Park here when I can.. Secure and quiet for a great night's sleep. Bonus is a free meal and shower when parking on SNAP. A great couple Jim and Jo run it and can't do enough for you so it's a big thumbs up from me.

Absolutely lovely place, owners are fantastic and really down to earth, well decorated. If you're a lorry driver, motorcycle fanatic or just a generally decent person, this is the place for you. Food was cooked perfectly, not fatty or greasy, good portion sizes and fantastic prices. Highly recommended and will be coming back!

Shed 30 is run by Jim and Jo. An independent business run in a friendly and welcoming manner. Stop here when I can, SNAP parking and food is all freshly cooked to order, chips are fantastic. Amenities are all clean and well maintained. Shower cleaned after every use. Easy parking and quiet for a good sleep with gate to entrance closed at 2130 ish and exit is open for anytime departure. Highly recommend it as a place to stop at for breaks or overnights. Ironically I was there on a Bikers Night , Wednesday, and plenty of Bikers were there enjoying a run out. I will Stop again for sure

Lovely place, ran by a personable couple who are working very hard to make this a great business. Breakfast was really tasty and well cooked, so much so my son couldn't wait to tuck in before I took a photo! Two breakfasts and drinks for £20 all in! Place is themed and keeps you interested whilst you freshly cooked food is prepared. This is bu far the bedt place to stop within 30mls on this stretch of road. If you are travelling south do yourself a favour and turn round to visit.

Nice little biker style cafe. Didn't have food but it seems ok and reasonable prices.black coffee and a coke, £3 10p. Quite cheap. Pleasant staff. Friendly. Only downside is they could do with a bigger sign. It's quite small and we had to turn in quite sharply. Nearly missed it. We saw the sign further up the road so knew to watch out for it but it could be easily missed. That's the only downer to it and it's nothing really. Would Definitely recommend it.
