Ross Spur Services is a southbound-only service area on the A449 at the end of the M50 motorway. Formerly operated by BP, it is now owned by Euro Garages and was planning to be expanding to incorporate drive-through restaurants with a seating area and a shop.[1] A Starbucks was added with a drive through but the Burger King was never added.

History

Welcome Break sold the services in 2001, and from 2001-2012 the services were derelict with nothing more than a BP and a Spar. When Euro Garages finally bought the site in 2011, the services were planned to expanded to form a fairly large service area and to expand Euro Garage's network of sites as they only operated one motorway service area at the time.

Construction

Construction of the service station started in 2011 and was finished in mid-2012. The original service area was constructed between 1965-1966. Since a Starbucks, Subway and Greggs have been added.

Layout

The Service Area consists of two buildings. The first a Starbucks with outside seating and the second a Spar with a Subway with a Greggs more recently constructed.
