Trivia and History
The service area was built in the 1960s as a local facility for the village. Although it became signposted as an official service area, it was effectively an MOT centre that sold fuel, with limited facilities that would close completely in the early evening. It was known as Ponton Main services.
The fuel brand changed from Texaco to Harvest Energy in 2011.
The site closed in June 2020 for conversion to Certas Energy's partner brand Gulf, reopening in October 2020. The site became pay at pump only at this point, meaning fuel was now available 24 hours a day but no shop was available. A new Premier store then opened in April 2023, reintroducing the shop facility but pay at pump remains the only payment method for fuel. The site is now named 'Great Ponton'.
