I'm looking for somewhere to have an informal business meeting close to J24 of the M1 (they are coming down the A50 from Stoke area and carrying on to London afterwards).

Ideally a nice hotel such as a Post House or Hilton just off the M1 with a bar/lounge area where you can grab a sandwich and sit and talk.

There is Donington services but they are not particularly ideal. Any ideas gratefully received smile

Al, there is a Hilton at the end of the A50 just before you meet the M1 at J24...

You could always try this place too - A lot more character than the Hilton and a very nice location!

Why don't you go to the Coopers Arms just off the A50 at Aston on Trent? Waaaay better than any chain and the most splendid grub?

Thanks guys but all arrangements have been emailed off. The Hilton is probably ideal for a business meeting and the Piano Bar looks ok smile

Thanks again.
