Costa Coffee at UK motorway services

Costa Coffee is the dominant coffee brand at UK motorway services. It has a particularly strong presence at Roadchef, where it is the preferred coffee partner, and appears at Welcome Break, Moto and Extra sites as well. Some named locations: Strensham Services on the M5 (Roadchef) has a full Costa and sits at junctions 8 and 9 on the southbound and northbound sides, making it one of the more complete stops on the M5 corridor. Sandbach Services on the M6 (Roadchef, junctions 17 and 18) has Costa and is a standard stop between the Midlands and the northwest, serving both truck drivers and car travellers. Beaconsfield Services on the M40 (Extra, junction 2) has Costa and sits just north of the M25 junction, catching traffic from both motorways. Drive-thru Costa formats are available at select sites and are noted separately below.

Costa Coffee drive-thru at motorway services

Costa drive-thru is a growing format at UK motorway services. Rather than parking and going inside, a drive-thru lane allows you to order and collect from the car, which suits drivers who want to minimise stop time or prefer not to leave the vehicle. Not all service area Costa outlets have a drive-thru; many are conventional indoor cafes inside the main services building. Where a drive-thru is present it is typically in a separate building or pod adjacent to the fuel forecourt. The Costa store finder on the Costa UK website shows which locations include drive-thru facilities.

EV charging and Costa Coffee at the same stop

Several service areas combine Costa Coffee with rapid EV charging, making it straightforward to charge while picking up a coffee and food on a longer journey. Roadchef sites are served by an expanding EV charging network operated with GRIDSERVE, including high-power Electric Super Hubs at several locations. Strensham on the M5 and Sandbach on the M6 are examples of Roadchef sites where Costa and ultra-rapid GRIDSERVE charging are available at the same stop. Beaconsfield on the M40 (Extra) similarly combines Costa and EV charging provision. Confirming current charger speed and availability via Zap-Map or the relevant network's own map is advisable, as installations are updated over time.

The Costa UK store finder shows which individual locations have drive-thru capability. Drive-thru Costas tend to be in a separate building or pod near the fuel forecourt rather than inside the main services building.
Can I charge my EV at a service area with Costa Coffee?

Beaconsfield on the M40 (Extra) also has Costa and EV charging. Charger speeds vary by site; check Zap-Map or the relevant network's site map for current availability and power levels at a specific location.
Is Costa at motorway services open 24 hours?
Many Costa outlets at motorway service areas keep extended hours in line with the service area itself. However, not all sites are open 24 hours, and Costa hours can be shorter than the overall site hours at some locations. The Costa store finder or the individual service area operator's website gives confirmed hours for specific sites.
