It's amazing what direction a thread takes, when the opening post has been cut from a thread, within which it would probably have been lost.
Where to fill up BEFORE catching the Chunnel TO France
- Thread starter EVskiy
- Start date
most seem to be going south east
Slightly embarrassed by the choice of B&B, will not be staying there again!
A little overpriced shall we say?
Will be trying the Red Lion next.
Bit far from up there.
But cheap down here...

Wow, 1.35 a litre. You've been ripped off.
I've paid as low as 1.31 in Spain.
Just passed a garage near Lagos airport and it’s 48p per litre . I suggest we meet here in May

Blimey, you are brave, loose in a Moslem country.
State of the art airport including the sign

The Red Lion in Hythe seems to have a decent reputation, obviously I’ve never stayed there.
A couple of acquaintances stayed in the Royal Norfolk in Sandgate last night and reported it “ok for one night”, and I’m told that the food is very good, though I’ve never eaten there. Went in for a pint a couple of years back, but it wasn’t my kind of pub. There are lots of pubs, bars and eateries in Sandgate.
The Stade Court in Hythe was, I believe, being used to house refugee children, though I do not think that is the case any more. It now appears to have an Indian Restaurant built in. There’s also the Hythe Imperial, which has a champagne bar, if that floats your boat.
There are several hotels in Folkestone including a Premier inn just by J13.
There’s a Tesco with petrol station between J10 & J10A at Ashford, there’s another one (with a MacDo’s if that’s your thing) at J12, and it’s about a mile back up the A20 to the back entrance to the tunnel. And if you don’t want supermarket fuel, there’s a BP (with M&S and a car wash) just across the road.

There’s clearly a fervent interest.
No need to worry a bout having a full tank as when you come off the tunnel there is a garage on your left as you exit the terminal & it’s card payment so it’s 24/7 
And it’s full of unorganised Brit bikers who didn’t fill up in UK plus it’s expensiveNo need to worry a bout having a full tank as when you come off the tunnel there is a garage on your left as you exit the terminal & it’s card payment so it’s 24/7
I was paying 1.61 in Brittany two weeks back
