Orwell Crossing - Ipswich

Nice friendly service with great food clean facilities with good parking

This truck stop is one of the few that gave a fantastic service throughout the entire lockdown period and beyond. They did their best to keep us truckers fed and comfortable to the point of the cafe nearly going broke in the process. The showers are always clean and rarely do you have to wait to get one. However the £6 charge for just a shower is a bit extortionate especially as you are actually paying the parking company the money for 3 hours parking, the seems a bit odd as surely the cost of the water, heating and cleaning cost are covered by the truckstop not the parking company. As like many other truckstops it is looking a little tired with the parking area littered with misplaced railway sleepers and rubbish. On the whole it is reasonably priced and ideally located for Felixstowe port. The food is good and priced at about £8.00 for a decent freshly cooked meal.

Very good showers with a lot of space. sliding doors over the shower so whole cubic is not wet. adjustable heat and very good pressure. not the kindest or most helpful watchmanship I have here. good hard standing to the parking lot. cannot comment on other facilities, as the caffe has been closed.

Clean pleasant showers... Food good but large servings.... Great for big eaters but not a lot for smaller appetites.

Great overnighter for the Trucker out/in of Felixstowe Port. It was relatively late and the bloke there found me a nice spot for my long trailer combination. Only downside was the 'mess ' in the loos, obviously put there, behind the door to antagonise the owners. Why people do this??? No idea. Otherwise a very good facility and will be on my route lists in future.
