Stracathro Services - Angus

Stopped off here as our first choice peggy scotts was jammed with cones and could not work out how to navigate. everything is outdated and run down. from the choices I picked soup and a cheese and onion toastie with a cake. It was passable beggars can't be choosers. would not rush back and would not recommend. was up and out as soon as finished eating.

This place should be knocked down toilets stink shower there's 1 not great food terrible its never changed in over 30yrs

Highly recommended. Came in for breakfast. Great fresh food and friendly service. Reasonable prices to

Stracathro is a service area beside the road between Aberdeen and the central belt. There are few places trucks can stop, and I’ve stopped there in the past for a coffee, food and use of facilities. We stopped today as we thought it would be open as there were a few trucks parked up. In fact though it was middle of the afternoon on a weekday the cafe was shut, the parking area was like the surface of the moon, and there was only 1 toilet available in the nearby service station. This is really not good enough for a major service area on a major Scottish route. Are the Scot gov completely relying on private services to provide and when they go out of business or close that’s it folks?

So unless you want to loose a lot of weight very quickly, I’d avoid the scampi
