You can't go wrong with Tebay Services. The view is outstanding. Burger King,Mcdonalds &KFC charge a small fortune. Atleast you get fresh ingredients in a nice clean restaurant served by people who want to be there. Not angry teenagers making some corporation £Bs.
I have refused to pay for anything at a motorway services since paying nearly a tenner for 2 slices of manky toast and a cold sausage..12 years ago.
£11.95 doesn’t seem that expensive
Its more expensive because all the pies are made on premises rather than bought in bulk.
From this review and others you do ..stick to McDonald's..more your level
That meal was cheaper than what most chip shops charge for fish and chips.
Not a cheap motorway services eaten there many times and definitely the best quality.
It's lifestyle Lee for those who think nothing of paying huge amounts of money for electric chariots or electric gadgets/ huge coffee machines they don't need just to say something about themselves.
I'd rather pay that than have screaming kids,slot machines etc.
Beautiful view .
Lots of dogs barking though. Also lots of kids. Kids eat free.
£11.95 for a service station meal that was in your own words "very nice", "good quality" and "tasty" is not actually expensive though, is it?
...all locally sourced. In which case, it should be cheaper as the stuff hasn't travelled halfway around the world.
If it's local and ethically sourced I'm sure it's a reflection of real costs. I would rather have a supply chain with way more local suppliers and far fewer multinational firms churning processed food through massive factories....
Dick Turpin didn't waste £180,000 on a car!
OUCH! Nice one! And one he apparently hates but can't afford to get rid of because he bought it on finance!
The ICE drivers got to the Mac’ds and KFC. The Ev drivers go to the over price pretentious posh nosh, so they can look down their ripped off noises at the normal people.
A bit posh for me says a man with a Porshe Taycan!
Id rather pay 11.95 for that than a vile mcds or burger king. Where was the gravy? 😂😂😂😂😂
That was reasonably priced imo. You pay more than that to be full at Burgerking and the others now. Pret, £7.50 for a sandwhich the other day, no thanks!
HP sauce is made in Holland and Daddies in Poland after they were bought by
Heinz. Tiptree brown sauce made by Wilkins & Sons is far better and made in the UK.
Totally agree , Wilkins brown sauce is the best .
Actually £11.95 for pie chips and peas sit down meal is not that outrageous in this day and age and the pie did have some meat in it did you not pay £16 for the same meal at El Pose oh on Nottingham Road not long back. Farm Shop is actually the latin name for rip off place
You will always find a Celtic Supporter no matter where you go 🍀🍀
Peanut Butter: Crunchy on toast, smooth in a satay. Nom nom! 😊
the gravy looked just like what the ducks were swimming in lol
I’ve had several breakfasts in those services and they were dreadful . I’ve also stayed in the hotel on the northbound side ,, the dinner menu was so limited I had a bag of peanuts.
I have stopped at the Gloucester Tebay services. I can't remember how much the breakfast cost, I do remember how good quality the food was. From someone who drives an electric car I was surprised by your condescending attitude to the "green" roof. Personally I would rather eat here than have a soggy tasteless Mcdonalds.
Don't you mean Gloucester AND Tebay? They are both place names.
These motorway services know how to charge.
£11.95 for a pie, a few chips and some peas all swimming in school thickness gravy.
These places are a last option when you are desperate for a break.
Rip off britain is still out there.
Actually, that probably isn't that much more expensive than most service stations! That is, if you can find a restaurant in one! The vast majority seem to have been converted to either Mc Donalds or Costas!
Guarantee the staff don't benefit from the obscene prices they charge.
You think that's highway robbery? Then just you wait until you drive from Chicago to California and see the prices they charge on the motorways here! And it's crunchy PB for me. mmmm.
You got out of the wrong side this morning….
..the right side is jammed up against the wall!😂
EASY,DO NOT USE THEM !
I can see in the future, "Obesity rises due to people eating while EVs charge"
I personally don't think the price is that bad, you'd surely pay similar at other services for lower quality food.
