Good Company, delivers on time. Only problem was they didn’t leave a delivery note, the only way to check quantity delivered. Phoned office and got a half hearted apology and said quantity would be sh... See more

Great service as always, but, adding an additional service charge to orders placed via your website seems opportunistic. This since companies generally encourage the use of web based ordering because it saves them money! I have only experienced such charges before where a middle man is taking a fee.

Hey Mr Meers,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you found our service lived up to our high standards.
We do now have a service charge on online orders to bring us into line with other industry websites who do the same. This makes it easier to compare the best price for your delivery.
You will just now find the service charge itemised and included in the total price and the separate pence per litre price displayed. We still offer the best price by ordering online and find that we match or better the price offered by other competitors.
We look forward to delivering to you again soon! - AB

Reliable and friendly
As always bang on time, no fuss and cheerful.
Southern are very good at reminding me to unlock the access gate and have the tank padlock off. The only sign that the tanker is here is a distant humming from the fuel pump!

Good company to deal with. Pre delivery contact and delivery as expected. Our village runs a bulking scheme and I believe our prices reflect our total order. Very happy to support a local supplier

Great company to work with
This company is always very easy to work with from being easily accessible on the phone to the helpful guy actually doing the delivery. Prices are competitive and they will always try and match a better quote you may have got elsewhere. Their deliveries are always prompt.

I have used Southern Fuel for some time now. The service they provide is excellent from getting a quote to ordering the oil and getting it delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We've used Southern for years. Prices are always competitive and their drivers are the best - completely reliable and respectful of the parts of our garden they have to negotiate in order to get to the tanks!
