Trivia:

Grantham used to be built on the A1 southbound, with a roundabout to the north allowing northbound traffic to access it and a loop road back to the roundabout allowing them to get back. The Highways Agency are currently bringing the A1 to the west of this interchange, with the old road becoming the southbound sliproads and a new bridge being constructed for northbound traffic.

The Little Chef here was recently converted to a Costa Coffee.

Survey results:

In 2006 the services won a five star loo award.

Originally a Welcome Break, but was kept by Granada after they took over Forte and were forced to sell Welcome break, along with Sutton Scotney, Oxford Peartree and Pease Pottage
