Esso

We stopped at this location on our way to Cornwall last Saturday (1st July). The shop seemed well stocked with several items which we needed, and also delicious Starbucks coffee. The surprise came when we were greeted at the counter by what seemed to be a 6-8 year old girl! Although her service was lovely and cheerful, it came from a very clearly young child.Personally nor me or my husband thought it was appropriate for a young child to be working behind a counter surrounded by various vaping products, or to be using a cash till with money in it. I also assume as a petrol station cigarettes were also within the vicinity of the serving counter. I was quite surprised that this was supported by the two adults stood behind her. I am unsure whether the company operates a ‘bring your child to work’ scheme, or whether childcare was an issue here, but I certainly don’t think child labour is allowed within this, or any UK business.I hope this situation is addressed soon, as we drove away with great concerns for the security and wellbeing of this location, its next customers, and particularly the child working behind the counter. I expect we were not the only consumers concerned regarding the clear child exploitation occurring at this site.

I appreciate ppl are entitled to breaks but not every single night I try to get petrol after a long hard day at work I don't ever get petrol again due to it Im not waiting every single night 20 mins due to it now and again yh I totally get it but not every night I get the sense sometimes it's on purposesorry but youve lost my custom due to it

This mini services alongside the A303 is a useful place to stop for a break and to top up with essentials at all hours of the day and night. Whilst everything may be expensive including the fuel itself, it is there when you need it 24/7 and there are relatively few stopping places where can easily pull in at along this journey from the SE to SW. Recommened overall to stop at.

Fairly poor, toilets could do with some love. Unless you need the loo, there is a much cheaper layby cafe just a half mile further on.

Very bad experience, when we visited and spent a fortune on petrol unfortunately we (whole family) weren't able to use the toilet, as like we were told the toilet was broken, there was a sign, but not very visible as the entrance to the shop is very cluttered plus rude staff. If we knew there was a problem with the toilet we wouldn't have stopped there.

Really friendly and helpful chap in the shop - he gets the four stars.Not accepting UKFuels cards gets you NO STARS!!

Toilets pretty poor and round the back. No sign of any accessible toilets. Ones in Starbucks closed, even for customers so everyone sent to the petrol station ones.

Friendly, easy to get to, cheap. 2 Starbucks machines in the back, better than going into the actual starbucks.Slightly confusing layout but overall a good service station.