Its £11 for a Burger Kibg meal at most service stations, so you're being a little unfair...
I'd say £11.95 is the going rate for that sort of meal these days, if anything i'd say it's cheap given the somewhat captive audience.
Peanut butter: Crunchy - extra crunchy. But NOT at that price.
Looks like the sort of place where people who have more money than sense go. Like people who drive EVs 😂😂😂
Yes Tebay is the best but certainly the most expensive. But it attracts very rich people like yourself so it doesn't matter. All the second homers from the Lakes go there.
Mate, its called tomato ketchup, not red sauce. May as well start calling mayo white sauce lol
Pie and chips costs at least that much and often more in most pubs. That said, I wouldn't have thought that the price of their meat and groceries would attract enough customers to maintain viability but, presumably, it does. I have visited their Gloucester services on a few occasions and I have found it to be a far more pleasurable atmospheric experience and refreshing alternative to the mini shopping malls of globally recognisable fast food and coffee shop outlets that now infest our motorway network as well as everywhere else. These aren't particularly cheap either and none offer anything requiring a table, a chair, a plate and some cutlery, let alone the pleasant surroundings complete with duck pond and some interesting architecture.
Touring motorway services now?
I’m sorry Lee, but you’re wrong. All the Costa/Marks/McDonalds cookie stamp services are at least as expensive if not more than the Westmorlands, and crucially they are much worse value for money. Tebay is only ‘pretentious’ if that means it’s a higher quality than the shit they serve elsewhere on the network. They now have five service areas in the UK, and I would never use anywhere else if they had more. Frankly this is the most unfair food review you’ve ever done, and that’s really saying something. They should be applauded for going out on a limb to give the traveller a superior choice and much better value for money than the chains. You’re always slagging off Starbucks and McDonalds and then you do this to a company that really tries to do something a little more original and much better quality. Highway robbery? As you might say, shame on you. Obviously just struggling for some original clickbait this week…💩
£11.95 is not to bad for service station.
I had a breakfast in Tebay and it was absolutely abysmal, You are correct about Gloucester Services they are on both Northbound and Southbound sides of the M5 between junctions 11A and 12 Lee
Crunchy Peanut butter MacMaster but with salad cream in a Sarnie, spot on:) Don't ask how it come about. As a kid Teabay was our favourite stop, Old man in Navy route to faslane for his boat. Teabay has changed since I last visited. Bearing in mind Teabay has own farm shop would you expect a pukka pie? Agree with you on weak gravy, Pie like that should be thick gravy that you have to lick of plate, just like Nana use to make, showing age now :) Chips well every service station goes for cheap option as in frozen, but would you pay extra for double or triple cooked chips? Question for you MacMaster as your a foodie like me. How about a vid on supermarket meat verses the Traditional local old school Butcher which is better, pay more or pay less? I think you will be surprised?
A Pukka steak and ale pie in Tesco is £2. They are full, large and delicious
I actually feel sorry for you. Life has really dealt you a poor hand, if a £2 Pukka pie eaten at home is the best you have to look forward to.🙁
It's not pretentious it small producers artisans etc offering something different.
They produce small batches using fresh ingredients i think it's called enterprise.
That server at 8mins50 needs a beardnet and hairnet :( - urghhh!!
Crunchy peanut butter on crumpets but smooth on toast 🫶
shot of whiskey every time the gravy is mentioned
Jameson
There is a third one about 20 miles south of Glasgow on the M74, Cairn Lodge. Breakfast can leave something to be desired I would agree, but generally I think the prices are reasonable considering the quality of what you get as compared to any where else in Motorway Service areas. A bit unjustified this criticism I think.
Go to any premier league game and that pie was cheap.🤣
Trust House Forte motorway services were the absolute pits.
I did like Little chef, they were okay.
