About The Stop - Hollies Truckstop Café

Set right on the A5 (Watling Street) as it runs through Cannock, The Stop - Hollies Truckstop Café is built for people on the move, with the Staffordshire countryside of Cannock Chase spreading out just beyond the roadside. It's a practical stopover rather than a destination in itself, with chargeable on-site parking making it an easy option for anyone breaking up a long drive.

There are 15 simple en-suite rooms aimed at adults only, each with drinks available and nothing more elaborate than what a traveller actually needs. The café-restaurant serves hearty meals and kids' menus for those passing through during the day, while a bar, snack bar and games room give overnight guests somewhere to unwind. Breakfast is included, free WiFi covers the property, and there's a picnic area and outdoor seating for warmer weather, plus a laundry service for anyone on a longer trip.

Beyond the car park, the surrounding area has pubs, restaurants and entertainment within reach, and Cannock Chase offers fishing and watersports nearby for those willing to detour off the A5. It's a straightforward, functional stop rather than a countryside retreat, best suited to travellers who want a bed, a meal and an early start.
