Got to thank Dave, very strange fault on our Leon Cupra no throttle but Dave done everything and never gave up even when he had been through everything, anyone else would’ve given up on it but he didn’t! It took time but he got there, a true star! We can’t thank him enough!

Handy grocery store and newsstand with indoors ATM(free to use) and off-licence, open early until late! Attached car showroom sometimes features a splendid veteran Oldsmobile!

If you're going to insist on customers wearing masks (which is absolutely right) your staff need to be wearing theirs properly, not under their noses or just wearing useless faceshields.

Get your petrol anywhere but here. Even if your running on empty. I don't know if the staff were having a bad day, but they are constantly bloody miserable! Moody bunch, would it kill you to have a little smile.

Service station and Spar, good place to fill up and maybe catch up with the shopping or get some snacks for your journey. Nice friendly helpful staff. No public toilets though.
