Creightons Of Finaghy

Best station about! Deli delicious, everything you need and more inside. Great location and more importantly staff very friendly and helpful.

Good prices, a full deli, BP super-​fuels, free air/​water and a mechanic shop just behind it makes Creightons the all-​in-​one garage for me
Its really the best garage I know.

Imagine the scene, it’s the dead of night and something obscure is desperately needed. This quest may be to satisfy the needs of a pregnant lady, a sick child, or perhaps you just have a urgent craving… either way Creightons has it covered.
The forecourt is always packed because of its convenient location and it’s (larger than most petrol stations) shopping.
It has everything one needs, a cuisine de France bakery, a hot food counter (serving breakfast and lunch), an array of crisps and chocolates, a car wash, a frozen food aisle complete with ice cream, chocolate bars, a recovery service, and did I mention you can get a chocolate fix here?
Although it’s always busy, unlike many businesses, it’s prepared for this and has several well staffed cash registers. So you and you’re sneaky petrol accompanied treats can get out quickly.

This ‘garage’ is not your typical petrol station /​shop. It has everything you would find in a supermarket and more. There’s fresh baked bread, a hot food and deli bar, billions of newspapers and magazines, all your usual convenience items and specialist foods. Plus, a post office, ticket master and flower shop. There are so many staff in the place that queues move really quickly. Brilliant shop!

Creighton’s is not just one of these new fangled garages which sells petrol just to get you into the convenience store attached. This group of businesses is ‘old-​school’ garage — the mechanics, car parts store and vehicle recovery service are very much alive and well.
The main shop includes a grocers, a post office and a really good hot/​cold food counter.
It is hectic getting parked at lunch but you can normally find somewhere to squeeze in. If it is completely jammed, drive round the back of the shop where most people don’t venture. There are a couple of unofficial parking spots.
Inside the shop, efficiency is evident in all corners. Even at peak times you’ll never wait too long.
A personal lunch favourite of mine is the hot spicy chicken breast sliced up in a baguette with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce and cheese melted over the top. That’ll keep you going ’til tea time.

This is truely one of the busiest, most popular shops/​garages I have ever come across and its easy to see why. First and foremost its a garage and so all the usual car services, petrol pumps and car washes are onsite but its the shop inside that really sets it apart from its garage peers.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week this shop never stops. Well, I call it a shop, it may be more appropriate to describe it as a mini supermarket. With a deli, fresh fruit and veg section and a post office on it its premises its no wonder its so popular during the day, but at night I have never been in and been the only customer, no matter what time it is. Perfect for buying your lunch, dinner, or even a frozen pizza on the way back from the pub, brilliant if you need the local rag, a magazine or a last minute birthday card, Creightons really is the quintessential one stop shop and has so many uses you’ll nearly forget why you need any other shop!

Hot food counter is massively overpriced. Staff unfriendly and slow to serve took up my lunch break while two serving staff members messed about talking. Some good offers but generally overpriced. Has a wide selection for garage tho which is a plus point otherwise tho it’s a bit expensive. petrol expensive too!

Great station, there are even queues for it sometimes! At busy times the staff are incredibly efficient and helpful…
I also find it terrible that I have to log onto the web to finish a review I started on the iphone… and that registration insists on a pic.

This petrol station and supermarket has recently expanded and reorganised its shop and it now has a hot and cold food deli. Their selection of hot food, sandwiches and deserts is excellent and most of it is reasonably priced. As well as this it has a decent size supermarket style shop, a post office and about 5 or 6 tills so you rarely have to wait. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

This isn’t just a petrol station, but has a large convenience store attached. The garage itself has about 8 or so pumps. With the popularity of the shop, the limited parking spaces and the busy road it lies on, it can sometimes be really awkward to get in and out of.
But apart from that it is a really great place to nip into. It is open 24 hours and carries such a large stock and range of items that you can actually get a reasonable amount of shopping in it. Especially handy if it’s late at night and everywhere else is closed.
As well as its range of grocery, it also sells, among other things, coal, cooking gas and 20 litre drum of heating oil.
The service itself is adequate enough, and it always seems to be busy.
