The post office offers the usual postal services, along with collections and deliveries of parcels. There is a ramp allowing easy access for disabled persons. The staff are really nice and helpful, but the post office is always busy as it is the only one in the local and surrounding areas, and the staff often don't seem to be able to cope with the massive demand on them. However, they do deal with the queues as quick and as easy as they can, and so a bit of a wait is normal procedure. It can get very busy at peak times.

Bridgewater later become a cavalier stronghold, holding out against Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians until the decisive battle at nearby Langport. North Petherton's big advantage is that it usually takes place on the first Saturday in November, so it's ideal if you need to travel a fair distance. If you've never been, you really should go!

Nice surprise - before Christmas they open at 7.00 so I was over the threshold on the dot! The office has been smartened up since my last visit (in September) and the young lady behind the counter was cheerful, polite and happy to help me. At 7.00 am that's worth brownie points in my book. So a professional service in a clean smart environment. Yes, it can get crowded but the counter staff generally do their best under some pressure, especially at this time of year. I hope it continues to be as neat and tidy as it is now, as it's definitely more pleasant to wait for your letters/parcels etc.and I imagine for the staff too.

It is on a main bus route and also has a small car park around the back of the store. The post office staff can be less than enthusiastic, and sometimes they make you feel as though you've disturbed their peaceful day by daring to use the post office. However, it is convenient and if you decide to buy a snack on your way back through the store, the prices are not that much more than a major supermarket would charge.
