Roadchef UK store locations
What Roadchef is
Roadchef is the UK's third-largest motorway service area operator, running 31 sites on the motorway and major A-road network with fuel, a multi-brand food-to-go and retail concession mix, EV charging and Days Inn/Super 8 by Wyndham hotel accommodation.
Price tier: Value
Ownership: Owned by Macquarie Asset Management (via Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 6, through MEIF 6 Range Holdings Limited), which acquired Roadchef from Antin Infrastructure Partners in 2022 for approximately £900 million. No franchise model exists for the Roadchef site-operator brand itself; concession tenants (McDonald's, Costa Coffee, WHSmith, Pret A Manger, LEON, Chaiiwala, Co-op) and the Days Inn/Super 8 by Wyndham hotels operate under their own separate licences.
Formats: Full motorway service areas (fuel, multi-brand food-to-go, retail and parking) across 31 sites on the UK's motorway and major A-road network, 17 with an on-site Days Inn or Super 8 by Wyndham hotel and 12 with a Roadchef-operated BP forecourt; a new flagship site at Catterick (A1(M) Junction 52) is in planning.
Growth: A £300 million, five-year investment programme announced in 2026 alongside 75-year lease extensions on five sites, concentrated on EV-charging infrastructure (a new bp Pulse partnership targeting 1,000 charging bays by 2030) and HGV-driver facility upgrades.
