    BP Bridgeman Place is in Bolton town centre, a short walk away from the bus/rail station. They have…read morea small shop which as a Subway inside, and a coffee machine as well as Amazon Lockers, so the overall facilities is OK. Petrol is a tad expensive here, pretty common for BP, I did find the petrol prices weren't as bold and obvious and the sign outside was much smaller than most other petrol stations, I didn't notice it at first anyway. Prices are also high in the outlets and the store. I wasn't impressed with the service either, a man who worked in the service station seemed to come over and shout over me in a foreign language to talk to the Subway staff, I get they're bored as it was a quiet day but they seemed to wait until a customer was actually there in order to shout, and it left me feeling rather uncomfortable. There wasn't much of a parking area for people who just wanted to go to Subway or go into the store without getting petrol, without feeling like getting in the way. I do find it strange that on the websites of businesses located here including Subway and Amazon Locker, they call it "Shell Bridgeman Place", my only guess is that this was recently a Shell garage before being converted over to BP, it still was pretty confusing as I was expecting a Shell Garage here. 3* - OK, the location in the town centre is handy, as well as housing a poor Subway branch but still one of the few non-halal stores in the area.

    I am so used to petrol stations being tiny places where you can barely move around because there is…read morea queue of people waiting to pay for their petrol. This is definitely not one of those. Even from the outside you can see that this petrol station is quite nice. We stopped to get some snacks on the way to the park. It was very convenient as it has a bit more than the average petrol station as well as a Subway. I like that more petrol stations are offering options like Subway... just because it is a convenience store, doesn't mean I want to eat burgers and chips all the time. And if you don't want Subway, you can pick up other sandwiches, veg, and fruit. All of it looked quite fresh and enticing! In addition, they offer Costa Coffee and a small selection of bakery items. And as we were waiting in the queue at Subway, we were able to connect to the free WiFi. When it is busy, finding parking if you are not filling up can be a bit tricky, but I find that to be a problem at most petrol stations. Overall, it is a really nice petrol station and I wish it were closer to us so it could be our usual petrol station.

    I used to use this place quite a bit before I moved a few years ago, and it was the friendliest…read morepetrol station I ever came across. They actually took the effort to get to know you over a period of time, and it's a shame in some ways we moved elsewhere in Bolton and now don't use them as much. I wouldn't have said they were the cheapest place in town -- the petrol always seemed cost a couple of pence more than the lowest price locally, and as usual if you want to buy anything else there you'll pay heavily for the convenience factor -- but if you want a friendly petrol station, this is definitely the place to go. Or at least it was a few years back!

    BP are one of the biggest names in garages and this is one of their best for faciliites, not just…read moreincluding Petrol, The Petrol prices are good but I wouldn't recommended filling up your tank here because compared to ASDA and Tesco, the prices are high but if you are passing through Rochdale on the motorway, this is very close to an exit so is better than paying prices at service stations, In this garage, they is a Starbucks, Spar shop, Ambala, Subway and Starbucks On The Go Machine so it is like a mini-service station without service station prices considering the facilities, The Starbucks store isn't the best but they still can make a nice coffee and sell some good memorabilia. One thing I do not like is, if you are coming down towards this garage, you have to go into a side street, wait at the lights and go back down the road if in the car, but to be honest it is just the way the road is set out, and it isn't the garages fault. The garage (not the Starbucks) is open 24 hours, 7 days a week so that is quite useful too. This store also has a Jetwash and Carwash and is one of the bigger BP garages, that does most things you would expect from some BP Garages so I do have to give 4 stars as this is probably one of the best BP garages in the North West. UPDATE: In November 2014 it seemed I run out of superlatives to describe this garage, and I can't help but feel having visited over 39 times now (the amount of check-ins I have in Yelp) I was in awe of this petrol station having a Starbucks, which is simply an average Starbucks with much higher pricing due to being a franchise store, with my drink costing 50p more in the worst of cases. I also feel the petrol prices at this petrol station is too high, even compared to other BP garages and a Tesco store, literally so close you could push your car to it, I can't help but feel I was far too generous when originally reviewing this place, and although I don't feel a new review is necessarily as there isn't much more to say, that I have not originally said, I still feel this BP branch only deserves a two star rating, and is around the middle of the two star scale at around a 2.4 or a 2.5.

    Convinient in that this garage is open 24 hours a day but fuel and sundries are always overpriced…read more Staff generally grunt; there's never any 'please' or 'thank you's', let alone a few words put together like most people call a conversation.
