Good effort, but sadly that doesn't include the pot of tea, which at an additional £1.85 takes you over budget

Is it hot enough to fry an egg on the A303 then?

Can share a pot of tea, surely.

Can you clarify, whether you are looking for the 'best brekkie' or the cheapest ('VFM')?

My Dad has to trek the A303 a lot for work, and swears by this place:

Looks decent almost worth a drive out one day just to sample [emoji54]

Just do it.

If they challenge you shout “Do you know who I am?” If they say no, look at them indignantly, shout good and walk out.

Son said that was typical of you and your sense of humour LOL.

Address is Solstice Retail Park, I don't know if that's the same place?

I think so as there are a number of places there like KFC Holiday Inn etc. just that I referred to it as the services

Yes it's my first stop from Plymouth to Sussex, I have to make it my first stop just to get past Stonehenge because of the traffic, there are many eateries there, usual outlets and a Toby
Can't stop there on the way home because it's the wrong side of Stonehenge, the longer you leave not passing Stonehenge the greater chance of being stuck in awful slow moving traffic.

I think the last time I went to Cornwall we stopped here

http://www.kmc.ac.uk/gardens/plan-your-visit/coach-house-cafe/

Which is helpfully nowhere near the A303, but it might be useful to some looking to avoid the breakfast hoardes tracking this thread.

I think that from Haywards Heath the quickest route is the A272 to Winchester then up the A34 to join the A303 but that is a personal choice as I think the coast road is too slow and too many hold ups. I want to get to Cornwall ASAP once I leave home.

Been going down for over 28 years to visit family and now son, tried every way and it’s my preferred route . As a private hire driver doing 80,000 miles a year driving is all about what time you are on the road otherwise all roads are a pain . Try to leave Wisborough Green around 5am when we go
Over the time I been going down my best and worse times are 3 hours 15 mins I know shhhhhhh
And 7 hours 45 when I didn’t know any better

If you want to get to Cornwall in the shortest time possible you will be having breakfast at a motorway services

Grunching - but the quickest way to get to Cornwall does not involve stopping for niceties such as food, drink or comfort breaks...

It seems strange that in the 70s my then boss used to allow himself 2.5 hours to get from Cambourne to Wimbledon probably would get from Exeter in that time now.

Off topic Toby Carveries are offering a free meal to all veterans this Sunday for Armed Forces Day.

Sorry, back on topic.

270 miles in 90 minutes = average speed of 108mph. Pretty good going up Cornish A-roads
