  • Stafford North and south excellent for excersising the dog, plenty of space. - 2007-07-18
  • It is now called Truckhaven. Instead of the usual overpriced fast food outlets, you get quality honest food and low prices. A wee gem! Take notes MSAs - 2005-06-14
  • Visited a few years ago - I was very impressed! - 2007-04-28
  • This is my favorite MSA and since my wife died i like to go there for my sunday roastas its yummy. - 2008-02-07
  • Stafford South is one of my favourite Motorway Service Areas. It has all the elements that any tired traveller wants – Good toilets, choice of food, ample parking, newspapers and the bonus of a babbling pool, plus a sylvan picnic area. My only bad point (recently) is that the men's toilets has the awful circular sink/soap/tap monstrosity. Something I thought (and hoped) was restricted to the M62 services, it seems this devils spawn is spreading its evil tentacles. 4-4-2015

This is a very old site, and we used to have a voting/comment system here, but for now it is turned off, sorry. Please also note the comments above are very old too and won't necessarily reflect the current state of the site and reflect the opinion of a visitor to the website, not the view of the website operator.
