• Truckers Rest is luring drivers into its restaurant with dishes from around the world. This month, the West Midlandsbased truck
stop started rustling up meals from a different country each week.
This week a spread of Italian dishes, including pasta, spaghetti and pizza, are on sale alongside traditional truckstop fare.
Next on the menu comes a week of Scottish and Spanish specialities. Dishes include mutton pie, salted eggs in tomato sauce and paella-no prizes for guessing which country they come Around the World project, an Irish feast of stew, boiled bacon and beef and Guinness pie, went down well. And it looks likely that it will become a regular benefit of using the truckstop which is based near West Bromwich, off Jl of the M5.
Drivers can also get a taste of the Wild West at Truckers Rest on Friday nights. Every week there is a Country and Western evening where drivers can take part in a shoot out—a computer tells the sheriff who hit first. These nights are open to the public and have increased the number of drivers who stay at the stop on Fridays overnight from around 65 to 90.
