Originally had different building designs on either side of the Motorway.
This was very unusual at the time.
Each facility was housed in its own unique building
Phil Reynolds remembers: " I remember stopping at Woodall in about
1980 (allow a year either side) to find that the price lists for food
and drink were different on the two carriageways, with the cheaper one
closed. This was probably a year when there was a major refurbishment
at this site."
Has a "secret" exit
Popular with coaches, and currently has a Coach Haven - a separate area
for coach drivers. However, an earlier coach Haven at a different was
not used and has since been removed.
The old distinctive features of the "original" Woodhall are
all airbrushed out but you can still see the round circular ceiling window
from the outside. Inside is a medium sized MSA, with the usual facilities,
but of note, a few comfy sofas in the seating area (intended for coffee
drinkers). My travelling companion ordered fish and chips, which was cooked
to order, huge and very good, exceeding the standard of many a fish and
chip restaurant. She wouldn't praise anything which didn't deserve it,
so it must have been good! (she rated the loos as "scruffy, but better
than the loos at an earlier stop"

There's this Coffee Primo in the restaurant area, and another in
lounge area with SOFA's adjacent to the main seating area. |
