About

Brightside is bringing proper hospitality back to roadside dining with a modern menu that exceeds expectations.

We think our Big Breakfast – accompanied with a pile of tangy sourdough toast – is the UK roadside’s best and is served all day alongside a tasty brunch menu.

Choose from a range of freshly cooked comfort classics – brilliant burgers, Fish & Chips, Ham and Eggs and a spicy Bombay Curry.

After something a little more contemporary? There’s Smashed Avocado on Toast topped a free range poached egg and sprinkled with Aleppo chilli, punchy North African flavours with our popular Shakshuka, an indulgent Steak and Eggs, and a selection of lighter bites and colourful salads.

Need to takeaway? We have a wide selection of breakfast rolls to go, or grab one of our fully loaded sourdough pizzas – ready in a jiffy and cooked to order on site.

We understand that happy kids mean happy families, and our Bright Sparks menu is full of crowd pleasing burgers, pancakes, chicken strips, fish fingers and pizza. Time for ice cream? Don’t miss our soft serve sundaes – sure to put a smile on the face of the weariest little traveler.

You’ll also find free snack pots so hungry kids can get nibbling right away, free apples for the onward journey, activity sheets, and giant games in our outdoor terrace.

With plenty of vegan and gluten-free options, damn fine Clifton Coffee and our much talked about nostalgic decor – think Little Chef meets Stranger Things – we’re sure you’ll be back for another warm welcome somewhere down the road… travel happy!
