Consumer magazine Which? has ranked Gloucester Services on the M5 and Tebay Services on the M6 as the best motorway services in the country.

Which? surveyed more than 2,700 members covering around 5,600 experiences at almost 70 motorway service stations across the UK. Members rated them on various criteria, including range of facilities, prices, cleanliness and service.

Gloucester Services on the M5 received the top score, with plaudits for its cleanliness, the range and quality of its shops and food outlets and its choice of facilities.

The Westmorland Family has no fast-food chains or franchises at its services. Instead its sites have Farmshops selling locally produced food and drink and Kitchens serving freshly cooked dishes made from scratch using real ingredients, including local produce.

At Gloucester Services, which opened in 2014, the family business works with more than 200 local and regional producers in its Farmshop & Kitchen.

One Which? reader said: "Everything was calm with a beautiful, landscaped environment, real food and local suppliers", and another said "Gloucester Services are just how motorway services should be."

Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria received similar praise for the freshly prepared food on offer in the Kitchen and for sale in the Farmshop.

Westmorland Family chair Sarah Dunning said: "We're so very proud of our colleagues and suppliers who have helped our services achieve and maintain these remarkable rankings.

"We're a business based in quality food, but it's the people who make and service this great produce that set us apart and we're immensely proud of our teams."
