A pub chain has been accused of putting "profits before sense" after opening a new outlet at a motorway service station.

The move sends motorists "all the wrong signals", an alcohol charity has warned.

Alcohol Concern said the new JD Wetherspoon pub on the M40 was a "backwards step".

The Hope And Champion will be open from 4am to 1am, seven days a week, in the Extra Motorway Service Area at junction 2 of the M40 in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.

Yeah, but they can't serve alcohol until after 9am.


Oh, hang on...

Seems crazy that got approval to operate!

At Wetherspoons sirloin steaks + bottle of Shiraz can cost £13.99 for two - but you do not have to consume on the premises; since they are Registered Off Licences you can take any alcohol, (in a bottle), away with you. The driver does not have to consume any wine.......

Of course the temptation is still there, (as exceeding the speed limit is), and therein lies the, possible problem

The press will have a field day should there be a vehicle accident in the area.

also, I wonder how many stop and search will be done by the police on the slip road just before vehicles leave the service station

I like the prices, wonder if they will open one on our motorway!

What, and confiscate the remains of the bottle
