I had occasion today to stop in at the M5 Gloucester Services (southbound) with the specific task of purchasing some local produce, since I'm originally from around those parts, and I usually stop there both north-and south-bound to support them.
No franchises, no Costa, Star$$$, KFC or McDonalds or the like. Just a local business providing top-quality products at not unreasonable prices.
Today was boar sausage rolls; pork pies [one with Stilton, one without], local tomatoes and a jar of local chutney all for £16.00 , which suited our meet-up of four of us (and yes, it was essential travel).
These particular services have people going to them specifically for their produce, so if passing, give them a go.

ps I think they also run the Tebay services on the M6 in the Lake District, but I've not visited those, so a "viewer report" would be welcome!
