After Strike has finished interviewing Daniel Chard at his Devon home, he insists that he and Robin stop for lunch at the Burger King at Tiverton Services before driving back to London (Ch 30).

Robin queues for their burgers as Strike cannot carry a tray as he is using his crutches.

Tiverton Services can be found at Junction 27 of the M5, here:
