The hotel is preparing for one of the most important commercial nights of the year: Valentine's. Head Chef James has come up with a whole new menu to try to tempt the M6 motorists and locals through the door and get the tills ringing, but first he needs to convince owners Chris and Dawn it tastes good, or it's all going in the bin.
Motorway Hotel regular Greg, the local motorway breakdown rescue driver, struggles to get a lane closed to recover an elderly couple from the side of the M6 as traffic flies past him at 70mph. Meanwhile, in the hotel bar, can the staff invent a new Valentine's cocktail that meets with drinks boss Becky's approval to go on the menu for the big night? Barman Marcus is up for the challenge.
Motorway bridge repair man Lou pops into the restaurant for bangers and mash before heading out to perform vital repairs on the M6 – can he finish before daybreak and keep the traffic flowing?
