Junction 29 Truck Stop in North East Derbyshire

Open price food For the amount of food you get I ordered rice curry Portion of chips which i paid £2.30 for the chips as extra. I got no more than eight chips The portion Sizes are gone very small on the main meals for the price thay charge I've worked hard all day at least do us drivers a decent size portion meal

Medium sized truck park with rough parking. I have not stopped here before and if I was looking for a breakfast every day I wouldn’t stop here regularly as the price is way to expensive for a daily meal at £7.95. There are other places with better breakfasts and much cheaper. As mabanaft own this place and get a good screw out of the diesel sales as a fuel wholesaler I would have thought that they would have provided food at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and the place was clean, the shop well stocked but on average driver wages I won’t be spending my HARD earned cash in there. I did not check the overnight parking prices so cannot comment , beats me why the Uk charge for parking in truck stops when they don’t in europe What I assume was the manager cam in wearing a mask but when he addressed the staff in the kitchen he took it off , why even bother !!!!

I like truck stops. I have the idea that people who drive for a living have the best idea of where to find the good food. I also like British cuisine, and truckers do tend to be traditional. I don't like service stations. I don't like being just another anonymous face being served factory food. When you're on the road, you eventually need to eat, and it's easy to take it as just fuel. I don't like having to be away from home, so I need more than fuel. I need comfort. So, Junction 29? First, even though I rolled in to park my little car among dozens of giant trucks, I was welcomed warmly. The service was friendly and accommodating. Because of the ongoing COVID issue, I had a takeaway to picnic in my car, which they were happy to accommodate. But the most important part was the comfort. It's easy to get a Full English Breakfast wrong. There are so many components that can be overcooked or undercooked or simply carelessly provided. My breakfast was cooked by someone who obviously really cared about what they were doing. I have never had better, anywhere (even at home). OK, it's simple fare, but I have had really sloppy, badly done breakfasts and this was just absolutely spot on. I have a map of pit stop locations that I keep for my road trips. Junction 29 is now on my map.
