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.
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 new pay at pump option meant fuel was now available 24 hours a day.
