• Pain aux Raisins, salami/mortadella and walnut bread are all part of the fare at Granada's first Continental-style coffee bar.
Granada admits that the bar at its Leigh Delamere service station is aimed at businessmen and women who have the luxury of being able to claim back meal expenses from their employers, but it says truck drivers seeking "a quiet atmosphere to relax in" are welcome. Be prepared, however: if you do decide to treat yourself you'll be expected to stump up £2,60 for a savoury filled croissant and .£1.49 for a cappuccino. If you are interested the coffee bar is on the eastbound carriageway of the M4 between J17 and J18, near Chippenham, Wilts.
Li P&O European Ferries has doubled the size of the truck driver restaurants on two of its vessels. The Pride of Dover and Pride of Calais can now seat 108
each.
