South Mimms Services M25
Comment on South Mimms Services MSA
Went to have some supper at the services after getting off the tube at 9pm on Monday. I had just been on a food hygiene course and was appalled at the food we received. The pie and chips were cold and the sausage and mash that my husband had was dry and cold too. All food which is kept warm should be kept at 75oC or more. This was obviously not the case here. Awful,Awful,Awful.

Missed required junction on M25 and ended up here. What a mistake! Difficult entry from north side, crossing lines of traffic. Worst breakfast I have ever had at a service station, cold and totally unappetising. Avoid!!!

The cleanest site I have ever been to. No litter anywhere, even the boundary hedges were spotless, also the interior public areas and the loos. Congratulations.

If you like to see rats running about this car park is the place for you! There are several large ones scuttling about from bin to bin in the service area car park. I dread to think where else they may be on the site; I prefer not to eat there. Definitely a case for a good rat catcher.

Went there on 11th July last year at 22:58, KFC was shut despite advertising that it was open till 23:00. I know there's a delay in writing this review but it's taken me this long to come to terms with having to make do for an inferior burger king. Complained to head office but heard nothing back. Blatantly run by a bunch of incompetent paedophiles

Generally seemed clean, well presented, smart and modern. Very strange smell coming from the toilets though that stunk out the adjacent shop. Clean quick and nice Burger King with large nice seating area. Not the best, but I've seen far worse.

This website says LPG available but couldn't see it at BP, asked staff and they didn't know. Went to lorry services but still no LPG.

i bought a pouch of tobacco for later as i already had cigarettes but was running low, got home to find it was extemely dried out, there was no free papers in it and it had the outer packaging removed and been opened! yet they still sold it like that! now i have a 50mile drive for a refund of a fiver, not really worth it! will never buy from there again!

Our Driver called into this service area today and was given a Parking Charge Ticket. It clearly states that the first two hours are free parking and the ticket was timed 1545 to 1550. There was a Ticket attached to the paintwork of the Vehicle and not on the windscreen as should be on removal of the Ticket paint came away. Who is repsonsible for the respraying of the Door Panel. Where do the two hours free parking come in when the ticket is timed out in just 5 mins.

Left my coast in the dining area and tried to contact to enquire. No answer to telephone throught Tuesday afternoon. email address will not accept my communication. No alternatives. How do I reach them other than drive 50 miles?

The burgervan is ace the rest is overpriced rubbished served by numb nuts with bad atitude, and as stated elsewhere the toilets are filthy.

What a disgrace the Ladies toilets were on Saturday, 8th February. The smell was absolutely disgusting as I entered the area before the gadget staff. My husband tried to find someone to make a complaint but to no avail. I know cleaning toilets is not something people enjoy doing, but there is no point in having the facilities if they are not kept clean. Pooh on a toilet seat and a used Tampax on the floor were just two of the disgusting things I saw plus of course, the smell

went there in september, lovely modern facilities, coffee expensive

i hope these comments get passed on to the head office of the company that runs these disgusting over priced rat holes. like all services they just take the pee out of us public as we have to stop. i did a job for one of the managing directors for this company and charged him 4 time more than what it should of cost, so i got my sweet revenge.

very smelly toilets, nearly had a shower from the tap water, no peaceful area to relax, too many shops, i wanted a rest not to go shopping, way way over priced hence didn't spend any of my hard earned cash, shame theres not an M & S foodhall here to buy healthy snacks from like fresh mango, yum.

USED MY CREDIT CARD AND THEY DID NOT PUT THE RECEIPT THROUGH FOR NEARLY 2 MONTHS. SERVICE IN ALL THE SHOPS DISGUSTING. AVOID THE PLACE AT ALL COSTS

My sister stopped at S.Mimms services during very heavy traffic jams with her 6mnth old son, to discover that there was only 1 baby changing room with a huge queue. She ended up changing her son on a toilet cubicle floor! improvements are needed!

Credit card fraud - misuse of my debit card attributed to having bought petrol at SM Services M25. Watch for internet transactions on your account day after buying fuel, especially for expensive power tools. David Fraine the net is closing on you.

I have a particular complaint about road signs in the service area although South Mimms is not the exception. There are signs for lorries, buses,caravans etc. but no directions for cars.I ended up going round in circles until eventually finding the services mostly by luck.

tried to use the loo at the petrol atation to find it being rebuilt. To get back to the main d]services was a nightmare. Needed to go right out again and round the roundabout through all those traffic lights busting myself. Missed the cars entrance to the car park and ended up in the lorry park. Found my way out and eventually got onto the right road again. Desperately memorable experience for all the wrong reasons.

Forget the overpriced eat in services and visit the burger van near the exit of the parking area. Friendly service and extremely good prices compared to £3 a coffee and £5 for a bacon roll they offer in the services.

I found the Services clean and efficient and enjoyed watching the telly while recovering from a long journey.

thry have sold off thier caravan parking area to developers, the woman who told us this did not know where we could stop with a van on, the signs hvae not been changed to direct to ant other parking and we had to go around the carpark the wrong way to get out again thaks to her driectiond. stuupud woman.

M25? Shouldn't it be M25/A1(M) as it's on the roundabout that links the two?

on the 15/4/06 between 05.00&05.30 we called into south mimmes services to use the toilets and get a cup of coffe as we had woke the children up early we got them the children lunce boxes only to find the rolls inside where not buttered how can you expect a 16mth a child to eat dry roll or come mor to the point would you eat dry rolls this will be the last time we will use any services for food we will wait and find a roadside burger bar wich would be cheaper when you buy 5 children meals at a time plus i know think you get better service at roadside burger bars. i dont hold hope in any reply

These services are just so wrong. To get there means leaving the motorway and going round one of the busiest junctions on the M25. Motorway services that mean leaving the motorway are just bad.
