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...
Stopped overnight in the lorry parking area, it's a cross between a dust bowl and a quagmire, the restaurant staff are friendly and welcoming. Food was standard truck stop fair which is rather pricey. If you stop overnight you will get free tea/coffee refills all night. Wash rooms need upgrading as they are rather dated, shower cubicles were clean apart from the mildew on the ceiling and the shower push button that fell off the wall. Would I stop again, only if I had nowhere else to stay.
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.

I would give this place a perfect 10 out of 10. The staff is friendly and always accommodating to our large group. We were pleasantly surprised to find that prices have decreased recently, and the portion sizes are very generous. Our last visit was on 23/07/2015 for breakfast.
We stopped at this restaurant for lunch and were impressed by the great menu and delicious food. It's a must-stop for a drink and meal. The friendly staff made our visit even more enjoyable. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.
This restaurant is a classic truck stop with a wide variety of menu options. It is exceptionally clean with a staff that is polite and friendly. The home cooked food is delicious and well presented. Everyone is welcomed warmly, not just truckers.
Popped in here on a drive to Norfolk. Had a full English which was nice and non greasy unlike most! Good quality sausage and bacon etc, nice coffee, smiley service and not bad value for money.

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.
Massive portion of tasty homemade lasagna, chips and salad for £6.95. Could have fed two people really.
