Welcome Break runs more than 60 service areas across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including 32 motorway services and a number of A-road stops. It is controlled by the Irish company Applegreen, with infrastructure investor Arjun as a minority shareholder.
Fuel at most Welcome Break services is sold under the Welcome Break name, and some sell Applegreen-branded fuel. As at most motorway services, fuel is usually dearer than in nearby towns. Since July 2026 every Welcome Break motorway site promises hot food until at least midnight and coffee from 5am, with brands such as KFC, Burger King, Starbucks, Waitrose and Pret.
Almost every Welcome Break site has EV charging, from Applegreen Electric, GRIDSERVE, Tesla or InstaVolt, with speeds that vary by site.
