Esso

Standard garage, however can post Yodel here without a label which is great.Also acts as a parcel collection point to. Very handy.

Good little local petrol station,one of the few independent ones left

Went to use the air and fill up the car with petrol. I missed the sign that said the minimum price for air was £1 and had only put in 50p. Went inside to say it wasn't starting he told me it was a £1 and to put another 50p in. Too much of a gap between the first 50p and the second so the machine ate the first 50 p. Machine still not working and had no more money. The young man ( always on his mobile) said it was all my fault even though he had told je to put in the 2nd 50p. He was rude and unhelpful. Luckily a motorcyclist then used it and let me have what was left of his air. Though the attendant tried to stop him doing that. I then did not fill up my car with £80 worth of fuel and Went elsewhere. I will never go to that petrol station again. I don't care about the pound, I care about the complete lack of service.

The person behind the counter is pretending he cannot talk any English and only ever replying to any question I asked of him regarding my problem with the one word which is “sorry”.Answering sorry after every question. Is not funny and doesn’t help me resolve my issue.

I would have given more stars If only the attendant would have been slightly more cheerful.I used my Esso app for the first time, and it works brilliantly.

Convenient fuel station in Southbourne. Service is quick. Never had a problem when visiting. Shop sells convenience goods if needed. Door is always a pain, but not inconvenient.

Be careful and always check the terminal screen whether the amount is correct when paying by card. I bought 3 for £5 items only to find out later I was charged £8. Dishonest and scammy shop keeper.

It's functional, you have petrol and diesel. There's a carwash and it has a convenience store too.
