We have been getting our fish and chips here for a long time and the standard has remained good over the years. The prices are what you would expect and its always been hot and fresh. It pays to ring and order though as it can get really busy.

We recently replaced two windows in our home and were very happy with the service provided. The price was competitive with other quotes we received and the glazier was friendly, professional and on time.

Approximate cost: $300 for 2 windows.

This business has been there a really long time and has changed owners over the years. Their prices are quite expensive and I don't think the service is any better than several other local salons. The salon is modern though and the hairdressers seem up to date with the current trends.

One of the better play centres as far as equipment go, there is something to keep the kids amused from older babies to early school age. Food is reasonably priced but can be very slow to come out so order before your kids get hungry. Love the 2 jumping castles and the adventure area with large slide is great. Can get very busy on weekends due to parties and is also quite busy weekday mornings. The service is quite sloppy and last time we went we had to ask the staff to stop a group of adults playing kick to kick in the kids area-that just shouldn't happen. Usually staffed by teenagers on weekends who could be better trained. We have also had to wait a few times to pay to get in simply because no-one was paying attention to the front desk. The kids enjoy it though and the equipment is in good condition.

Approximate cost: $7

A multi purpose venue with a bistro, gaming, tab and nightclub. The bistro is good value and the food is excellent but the kids area is limited and some of its outdoors which is no good in winter. The gaming area is small but drink prices are reasonable and some bar snacks are available.

Approximate cost: $25

The service is nothing special but the prices are great and they do foot spa pedicures. You usually don't need to book and the staff are efficient, just don't expect any friendly conversation.

Approximate cost: $30

The food is exactly what you would expect from a pub and is on the pricey side considering its in the 'burbs. The bistro menu is fairly standard and has a kids play area. They also have kids/mums eat free nights. The gaming room is pretty standard as well and overall there is nothing exciting that stands out about this venue.

Approximate cost: $25

Really great tasting pizza at great prices. The service is efficient and they don't charge extra for half and half or extra toppings. Pick up or home delivery, they have some excellent value pizza offers including garlic bread and soft drink. They also do kids and main meals.

Approximate cost: $8.50 per pizza

The gym is getting a bit tired now and one of the reasons I stopped going there was because the group fitness classes were so crowded. Its not cheap for what you get and it can be difficult to get a machine in peak times. One of the benefits though is the indoor heated pool which is great if you like water aerobics classes.

Approximate cost: $39 per month

A good suburban restaurant that had good quality food and service but nothing spectacular. The dim sum menu though is huge and they do a fair amount of takeaway so its a popular place with the locals. Food can sometimes be a bit slow out of the kitchen but its hot and fresh.

Approximate cost: $20
