Tebay Services - Eden

The food wasn't hot we were in as they opened it was expensive in comparison to elsewhere. Had the dearest breakfast got it wrong and no toast. Hadn't been here for a while but has gone rapidly downhill.

Absolutely disgusting bacon and sausage bap inedible if I hadn’t already left would have took it back. Inedible. If anyone is interested it’s on the hard shoulder of m6 about 250 yards from slip road. Hope the local wildlife survives

We’ve been stopping here for years and have always been hugely impressed, particularly by the shop, which is outstanding. However, the food offer seems to be going downhill. I had fish and chips; the fish was dreadfully overcooked, with dark brown batter, and the portion of peas was microscopic. There were no forks, apart from wooden takeaway ones. Whoever is in charge of the restaurant really needs to pay attention to the many critical reviews.

Having been to Tebay Services South before on business and had been impressed, dropped in with my wife on the way to Manchester. The food on offer had obviously been sitting for hours, dried and unappealing. My wife choose macaroni and chips, the macaroni was flavourless mush and her hot chocolate weak, with very little chocolate. My steak and ale pie was so hard that I could not cut through the base, I asked for gravy and the staff poured a full ladle of gravy over it, the plate was swimming in gravy. I returned the pie and complained, the disinterested staff gave me a new pie but never replied to my comment about the macaroni. Staff were disinterested in my complaint, they just had a blank look. Total waste of £30, will not return and will spread the word that it is not worth visiting.

Tebay like all motorway services can be pricey BUT I was delighted to discover they have a modestly price lunch option now. Also suitable for ‘grab and go’ it’s a delicious soup and good sarnie, for £6.50. The facilities are always spotless and the Farm Shop worth a look.
