Strensham services is a motorway service station on the M5 in Worcestershire, England. It is operated by Roadchef.
Unusually for a motorway service station, the two sites are about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) apart due to the proximity of junction 8 (for the M50 motorway). The services opened with the motorway in 1962 and have undergone many developments over time, largely due to the evolution of the motorway, which at the time of its opening ran from Birmingham to Strensham but now runs to Exeter about 120 miles (190 km) southwards. It was the first service station on the M5. The service station is also an operational base for the Midlands Air Ambulance.
