Truck stops and greasy spoons.
Discussion
This thread topic is inevitable, it is a bit stereotypical but we all need to eat while we shuttle other folks tat about the land.
I am in far west cornwall so will kick off with a few food stops we use a lot and have found to be good.
Penzance, Sullivans cafe, right outside the Railway station next to the huge car park, does brekfasts and lunches, over night stops in the main carpark are possible so long as you get up and gone early.
St Erth, just outside of Hayle on the A30, Frankies Diner, an ex Unigate works canteen that was turned into a public cafe when Unigate packed up. It is good for luches and you can park artics outside.
Scorrier, A30, near Chiverton cross roundabout, It is a truck stop that has been goin for years, overnight parking in the rough yard and some over night facilities, good food.
We also stop off in Avonmouth Truckstop quite a lot, it is far enough away from home to be right about when we need to stop on a break plus the food is pretty good.
Cartgate, A303, the diner there was quite good but I think It has been removed or is being rebuilt at the moment, we have been running up the M4/5 recently so have not been up the 303 for a while.
If I think of any more I will post them up.

Smokey Joe's?Used to regularly head up there for a fry up whilst I was studenting down in Truro
if any of you have the misfortune to need to deliver to Penzance Docks with stuff for the Scilly Isles then I can recommend the Harbour Café, it is right on the docks next to the dry dock (on the other side of the road) It has been taken over by new people who a great, food is good, priced well and place is clean.
Park up on the opposite side of the road a bit further down the road next to the big warehouse, it is double lined but you get left alone as it is the only place to pull in to wait to be let on the quayside to unload.
