We are traveling down to Looe in August using the M25, M3, A303, A30 a bit of the M5 and then the A38, can any one suggest a good place to stop for a food and drink break that is suitable for caravans.

Hope you can help

If I remember rightly there is a large layby on the left (your side) driving to Cornwall, which also has a sit down burger/bacon/egg bar and do a mean cup of tea. Think this is situated on the A30 about 8 miles from exeter, failing this there is always the Exeter services but a lot of people use this for the same reason and likely to be more expensive.

Just checked and we usually go down the A30 rather than 303, and there is a greasy spoon just beofer the junction where the A303 joins the A30.. nothing great but nice customer service etc.. major downside is only one loo!!!!!

Take your food with you, we always self cater en route. Much better, and much cheaper, and all part of the holiday.
All you need is a lay-by .

Theres a big car park at the petrol station/little chef by the exeter race course on the A30 makes a nice break.

I agree with jennifern.Take your food with you.we take one of those little gas cookers and make our own cuppa,There are picnic areas here and there,we usually stop at one of those.Yes it all adds to the fun of your holiday.
