Woodall was also one of the few service stations to have a Burger King, KFC and a McDonald's. The Northbound side had a McDonald's (open 24 hours), which closed in March 2020, and has a KFC, with the Southbound side having a Burger King and a KFC. Both sides of the service station are linked by footbridge. The services are very close to the Derbyshire border but it actually lies in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham.

Woodall was one of two Welcome Break services which had a McDonald's; the other one was Fleet on the M3 in Hampshire.

This service area has proven to be very popular with coaches heading north and south because of the coach hosts there.

The MSA is accessible from both the Northbound and Southbound carriageways.

The MSA has murals by David Fisher in the 1990s, designed to reflect the local area and history.
