Motorway Service Stations
All Motorway Services will remain open 24-hours-a-day throughout Christmas – and it is a condition of their license to do so.
Having said that, while you will be guaranteed to be able to fill up the tank, you may not have the usual range of food and drink on offer, though you can also be certain of access to a toilet.
Asda Petrol Stations
Asda supermarkets will remain closed on Christmas Day but you will still be able to buy petrol via their ‘pay at pump’ operations.
BP
BP say their petrol stations are open “24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. So, if customers realise they’ve forgotten something crucial on a public holiday, BP’s service stations offer essential supplies for those last-minute purchases.”
Esso
Esso will also keep the majority of their filling stations open on Christmas Day, but you can double-check that’s the case on their station locator.
Morrisons Petrol Stations
Morrisons petrol station forecourts will remain closed on Christmas Day but will be open for the rest of the festive season.
Shell
Shell will be keeping “most of their petrol stations” open over the whole Christmas period, though some shops will remain closed.
