Tebay, the farm-to-fork pitstop in the Lake District, has been diverting drivers since 1972
Most motorway services are an uninspiring pitstop of fluorescent lighting, petrol filling stations and fast food. But in Cumbria’s Lake District, Tebay Services is a destination in its own right: more than four million people visit every year. Opened in 1972 on the northbound carriageway of the M6,was Britain’s first – and remains one of the only – independently owned, farmer-run services.
” – think homemade shepherd’s pie, buns stuffed with locally farmed bacon and Sunday roasts. There’s a butcher’s counter selling whole racks of lamb, Cumbrian-style Camembert at the cheesemongers, and locally sourced cupboard goods including dried spelt pasta, jams and a banana chutney by Penrith-based Mr Vikki’s . The shop also stocks candles , hand-carved chopping boards and ceramics from nearby makers.
The lifestyle section is stocked with a similar ethos. Tebay works with around 80 producers within 30 miles, offering colourful “Westmorland” socks using wool from the farm’s sheep, bespoke lambswool knits by Harley in Scotland, Anglepoise lamps in limited colourways, and hats and bags by Kendal-based Molly Sellars, who recycles the fabric from abandoned tents.
