We often eat out at the West Ryde Hotel as they offer a wide variety of meals, its within walking distance of home and they have the sport playing on the tv. It's a relaxing atmosphere where you can cook your own meat and save a bit of money and watch whatever sport is playing on the television.

We often get takeaways from Rib Runner and my husband loves them! They offer a variety of foods including rib, mexican, pasta and pizzas. They serve large meals at excellent prices - good value for money! And they also offer quick and friendly service.

Joe built effectively two retaining walls for our garden using sandstone blocks and with a garden in between the two walls. He did a fabulous job, worked constantly and effortlessly, finishing the job in a week. He charged a very reasonable price and was significantly cheaper than a lot of other quotes we received and would definitely recommend him to others for landscaping works. He does retaining walls, brick paving, concreting and provides free quotes.

Approximate cost: $8000

We bring both our dogs to this vet and have received excellent service and helpful advice. We receive reminders as to when the dogs need their next injections etc and receive advice each visit as to their health, condition, etc. We even took our puppy to puppy school there and had a great time!

We often use Jim's Dog Wash Franchisee Ryde and are very satisfied with the results. Marina is very friendly and helpful and she comes around and spends at least half an hour washing, drying and making our dog look beautiful!! Good value for money and she is often booked out in advance.

Approximate cost: $40

I had some unusual flights to book and the first time I visited this Flight Centre I was unsuccessful in booking these flights. However, I returned again and spoke with another girl, Sally, who was very helpful and was able to book my requested flights. She spent a great deal of her time helping me and she was very knowledgable and helpful.

We always get our Chinese takeaways from here and this restaurant is always busy. They serve great food, have a wide selection of food and they offer fast and friendly service. They only take 15 mins (usually) to prepare a takeaway meal and the owners are very friendly.

I have only been here once but was very impressed and happy with my hair style. Cost of cut was as expected and service was very helpful, friendly and efficient. As a new customer, I received a bag with some hair gel and an incentive to return again which I will do.

Mostly get takeaways from this restaurant but has a fabulous atmosphere when dining in and always busy. Food is excellent! Service is always quick and efficient and we often eat at this restaurant.

Good value for money and made to feel welcome and relaxed. I have had massages, waxing and nail manicure and pedicure there and all were great quality with excellent service. Have returned and will continue to return!
