M1 Services: First look inside £40m facility at J33 featuring Starbucks, Burger King, Pret, Waitrose and KFC

A £40m service station has opened at the end of Sheffield Parkway for weary motorway travellers and the odd commuter.

Welcome Break Rotherham is on both sides of the M1 at Junction 33 and features big brands including a Starbucks drive-thru, KFC, Burger King, Pret-a-Manger, Waitrose, Chopstix and WHSmith.

Some 230 jobs have been created. Welcome Break says it is its 60th site in the UK.

After being delayed by a week due to snow, the doors finally opened a minute after midnight on Friday, January 17.

After it got light, Star photographer Dean Atkins popped down for a look and this gallery shows the glitzy new facility in all its glory.