TBH, in this day and age I don’t think that £11.95 is too bad for that meal at a UK service station. Yes, it’s expensive, but pie and chips at a chippie is through the roof now, and you’d pay much more for an inferior meal at a train station or airport…….
vinegar, red sauce and brown sauce with that? 😂
btw best brown sauce ever is chop brown sauce by hammonds, give it a try and you will never go back ❤
3rd option for Brown Sauce Wilkin & Son from Tiptree in Essex, but available in most supermarkets, it's a really nice fruity brown sauce .
What’s the score out of 10 I may have miss heard it
In a place called Glenderby in Perthshire, a local land owner decided to build a log cabin hotel calling it The Edelweiss Hotel.
He subsequently built luxury chalets and sold them to people who either wanted a holiday home or to retire to. All had turf roofs just like their cousins in Sweden.
Definitely EVangelists natural environment .
My old friend, sadly deceased now, always took all the sugar, salt etc. from the table to use at home. He had lots of money, maybe that is why he had lots of money.
Sorry Lee, Your backround noise/music has not improved.
And the background sky …..
It's you taste in music that needs to change. :0) x
@@TheMacMasterI like your videos. It appears not everyone does, and a professional like you needs to roll with the punches with a smile. This last reply was a little combative.
It is gloucestershire and does look like a telly tubby house. Very expensive but thousands pay the prices everyday
How come places that sell nice goods are pretentious? "I think you'll find" that expensive is best !! Buy cheap buy twice is my motto ....😊
There's nothing more expensive than something you don't like. You just threw your money away.
You're paying extra so that other people's kids can eat for a £1. Not for the view.
highly recommend the Gloucester services, it's like this place but on steroids
Pie looked tasty though😊
Sorry Lee but i think thats way better value than a £4 or £5 sandwich from Starbucks or Costa. Id go with locally sourced peoduce at Tebay over just about any other service station.
Im a smooth PB guy... Btw the Scots and English are all a fuss over sticky toffee pudding origins.... Lets just say its British🇬🇧
My husband always says that about expensive things😂😂😂
I was a regular visitor to Tebay ya right it cost fortune but great place when I worked for national express stopped on way down from Edinburgh to Plymouth and on the way back mainly meals I liked the pie we also stopped at Gloucester Tebay as we called it great breakfast no wonder I was size of a horse lol great vid Lee as usual x
This from a guy who hates EV cars and bought a 2nd one - how much did your Taycan cost. If you consider Tebay to be expensive and a ROBBERY i sugest that you stop off next time at Burton in Kendal which is one before Tebay going north. Bottom line is you get what you pay for - just look at your EV cars 😀😀
My daughter works in Gloucester Services. It is very expensive. Only visited a couple of times for breakfast. But of course accompanied by my daughter, who gets a good discount. Was OK, but not the best I've had ..
Always mad busy though!
Honestly what’s the problem here? £11.95 for a meal nowadays especially at a motorway service area is what you have to pay and I’m not on about Tebay. You had a nice meal for less than £12. Go to any burger joint at the services - Maccas or BK and you pay £8 just for a rancid burger. It’s not the most expensive services at all - think you were determined not to like this from the start
Totally agree. He would have been quite happy to pay that for undercooked fish & chips from his local chippy but not happy paying it for decent food in a lovely location.
It's not decent food though is it?
@@TheMacMaster it looked nicer than that crap you ate in your car the other day in Pudsey.
@TheMacMaster a lot better food there than your usual McDonald's or Starbuck crap
What a rip off. Next time pack some ham and cheese sandwiches with Branston's pickle and do a review of it.
Definitely frozen chips Lee. Gravy like dish water 😊
My wife will have no chance lifting that cable, hole EV con is not designed for disabled people.😮
ALL motorway service stations are rip off places. Tebay Services just does it in a nicer way! I did visit it some years ago and have to say it's totally different to all the others. It's actually a pleasant place to stop despite the higher prices.
