I visited Risby Truckstop restaurant today. The place is impeccably clean, with clean shower facilities. The shower heads need replacing as they shoot out a spurt of water to the shower door. The restaurant was clean with a friendly staff member. The quality of the food was not good however and was overpriced. Nearly £10 for a breakfast in a place serving truckers means that a driver could be spending £50 on breakfasts alone during the week. My meal was a full English breakfast. The beans and tomatoes arrived stone cold suggesting they used a microwave to heat them up, a quick blast in a microwave will give the illusion that they are piping hot, yet after a few minutes they turn stone cold....
Stopped over night in the truck park and had a meal in the restaurant. Truck park is ok, next to the A14 so you get a little traffic noise but not so much as to disturb you, also the ground is just a dirt piece of land so as it was a dry day it was very dusty. Had to keep doors and windows shut which wasn't ideal as it was a warm night and could have done with them being open. On a wet day you'd struggle to keep the mud off your boots and out of the cab. No win situation really. Had the roast beef dinner and a cup of tea which was reasonably priced. The dinner was really nice and a very good plate full, well worth the money. Would stop here again if only for the dinner. Shame about the parki...
We were looking for somewhere to stop for breakfast on our way back from holiday. It is a little way off the A14 but well signposted so easy enough to find. I will be honest and say I did not expect much but I am happy to say I was so wrong. 10 tables at most and spotlessly clean. We were warmly greeted and chose from the breakfast menu. Not a long wait until breakfast arrived, well cooked and huge portions. Extremely good value for money too. So if you are in the area give them a try.
Hours of service depends on the mood of the staff. Absolute dust bowl when it's dry and a mud pit when wet. The facilities are very old could use a disinfectant. Cannot comment on the food as the three times I've been here the food is either almost all done or the kitchen is closed. Dodgy spot........use a lay-bye instead.

Just had a lovely breakfast with 5 of my colleagues. The food came hot and was all very nice. My only criticism is the size of the large breakfast and the price. But all in all very nice. Thankyou!
Another fine effort . The photo shows exactly how it looked on arrival at my table . I asked if they had dropped some , was told that's all they have left ... not bad after a 15 hr shift
I reviewed this as Coopers Cabin but looks the same place. I had great food, two ladies working efficiently and the food was excellent, hot and out quickly.

Breakfast absolutely rubbish full stop ! . 80 beans one tiny sausage check the photo . Disappointing effort from a long established truck stop
Massive portion of tasty homemade lasagna, chips and salad for £6.95. Could have fed two people really.
