Quite a modern set of services on the M6, just south of Manchester. It's a bit pricy, we had a Burger King here for two and it cost over £20. Food was nice, just expensive. Costa, KFC, WH Smith and M&S on site. Petrol also available at the station nextdoor and charging points on site. Seemed well run.

As a motorway service station Roadchef Sandbach is pretty tired indoors. A lot of the decor and furniture have definitely seen better days. The thing that differentiates this establishment from others is the staff. They obviously go to a lot of effort to keep the place very clean and hygienic. I've visited Moto many times but while the places are modern, they are always filthy. Tables, not cleaned, etc. That wasn't the case here. All the tables, floors and seats were spotlessly clean. We had food from McDonald's on site. It was quick, efficient and pleasant. The only negative thing was the McDonald's ordering terminals always seem to be out of paper (not just at this branch). I would like a receipt. Otherwise, thanks for the break on a 300 mile journey. This is a decent place.

Pretty standard branch of Home Bargains. A good selection of products and cheap prices that you'd expect from HB. Not the biggest of car parks though.

Home Bargains, and a few other stores. Limited parking. Access and egress from the park can be a bit of a pain depending on which way you are coming from or going to. Other than that, not very much to say.

This branch of Pets at Home is fairly standard offering a range of foods and other products for a range of animals. A small selection of animals is also available, plus a reasonable selection of fish. In general the prices can be expensive. It depends what you are buying. The tropical fish and other animals looked reasonably well cared for.
