Great shop, big forecourt. Handy cash fed hoover and jet wash. Star off because the drive through car wash only works by card and it wouldn't work when I tried it. read more

Go
Welcome to the future! Forget queueing up at the pumps or the cash registers to pay for your fuel,…read morejust go to Go! If you haven't been to one of these garages yet you're missing a trick! The fuel is as cheap as any of the other garages out there and you can be in and out in 5 minutes, plus it's 24 hour! The reason I used this service was because the other garage I go to was closed as it was after 11pm. The self service machines are easy to operate and while you're filling up your car the touch screen monitor plays a video explaining where your fuel was sourced from and how it got to you. I actually found this interesting - turns out Go provide the fuel for all of norther Ireland's buses and train so it must be good. There's loads of pumps so you won't have to wait and as previously stated the fuel is exactly the same price as the high street rivals (Tesco's, Asda etc). I can't think of a reason not to give Go five stars!
Grand Parade Filling Station

It is definitely not the nicest or stock the best food or groceries, or even offer the best services. But if you lived in east Belfast I cant think of a filling station that is better value. You'll find it has most of the goodies, drinks, household items and magazines that you would expect it to have. In the past they have had a couple of thefts in the shop from some youths with nothing better to do and at the counter where you pay they have some pictures taken form CCTV footage of youths stealing. I used to enjoy jokingly enquiring every week how the investigation was progressing!!! At the end of the day, most of us need petrol. For me I like to pay as little as I can when i fill up.

It was en route to work at the time and seemed to have the best prices. A couple of years down the line it still has the best fuel prices and remains very busy. Likewise shop part is unchanging, just a limited selection of food and household items. You can always get a pint of milk in this one, but most certainly not anything healthy like fresh fruit or vegetables, but really, that's fair enough for a filling station first and foremost.

Fresh made stew, lasagne, pasta bakes you name it they have it all very cheap. My personal favourite is the hot chicken baguette a large sub filled with sliced southern fried Chicken breast and all the salad that will fit in only £3.50 and prepared in front of you fresh. Also worth mentioning is the coffee from the machine inside is decent, freshly ground beans and only £1.50. The ideal spot for a quick cheap lunch on the road.

You can choose from Greggs bakery, The farmers market, Chopstix, Burger King, Subway or Lavazza. I recently ate at Chopstix and found the dishes were pretty soggy with congealed sauce around the honey pepper chicken I ordered. I definitely wouldn't eat from it again in a hurry. I went upstairs to Lavazza and had a coffee after and this was much better. Lavazza has a really strong unique roast which always hits the spot when running low on energy. This Applegreen has some nice picnic tables outside and a mini kids play area. Theres also a large parking area for lorries and larger transportation.

A busy little service station in Kingsway, Dunmurry, just down from Black's Road. Like most petrol…read morestations these days, it has a small Spar convenience store/mini-mart there. The shop itself is busy enough, considering it's right beside Tesco (see my Tesco Dunmurry review). Some people probably can't be bothered parking around the back of Tesco if they've only to get one or two items, and probably just take a run in here. It's also on the left hand side if you're travelling from Belfast to Lisburn, so I think it gets quite busy after 5p.m. with commuters on their way home. Apart from petrol, the main attraction of these garages is that they almost all have ATMs, which is very convenient. This feature alone ensures that these garages all do well.

Beersbridge Road Filling Station? Huh? I just called it "that there Topaz petrol station on the…read moreBeersbridge Road" which is really much more of an effort, but hey. Topaz would probably suffice, seeing as it's the only one I know of out this side of Belfast, and is therefore already slightly unique when it comes to the world of petrol stations... I once paid a visit to Topaz (as it will henceforth be known), not for petrol, but because I had to do an errand for my boss. When she initially told me to go up to the Beersbridge Road Post Office, I was ever so slightly confused. "Where's that?", asked I, thinking I'd never come across it before. "Aww, sure it's up in the petrol station!", came the reply, to which I swiftly retorted, "Behind it? Or do you mean actually in the petrol station?!" Well, the latter it was. How strange. A petrol station-cum-post-office. Hadn't come across one of them before. The staff were darn lovely too, but unfortunately I had to go elsewhere to do my errand, as it turned out they didn't do what I needed them to. Oopsies. Very handy little place though...
Beersbridge Road Filling Station is an entirely functional place with two main purposes, first, to…read moreget fuel - it's my usual fill up stop heading out of Belfast as there's not much else convenient before Ballymena. Then there's the post office inside which I often use. It covers most needs apart from renewing car tax discs. The most noteworthy occurrence was that the lady behind the counter gave me a hand to stick on stamps when I was in the midst of a monster mail out. That's full marks to the staff, who are consistently helpful. The Bank of Ireland cashpoint inside is another handy thing which has appeared since the branch closed down on the Newtownards Road. Altogether, it's a reliable and useful filling station though it doesn't yet have the embellishments that others have such as hot drinks and food.

There is a large forecourt with fuel pumps, plus a large parking space with lots of parking, plus facilities to put air in your car tyres. The store inside is much larger and better laid out than it was before, and stocks all the items you would expect a mini-mart to have, such as bread, dairy, cereals, papers, magazines, confectionary, tobacco, fruit and veg frozen goods and tinned goods.

There are two draw backs about this Mace, one is that it is smallish and has very poor parking outside - maybe room for ten cars in total? Also it is right next to a play park so it is always busy! Still, it is well stocked if you need dinner but don't want to go to a bigger store and it is the only petrol pumps for a good bit if you need a top up as you come through Comber!
