Esso

Do not get parcels delivered here (apart from the Amazon lockers which are fine). The woman who works behind the till most days is incompetent, rude and doesn't fully understand English. I waited for 30 minutes to pick up a parcel, whilst she served other customers. Petrol price is also high even by Edinburgh standards, as others have noted.

Went here after visiting family in Edinburgh to use £3 worth of nectar points to get 10p off/litre, saved £3 on a tank of fuel.

Bit of a rant coming up I'm afraid but I feel it's totally justified.A few months back I went into this filling station on my motorbike (I've been using this place for over 40 years way back to when it was known The Windmill Service Station) never having had any problems before and I was refused fuel unless I took my crash helmet off. This is both time consuming and unnecessary.I asked why and I was told that it was in case I drove off without paying.I explained that, there is a perfectly good CCTV system in operation and just like any motor car, which it was accepted had also been known to drive off (no doubt with a lot more unpaid fuel on board than a motorbike) my motorcycle has a registration plate allowing them to trace me as the registered keeper.Question, do you think they would refuse to serve someone driving a car who was wearing a burka and ask them to remove it, no, that would be discrimination!Well, this is discrimination against all motorcyclists.I went back in today in my car and filled up and asked if the same ridiculous policy was in still in operation for motorbikes and I received the answer yes.So, sadly after 40 years frequenting this great little filling station which has served me well it will no longer receive my custom as either a car driver or a motorcyclist. Instead I will simply travel the extra 50 yards to Sainsbury's, a station they are trying to compete with and who do not insist on my removing my crash helmet when fuelling my motorbike. I will fuel my car, my wife's car and my motorbike(s) there in future.To the owners, think on, it's difficult enough for the small fuel retailer to compete & attract good customers, there's a lot of motorcyclists out there who are also car owners and word spreads.I would actually rather support the small fuel retailer who tries hard to compete than the big multi nationals but unless this policy changes you have lost a long term customer.I hope you do reconsider this ridiculous (discriminatory) behaviour.

I have quite nostalgic ties with this place having been an occasional customer here for about 60 years, since first they opened. I bought my first Esso map here for 6d (2.5p in today's money). Before that it was the station where I changed trains going from Granton Road to Barnton.

Worst petrol station ever. The pumps do not have a safety trigger to stop when the tank is full, the petrol and diesel prices are higher than all the other petrol stations by A LOT, it is the worst choice one could make to use this place. Staff are nice though, but not compensate for the ripoff and the poor facilities.

They had a plentiful supply of diesel liquid which was applied to my vehicle by use of a very handy nozzled pumping mechanism. I inserted the nozzle of the pumping mechanism into the appropriate orifice of my vehicle and depressed the initiator which commenced the fuelling process. Once the tank has attained capacity the mechanism ceased operation with a satisfying mechanical clunk informing me that the endeavour had reached fruition. On the whole a thoroughly riveting experience. No pun intended.

It's a mid sized petrol station situated on a busy road. The nearby Sainsbury's petrol station may well be cheaper & better, if not so obviously accessible.

It was really busy on a Sunday afternoon when I was there. Shop is quite small inside but had a good selection of snacks to keep us going during our journey. Fuel was priced average for the area.

Went in for air, paid 1£ (overpriced), the pump wouldn’t supply any pressure. I asked the guy inside the shop and he couldn’t help. I therefore left with my flat tire and didn’t get a refund. Extremely disappointing experience

Convenient location with a good selection of products inside when popping in past to get fuel. Staff are really friendly.
