Renowned for its pizza, I love their steaks and chips. Very reasonably priced for what you get and good quality steak, not chewing gum as you can get in some budget restaurants, and make a mean garlic and cheese pizza if you're not worried about the calories.
I enjoy going there for a quick and cheap eat. Drinks at reasonable prices too. Staff are usually very friendly and courteous and I believe the original owners have been back for some time after selling the business. The specials board always has something to tickle the taste buds too.

Better than most. Have a fair selection of packs to chose from. Sometimes the young teenagers working there need some customer service skills, but the owners are pleasant enough. Always clean and inviting premises and food tastes great too.
They also sell fresh seafood to take home and cook...but why would you??? when you can buy it ready.

I had Chris attend to a burst pipe at my home. I was pleasantly surprised with his same day service and repair. He arrived within the time frame he suggested, had a quick look at what needed repairing, grabbed his tools and went on his way with repairing the pipe.
At the end of the job, I asked him what I owed him and gave me a very reasonable price which i appreciated. I did not have time to shop around as I needed the burst pipe repaired asap. Will definitely recommend Chris and use Chris in the future. I will keep his business card in a safe location. Well done Chris. Thanks again.

seemed like an overpriced la porchetta. It was in the entertainment book in the gold section...so maybe I had higher expectations.....was disappointed with general atmosphere. Although initially it seemed to be a boutique restaurant from the exterior.....my impresion deffinately changed within a few minutes. food was ok and service was ok too, but not exceptional

happened to drop in on my way through. Was pleasantly impressed. generous serve of chips and they were more like steak chips - big and fat. didn't expect them....
potato cakes were a decent size too with a freebie thrown in which is always good marketing.

Approximate cost: $10

I've been going there for about 8 months. I usually use the gym - cardio and weights. They have some descent bikes and treadmills and quite a few machine weights aswell as free weights. Most people are friendly although some just aren't sociable. All staff are keen for a chat and advice if required.

Approximate cost: $680 / year

i needed a window replaced after it was broken. After ringing around with the size required and some ridiculous quotes ( I thought). I came across Peter who must be one of the cheapest going around - which explains why he's busy. He was there the next day to replace my window and even though he was running late and I thought he probably won't turn up, he did turn up at about 6.30 pm on a week night. He kept his word and I was relieved the window was replaced.

Approximate cost: $110

I used Sam after been refered to him by a friend. I've used many tradesmen over the years and was immediately impressed with his punctuallity. After a quick look around at what I needed, he provided me with a written quote on the spot. He was reasonably priced and agreed on a start date and colours there and then. He made himself available in the time frame I had in mind and completed the job on time. He even cleaned up after himself. He just goes on his merry way, half the time I had forgotten he was there....and he's a nice easy going guy too . I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and will recommend to others in need of a painter. Thanks heaps Sam for making it a pleasant experience!

Approximate cost: $3200
