It's always clean and it has both the best uptime and best pricing, of any petrol station in the nearby areas that I have seen, in the last 15 years.
The staff who attend it when required (rare), are friendly and fairly quick.
The kerbed areas are to protect the fuel dispenser pumps and the entry and exit areas are all designed very well with big wide openings, to avoid those unnecessary scrapes when you accidentally hit a corner kerb and swear at the planner/designer. I've used this place many times over the years, and never once had a scrape on the entry or exit. The pumps kerbs I think I scraped a bit once, because I wasn't careful enough; but this was my fault and I am more cautious when positioning near a pump now (as one rightly should!).
Other notable features here:
Big spacious area, out of the way, to check your tyre pressures. There is one of the usual machines provided, which costs a pound I think. I'm not a fan of those machines myself, but I guess it's a necessary evil these days, to have a pump which looks after itself. I usually have my own pump which I feel is more accurate (and free to use of course), but it's nice to have the option. There is ample space usually, to check your own car tyres or whatever, without getting in the way of someone using the provided tyre pump. Over the years; I've found it invaluable. Utility spaces like this are a rarity in the modern world, where space is usually controlled by the bean counters. The space is also invaluable for ease of movement for tankers who are attending for site refill or refueling.
Unfortunately there is no help available if you run into trouble. There is not even a helpline. For example if card not working or if you spill the fuel as it did not stop automatically.
Fuel prices are dearer than some branded stations
