A woman travelled from Liverpool to Sheffield, a distance of 110 miles, to visit a petrol station that has been hailed as the best in the UK by social media users.
Morgan Bold, from Liverpool, took to TikTok to document her cross-country adventure to what she dubbed to be ‘the best’ petrol station in the UK.
“Today I travelled 110 miles to visit the UK’s best petrol station,” she began her video. The petrol station in question is a BP petrol station and a Spar on Bramall Lane in Sheffield, which has gained popularity on social media platforms like TikTok for its extensive range of food and snack options.
Three features particularly excited her – the frozen Tango Ice Blast Machines, the nachos station, and the sit-down Subway eatery. “Inside there’s eight Tango Ice Blast machines with limited edition flavours Fanta Lemon and frozen Coca Cola,” Morgan revealed. “There’s 10 different types of frozen milkshakes and they’ve even got their own nachos bar.”
She went on to explain that the Spar garage had received millions of views across multiple social media platforms, with people amazed at the large stock of different foods and drinks all in one place.
She continued to explain that the Spar garage had garnered millions of views across various social media platforms, with people astounded at the vast array of different foods and drinks all under one roof.
“It’s got all your favourite viral foods and drinks under the one roof. Got a huge American foods and drink range as well, I’ve never seen anywhere else in the UK. And that’s still not it.”
Morgan was thrilled to also discover the Subway eatery inside the petrol station, complete with several tables for customers to sit and enjoy their meals. The station also boasted two Costa express machines and a microwave for heating up a selection of healthy prepared meals on sale.
“Honest to god, it was the gift that keeps on giving,” Morgan exclaimed. However, not everyone shared Morgan’s enthusiasm about the petrol station; some viewers questioned whether it was worth the journey.
“Actually baffles me that people are travelling cross country to my local petrol station,” one viewer remarked. Another added, “Sheffielders will know this ain’t that deep,” and a further comment read: “why are people spending so much in petrol to go to a petrol station.”
One user, who works at a petrol station, said, “I work for a petrol station myself, we don’t have these but oh my days bet me and my colleagues would think this is just more work for us.”
