We opted for the Bed & Breakfast package as that worked out more beneficial for us with the hotel, due to the package being a buffet service. Breakfast was lovely & there is something for everyone (eggs, beans, bacon-veg & pork, sausages, toast, cereal, oats, greek yoghurt, fruits) the list is endless. The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm & not too busy. Nothing was too much & the selections of tea's, coffee's & juices went down a treat too.
I say that with a large tongue in my cheek as I actually like the Riverside Truckstop. It throws back to an original 1970s cafe, I guess that the only real thing that's changed are the newer vehicles in the truck park. Without too many other options in the area, It's handy for west London and just a mile or so from Heathrow airport and M25/M4 junction. Turning into this facility you're met with a parking area rougher than the Bay of Biscay in a force 10 gale but when I've visited there has always been plenty of parking space. The current overnight parking charge is £15 with a £3 voucher towards an evening meal. Guys, just a short stroll away is a gentlemans club so you're also guaranteed to get lucky if you're overnighting ..... and if you can afford it ..... Ladies, well there's always the other truckers!! I have always been lucky enough to be served by the same member of staff, a mature lady who clearly works very hard and runs a tight ship but one thing that you're guaranteed is 'service without a smile'. When she is not serving she is clearing & wiping down tables. Even considering the state of the car park, the floor inside is kept incredibly clean. In fact everything is clean, the servery, the kitchen, the toilets. The staff here care and it shows. Having plenty of time to spare to sit and people watch I did start to notice a couple of issues and I have noticed this on a few visits now which should be addressed and are easily addressed. Considering cross contamination, one of the members of staff does spend a bit of time wiping their nose, coughing and spluttering, blowing their nose, handling coins and then moving food on customers plates with their bare fingers to make room to accommodate other breakfast items. Plates are often only partly served, by this I mean the plate is brought close to the customer but rather than place the food down on the table the customer has to either partly get out of their chair and reach out or turn around awkwardly to take the
The food is fresh and cooked on the premises by friendly staff. Lots of variety to choose from with daily specials. Breakfast number 2 and a cup of tea is my favourite. Plenty of parking space and an easy location to get to. Even if this was not the case I'd still go there because the food is excellent.
Don't just think of this place as a transport cafe! Located close to Heathrow on the A4 - Colnbrook By-pass - about 10 minutes from the entrance to central Heathrow and about 5 minutes from Terminal 5. Food is freshly cooked by friendly staff. Food quality is excellent. Cafe is spotlessly clean (including the food preparation areas). Full meals costs GBP 4-6. Tea and coffee are less than GBP 1 (Try getting those prices in any Heathrow terminal)! Car park has mud and pot holes BUT private cars park within 10 metres of the cafe entrance. It is an excellent place to eat either before/after dropping someone or before/after meeting someone at Heathrow. No need to pay expensive restaurant prices at Heathrow whilst at the same time rakking high car park charges at Heathrow Car Parks! Car park at the cafe is FREE.
