The opening will increase on-the-go dining choices for travellers on the M5.
Roadchef, one of the country’s leading Motorway Service Area (MSA) operators, is opening a new LEON outlet at its Sedgemoor Southbound site on the M5. As Roadchef continues its expansion across the country, this is the second opening in Somerset for LEON and its most westerly location in the UK.
The outlet is located on the M5 Southbound between J21 and J22 and will offer a quick, convenient yet healthy food-on-the-go option for travellers stopping for a rest at the site. Offering all the typical LEON menu favourites, the restaurant will boast several self-order kiosks, enabling time-pressed road users to reduce queuing and wait time within the service area.
Commenting on the opening, Howard Lockwood, Catering & Brand Development Director at Roadchef, said: “We are thrilled to welcome a LEON outlet to Sedgemoor Southbound. LEON’s focus on healthy and delicious food aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing travellers with a wide range of quality food options.”
“LEON’s reputation for tasty and nutritious meals will be a major draw for travellers seeking satisfying on-the-go dining options. This partnership reflects the changing tastes of consumers and highlights Roadchef’s commitment to cater to those evolving preferences.”
This new opening marks a continuation of an ongoing partnership, which has seen Roadchef open eleven outlets at their locations since 2018, following the MSA operator opening their first LEON in Wales at Roadchef Magor in 2023.
In addition to LEON, Roadchef Sedgemoor Southbound offers various services to make journeys more convenient and enjoyable. Travellers can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi for the first two hours, ample free parking, and access to some of the UK’s most popular retailers. Additionally, Roadchef has upgraded all their EV chargers to 50kW with contactless payment, powered by 100% renewable energy, making it easier than ever for eco-conscious travellers to recharge their vehicles.
