The building itself has the aesthetic of a modern, country home with lights hung up outside. Just next to the services is a small, quiet lake with ducks living there – a great place for drivers can stop off to relax and enjoy their break.
The canteen inside sells eggs, sausages, bacon pies, and other classic farm shop grub.
A meal will set you back about £12 if you opt for a steak and ale pie with macaroni and cheese.
Gary Eats, a content creator on Youtube, visited Tebay Services and had one of the cottage pies.
He said: “Everything about it I like, just a little bit more flavour in the gravy…but bear in mind, I have dessert to come and that’s all for £11.95. I think that’s pretty good.”

Gary also tried some bangers and mash with gravy. After sampling the Cumberland sausages, he said: “They are excellent. I like the colour to them, but more importantly, it is the flavour. I think that’s excellent.”
Giving his final thoughts on the services as a whole, Gary said: “I like this place, for a services, not bad.
“Do you know what? I have been to worse restaurants than that, that was quite pleasant. It wasn’t reinventing the wheel…but it was made inhouse which I like.
“I like the setup here, I feel really relaxed, I like the scenery and the views outside and the service is excellent…it’s the best services I have been to.”
His overall mark was an 8/10.
