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!

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.

There is an ice cream bar, deli counter, butchers and hot food. There is an ATM outside also. The hot food counter is brilliant. They do a great range of breakfast items (fry's etc) and lovely lunches available daily too and very reasonably priced. The garage is 24/7 with a hatch open at night for you to be served from. Always lots of very friendly staff available to assist should you require anything.

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.

The other two are Maxol stations with modern Spar stores joint on whereas this garage is a little bit old school, with a smaller more personal local shop attached. There are six pumps here selling unleaded and diesel, they also have a vacum service as well as an air machine for altering the pressure in your car - the air machine takes coins (20p) so there's no need for tokens or to even go in to the shop if you wish to use this service. The shop is paypoint friendly meaning you can top up your gas and electric here - they also serve a small selection of hot pastries and everything else you'd expect from a local corner shop. There's often great food deals on - the counter next to the checkout has the best bargains. The staff are fantastic here, always ready for a chat and generally pretty chirpy! It's next door to a chippy and a chemist too! No ATM at this garage but they are okay about using card for smaller transactions! Needs modernised slightly but does the job just fine!
