Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Minehead and the wider West Somerset coast — covering the TA24 postcodes — with collection in around 30 minutes and direct-drive delivery to anywhere in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Minehead coverage and response times

Minehead sits at the western end of the A39, with the A358 linking the area down to Taunton and the M5. We usually collect from the seafront, The Avenue and the Mart Road industrial estate within about 30 minutes, and reach nearby Dunster, Watchet, Williton, Carhampton and Porlock in good time. It is roughly 45 minutes to Taunton and the M5 at junction 25, putting Bristol within around 90 minutes and the Midlands or London within easy reach for a same-day run.

Industries we move every day in Minehead

The local economy leans heavily on tourism and hospitality — the Butlin's resort and the West Somerset Railway among them — alongside farming and livestock, the harbour and marine trades, and retail. We also support contractors feeding the Hinkley Point C supply chain further along the coast, moving everything from urgent catering and event stock to agricultural spares and project parts.
