Gourmet pre-packaged meals are now being dished up at a Brighton petrol station.

As part of a deal between oil and gas giant BP and David Jones, shoppers will be able to pick up a free-range roast chicken or baked treat when they fill up their tank.

BP Bayside, on the corner of Nepean Highway and North Rd in Brighton East, is the first of 10 collaborations between the stores which is aimed at delivering fresh, high-quality food products to people on the go.

More than 300 products are on offer at the Bayside store, including ready-to-eat and take home meals, confectionery, dairy goods and long-life products.

BP Bayside is open 24 hours and has been carefully designed to make the shopping experience as seamless as possible for customers and includes self-serve check-outs.

Five other stores are set to open in Ringwood, Glen Waverley, Brighton, Clarendon and Greensborough between December this year and March 2020.

BP Australia vice president sales and marketing Brooke Miller said both BP and David Jones aimed to deliver a best-in-class, high-quality convenience offers.

“The traditional service station offer of today will not fulfil the retail customer needs of tomorrow,” Ms Miller said.