Unfair Macster. I’ve been to all the Westmorland places including Tebay when I get back to the UK every year - I have to drive frequently between England and Scotland and always plan to stop at their places. Compared to the crap-hole alternatives they are streets ahead and value for money.
I can remember little chef when it was around used to be really expensive
I have been to the same services in Gloucestershire. Lovely place with a nice ambience - a little pretentious but think that's the trend now. Not bad value for money, McDonald's and Burger King would've been more expensive. The gravy could've been thicker though.👌😂
Peanut butter - always crunchy - try it with a dusting of black pepper! - - - Gravy?? I've seen thicker dish-water! - - - You are trying to tear that vinegar packe the wrong way - look at the coloured end, and tear it DOWN the impressed wrinkles! - - - -
Cant beat tebay services its fantastic!the butcher is reasonably priced and they cut a tbone steak the the thickness that you want
Oh Lee…it’s bad enough having an electric car, but peanut butter too? I started to think you’re on a real downward spiral, but you saved yourself with the sticky toffee pudding. I think there might be hope for you 😂😂
You always pay a little extra for local products 👍👍
Gravy as weak as many a political promise.😉
All service stations are expensive, always have been, but this one at least has some nice stuff on sale. Wasn't it voted best service station or sometihing? I thought the pie and chips were alright, I'd enjoy that meal, yes the gravy could have been thicker and more of it, but it was ok, not the best you've ever had, but ok.
When I can chargea car's battery (like I can fill my car's tank) in three minutes, I'll call in for a cuppa and a bite to eat and be on my way. And it won't be at a motorway services.
Lee you have obviously never tried Hammonds Chop Sauce which is THE brown sauce!!! Try it mate, you'll never look back, think Morrison's still sell it!
I wasn’t sure if I’d missed your score, and had to rewind it, but you didn’t leave one. What would it have been?
Lee when are you going to the sausage factory behind the shop.
I lost my taste for peanut butter many years ago whilst using it successfully for mouse traps, but before that .. coarse/crunchy definitely
Yes Tebay is rather expensive. On a recent trip to Shap Abbey, we stopped for some chilli pork pies which were dear but delicious and we bought some lamb rolls which were minced lamb wrapped in pastry. I cooked them at Shap Abbey on the camping Gaz stove flipping them in a ridge monkey iron pan. They were delicious between some Lancashire bottom muffins. We got some dirty looks from the sheep though, probably because we ate their cousin Bryan. Fair comment about charge points and disability, as a disabled chap I have no such problems as the wife puts diesel in the car. Oh the range you can get in just 5 minutes. Loved the Dick Turpin gag, reminded me of growing up, it was one of dad;s favourite phrases. Keep up the good work.
I was looking at the kids menu. Prices are high compared to most places, but when I looked at the calories, the portions must be incredibly small as well. Your pie and chips were not very generous either, but the peas were alright.
The frog in the lab was back again in this one Lee! 😂😂
You're right Lee. The other one is Gloucester and I've been to both. A tad expensive, especially in the farm shop, but you get what you pay for. 👍
12 quid for pie and chips. Need your head testing. 😮
I wasn't impressed with this Service Station.I thought it looked dirty.A coach load of foreign Students were in it busy touching all the Bread that was out on display to buy!
Quite disappointing I noticed people went in and went over to the service station and bought from there!
Wasnt that dear.oh its not yur Local.I thought it was well worth £11.50 .
Really enjoyed this Lee. Your camera captured everything. Don't you just love it when the shop says "For Just .....". Daylight robbery.
Pie looked nice…10 chips…watery gravy..
Still expensive
@9:15 .. tip .. you open out the little pot for a larger area to produce a better experience with the little pots 😁
Remember Getting Robbed on the daily when working up and down the country when I was younger from Motorway Services the robbing Bastards .
Alternatively you can stop at places like Charnock Richard which always smells of urine and pay almost as much for a lukewarm Whopper with cheese.
