Birmingham Truck Stop Transport Cafe Lorry Park is located a little way off the A45 running into Birmingham from the NEC (National Exhibition Centre) and Birmingham Airport.The owner (I assume) has complained that my comments were unfair. As facilities may have been changed, I have removed my comments.
The plus side is the food I am told, nothing wrong there and I have heard this before from other drivers,,, Lorry Parks and transport cafes are rare things in and near cities.
This is about 20 minutes from Birmingham Airport and or the NEC.
Hours Cafe are 6am till 9pm Monday Friday
Lorry Park Truck Stop 7 days £5 per night
Phone 01216 282 339
Bar and B&B facilities available. .
Sat Nav and GPS the postcode is B11-2EB
Directions.
Follow the A45 inwards to Birmingham centre from Airport area
Take the A4040 left turn (Acocks Green posted)
Follow Lorry Park Signs,, slowly,, as the route is posted but not intelligently as it could be
The final turn in is VAGUE on your first visit, so watch for it
Also it requires the driver to centre the vehicle for the right turn on an area where it is marked for oncoming traffic to turn across your front,, what’s new, who worries about a 44 ton vehicle unless something goes wrong, so easy does it.
The Lorry park has a gatekeeper so you can arrive at any time, day or night.
Below are some photos, you can see the entrance past the gatekeeper, after you have driven down this longish alley type road between buildings. The cafe is down a sort of alley, see photo, and up some stairs, no signs inside.
