Picnic area or cafe near M5 Somerset

Going on a family holiday next week with the two youngest grandsons to Cornwall and need to stop off somewhere on route on the M5 somewhere between Bristol and Exeter that isn't a motorway services?

Any suggestions?

I've stopped at Weston super Mare before now for a picnic on the front; it's a bit extra on the journey though. Burnham might be a better option.

If the weather's fine and you just want a field with a view to have lunch in, then you could do worse than here: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9569821,-3.1840104,3a,75y,208.34h,85.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgKNXveQRWj5h8Rf-71QErg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656.

There's always some ideas on this website https://www.justoffjunction.co.uk/

But what specifically are you looking for? (eg space for the kids to run around, activities for the kids, food etc)

Excellent book and site just for these sort of occasions

Yes all the above to feed and change a 2&3 year old on a 4.5 hr journey.

We can't get into the accommodation until 5pm due to covid cleaning so we're planning on stopping about halfway for a break which from Rugby would be between Bristol and Exeter.

Thanks to all the suggestions ,will look through

Maybe something on here..
