Near the Motorways
Affordable Alternatives to Service Stations
by Hugh Cantlie
The essential guide for anyone using the motorways
NEW 9th EDITION
WHAT’S NEW?
A lot ! There’s a new edition of this best-selling guide to affordable hostelries.
Some 30 have been replaced to bring it up to date and to give better value for money.
As the recession bites, ever higher fuel prices mean long car journeys are enough of an expense without forking out over-the-top prices for service station meals.
If you’re after a better choice and value, but don’t know where to find it, you need this new edition of Hugh Cantlie’s handy glove-box sized guide.
Near the Motorways, Affordable Alternatives to Service Stations, has now been helping tired and hungry motorists to find a decent pit-stop for almost a decade.
And they are all within five minutes of a motorway junction. Inside, you’ll find easy to follow maps, plus SatNav, details of more than 200 pubs, hotels, cafes and restaurants, illustrated with pen and wash sketches by the author.
This easy to use guide also pinpoints any local petrol stations, opening and order times for food and a guide to prices. Plus, you’ll find details of any places of interest nearby.
They have all been visited and chosen personally by Hugh and guarantee something different from the same old service station fare.
A good menu, friendly service, congenial atmosphere and a welcome to well-behaved children and dogs are essential requirements for complimentary inclusion in this essential guide.
Hugh said: “Stopping for a break during your journey doesn’t automatically mean pulling in to the nearest motorway service station. There are so many great places close to the motorways that you might otherwise never know were there.”
All UK motorways are included in the guide plus A1(M), A3(M), A14 & A19.
