It is situated on two bases at each side of the motorway, and was opened in early 1996 as the second of four service stations which serve the M40. Throughout 2007 the northbound Days Inn hotel was closed as the ground floor had completely flooded, although it has since reopened.[2]

Until recently they had to be signed as 'Welcome Break Coffee Primo' as they only recently gained a KFC outlet. The southbound services were one of the first to gain a KFC facility.
