The owners of Welshpool’s service station initially envisioned an Italian roadhouse, but spotting a gap in the market set them on a bolder path. Identifying a hunger for Indian, Chinese and Mexican flavours, they transformed the site into a multi-cuisine destination. It’s a literal “fuel stop” where you can fill the tank and follow it with a fragrant goat masala, a steaming plate of egg fried rice or a chicken-filled quesadilla.

A catastrophic flood on Boxing Day 2023 delayed their debut, but cemented their place in the community, which rallied to help them rebuild. They are now repaying that loyalty by tailoring the menu to local requests – offering everything from hearty plant-based burgers for seasonal workers to a classic chicken parma featuring a house-made tomato sauce.
