get out of when busy. Truck parking is large and never full.

If you love coffee, don't stop here. It is a Starbucks monopoly: upstairs, downstairs, drive-through, and even the shop machines. Even the lone Costa machine has now gone. Drive on.

Always use Hopwood Services as our mid journey pit stop, when travelling back and fore to see family up North. Always find the toilets to be spotlessly clean, and usually spot the cleaner in the nearby area, keeping ontop of it. Fast, friendly service at both the food outlets and the shops.

Very clean service area with plenty of options re food and drinks, not as busy as many other service areas

It ok serves it perpoes we stoped 2 use the toilets and buy a drink it was clean and had a range of differant shops for you to vist

Very handy place near the motorway

I recently stopped at this service station after a trip to Wales. I had some KFC and became rapidly ill afterwards, 3 days on and I'm still suffering with food poisoning. My friends purchased food from the other stands and they are fine. Just avoid the KFC!!

Motor way service expensive food and fuel

Very expensive service area for food and drink,3 different Starbuck s coffee places here 1 drive through 1 downstairs 1 upstairs by toilets

Toilets are on 1st floor and escalator was out of service

Very noisy inside due to badly designed acoustics

Amazing place to stop during a long journey. Nice facilities .

Great spot for charging EV, but shops/eateries are disappointing. Waitrose has many appetizing looking snacks, but the small print shows loads of additives. Prices at all shops and eateries are insanely high. Loos are good.

It's ok, bit of a trek of the motorway.

It provided a much needed pitstop. Plenty of parking, great bathroom facilities and various eateries to refuel. There was a few shops to grab your essentials for the road and home.

Nice place to stop off while heading northbound has all the facilities and coffee shop and regular shop for your travel needs

Chop stick excellent for chinese food

Got to love these being on-sale on the way to an Ultra Marathon.

Clean and tidy and airy facilities. Typical m'way services premiums on the price of snacks. Inadequate number of disabled spaces, and a little bizarre that there didn't appear to be any attempt at providing bins for sorting different types of waste.

Decent enough Just a long way to the services from HGV park

Facilties are clean and fresh...had KFC for lunch....very disappointed! We thought with it being busy food would be good..my chicken was nice and hot..chips soggy and cold not at all nice! Husbands were the same..very disappointed!

It's a useful service station on the M42

Ace place to eat chips off the floor

The seating areas were dirty and tatty, could do with a bit of investment and a cleaner.

Like all motorway service stations extortionate prices because they have a monopoly on services.

Usual rip off services no choice cattle market poor quality

As service station go it had all the usual facilities. Plenty of parking, no queues for food etc. All OK

One of the nicest motorway services on the M5/M42 corridor. My preferred stopping point on any Midlands run.

Very big with lots of food places and a whsmith big parking area and spacious toilets inside with disabled access very clean everywhere you look and a fabulous place to stop while on long car journeys will come again

As a truck driver the steps from the truck parking dangerous and that corner off the truck park always flooded this time year. Could the management team please do something at least with the walk way 2 and from truck parking as we pay a fair amount for parking.

Disabled toilet needs to be near the door please. Contact me when it's changed and I'll add three more stars. ♿☹️

Nice service area clean toilets etc. visited Starbucks upstairs tables were dirty also staff not cleaning tables after moving cups and rubbish.

We got here at a very busy time, burger king took ages. The food was OK when we got it but the seating area needed cleaning more often, some messy tables and only 1 person walking around wiping them.

Handy and much needed stop. Lots of choices for food and drinks.

Good place for a toilet stop and maybe a meal nice and clean

More places to buy a Starbucks coffee than is strictly necessary.

Nice place for a Service Station ⛽

Great coffee. Good break on a long journey.

Weird place, filling station not open to enter at 7am... meaning I had to go into the service area, toilets were upstairs, people having meetigns on the stairs.. I was so grumpy that day.

Good place to take a break and relax for a while

Very busy and the toilets weren't great

On this occasion I visited because I needed the loo after being stuck in traffic but because I had a dog with me couldn't actually buy any food... feeling like a master criminal l took my tiny dog with me to the loos and once again thought why aren't these places allowing dogs in to at least the forecourt food- takeout outlets? The 'dog area' had no clean water available either. If you are travelling solo and so can't leave your dog with another passenger (no way am I her leaving in the car on a hot day and with dog theft common) it's pretty poor especially in a part of the country that is otherwise very dog friendly

Toilets are upstairs. Confused many including me. Loads of car chargers.

Hopwood services you should be ashamed of yourselves. When was this dog water bowl last cleaned out? It wouldn’t have got this much algae over just one or two days.

Clean modern plenty of fast food places plus couple of shops

Great place to stretch your legs for a short time

Lovely services but horrendous to get out of, took us 30mins just to leave the carpark

Both escalators were out of order and the disabled toilets downstairs required a key. I don't know how less able people were supposed to use the toilets on the first floor since I couldn't see a lift. Very poor experience

What moron decided the toilets should be upstairs?

Not that HGV Driver friendly, running 'Snap' would make things run smoother for a rest period.

Very clean toilets. Plenty parking.

Good services, lots of EV chargers that are always working in my experience. Play area is somewhat basic but great to stretch the kids legs.

Motorway services are brilliant for breaks from long distances driving with facilities available.

Never reviewed a services before but this one was lovely. We got there late maybe 11? And there were a few places still open for food. Toilets were clean and the whole of the services was big!

Mediocre at best. Great choice for Tesla drivers but not many not enough non-tesla EV chargers.

Brilliant number of Tesla charging stations. So close to the main services building. So you can eat KFC and still see your car. Very clean and tidy, but the toilets are upstairs which seems more complicated for accessibility purposes.

I had to stop here as it's my name LoL 😆😆

Been here 3 times. First time there was a fire alarm and had to wait 10 minutes outside. Then another 15 mins for food. Second time uneventful had some food and was ok. Today a 20 second power cut, however all of the shops have to wait 15 minutes for their equipment to turn on to accept orders. Offered to pay cash but all said they couldn’t with no till systems. Even the drive through Starbucks had no tills working. Left without eating.
