Exeter services is a motorway service station on the M5 motorway near Exeter. It is owned by Moto.
They are single site services, accessed from both directions of the M5, for this reason it can get very busy.
It opened in 1977, at the same time as the final stretch of M5 motorway upon which it is situated. In the early 2000s, it was one of the first to gain a Café and nowadays the only one to still operate the last existing Harry Ramsden's on the Road Network which is situated in the Travelodge Motel. At the time, the Coffee Shop would have been Caffe Ritazza but was replaced by Costa Coffee in 2009, like Fresh Express which was replaced by The Eat & Drink Co. In early 2011, it was one of the few along with Reading services and Toddington services to now gain West Cornwall Pasty Company kiosks. Its a tight-fit for Exeter Services, and its surprising that Harry Ramsden's hasn't closed upon the new arrival, and Moto Hospitality are still not having any trouble with keeping the franchises open. Apart from this, Exeter Services certainly make a good pit-stop via travelling to Devon and Cornwall!
