Shell

Be very careful of the Shell con / scam.... you will see the headline price for diesel,,,, but if you want Vmax its 30p more, thats nearly 20% more expensive.... luckily I noticed after £30, otherwise I would have paid £120 to fill up... so went elsewhere for the additional fuel.... how nice of Shell to con customers like this... probably time to sell my shares.

Ok. Bit pricey

Clean and tidy,great staff too

Fantastic service!

It's a petrol station with a small Wairtose attached.

I tried to put adblue in my car this morning using the hgv adblue pump. I was told by a lady cleaning the pumps that under no circumstances was I allowed to use this pump. Why is this? The reply from Shell was that indeed a passenger car is not supposed to use the adblue pumps. But I drove to the adblue pumps later in the day in the hgv area and put some adblue in my car! No problem. I paid in the usual way in the shop.

Typical Shell petrol station with a good sized shop.

Among THE best service station toilets I have come across. Very clean and smelt good. Really friendly helpful service from the Shell team. Saved to maps for future visits!

Chargers are out after a power cut . (12/01/25)

Very friendly staff always willing to help , good selection of food.

Hideously expensive fuel. ~15p a litre dearer than other services on the same A road!

Always clean and well presented 🎁

Ok

So just you know they won't allow you to use ad blue pump and force you to buy the stupid plastic containers and create unnecessary waste, unless you turn up in the lorry. I was in a van. Spoke to manger and she seems adamant this is company policy. So either no other shell stations are enforcing it, as we as a company with fleet of vans are using it all over the country, or the manager just made it up on the spot. Beware

I'm glad it now says Leicester rather than Thurcaston, though that is still a bit of a stretch

On 28.7.24 at 11.10am I went with my daughter to buy two items from the hot food counter inside the waitrose shop. The man working there studiously ignored us for a while with his back to us. Eventually he turned around and barked "it's self service!" at us and turned his back again. One of the items needed to be heated up, so obviously he needed to do that but as he wasnt interested, we went to pay as he made it clear he was not going to serve us himself. The polite young man on the garage till asked is we wanted it heated up and asked the older man to do so. He was blatantly put out that he should have to do this and again, turned his back on us and banged it into the oven. At no point did he smile or speak politely. This is a prime example of how not to provide customer service and left us with an appaling opinion of the services.
