History[]
The Little Chef at Little Bentley opened in about 1973, in a typical Little Chef building of the era. The site was built on one side of the A133, with access available to both carriageways via a ghost island junction.
It closed in 2005, and was soon refurbished and reopened as the PAS Trade Centre. In 2014, the trade centre was replaced by the Pit Stop, an MOT centre.
There is a petrol station on the opposite side of the carriageway. It was until recently a Shell, but is now owned and operated by Applegreen.
