M6 between J3 and J3a


Waitrose is a good place to by lunch to take to the NEC if you forgot to pack a packed lunch, still a bit pricey but you will save a fortune on the NEC prices for a Sandwich.

This is also home of the first Motorway a Starbucks Coffee facility here in the UK.
Oening on the 12th May 2006 a Starbucks Coffee facility

As part of a joint move between Warwickshire Police and Welcome Break, Corley was the first (and one of the only) services to have a permanent Police Community Support Officer.


 We had a small coffee in Eat In, (small cups like a bucket) we only had coffee as the budget would not stretch any further not much change out of £10 It is my opinion the coffee here is better than the coffee served at Starbucks.

If you want KFC heading towards Birmingham you will need to cross the footbridge.

This side (West side) has Waitrose, Starbucks, Eat In, phonebiz and W H Smith.

and a Days Inn Hotel

Welcome Break Footbridge over  the M6 motorway.
