Extremely conveniently located a short distance off the M1, not nearly as busy as the chargers at the service station a short distance away. Plugged in and connected without problems, got 100 kW charging speed out of a possible 130 that my car could accept, but it was delivered continuously without drop offs. Definitely recommended.

Good chargers. Not cheap! No loos when the garden centre next door is closed. (There’s field opposite for the fellas but the ladies will be in trouble out of hours!)

Easy to get to and just 5 minutes from the M1. There was only 3 chargers in use so I was straight into a charging bay. As it was the 1st time I had used ospray I needed to download the app, which was easy to do from the Google app store. Plugged in. Pressed start charging on the app (after setting up an account) and bobs your uncle it worked.

Claimed 300kw 800v superfast charging. Highest I saw was 70kw before it then dropped and sat at 35kw, plus I was the only one there. Still paying the premium price though, which is not displayed. Puts an initial £45 charge onto your account when you pay contactless.
