Best fish and chip shop in Blackwood! The chips are great and the gravy is very tasty! The chicken hot pack is my favourite. The seafood pack is also yummy and great value! I find I have to share it as it is too big for just me. Good service as well.

We bought a tent here recently and had a fantastic experience. Lots of tents on display and exceptional staff to explain and compare the different tents. They have a good range of products and good specials. We shopped around at other outdoor stores and got terrible customer service and inexperienced staff.

Approximate cost: $375 for a quality 6 person tent

This review is for Waggon Wheels Fruit Market, Blackwood SA

We shop here every Saturday for our fruit and veg. The produce is great quality and they have a good selection. The checkout staff are always friendly and make the effort to make conversation while they serve. They are more expensive than the supermarket but most of the time the quality makes it worth the extra cost.

Approximate cost: $Variable

This review is for Crowies Paints, Blackwood SA

verified email - 29 Mar 2013

I am planning some house renovations and I have been into Crowies several times now to buy test pots. Each time the staff have been very helpful in suggesting colours and ways of selecting colours. They have been happy to look up colours from other paint companies and compare their colour ratios. The Crowies discount helps to reduce the price as well.

Approximate cost: $9 per test pot

This lovely little cafe just opened up in Blackwood. it was previously cafe Mojo and it has been taken over by new owners. The owners have given this cozy cafe a make over, with the walls painted in warm, inviting colours and chunky wooden furniture; a huge improvement on the previous decor!
I stopped in to have a quick coffee and piece of cake. The lemon cheesecake was amazing! The coffee was good too. The service was very friendly. A good experience overall.

Approximate cost: $8.50

I visited this restaurant after a movie and it was great. Plenty of space for my pram, great service and really yummy authentic Malaysian/thai food. They brought our food very fast too. this is definitely the best place to head for lunch at Marion, much better than the food court!

Approximate cost: $16

This is my favourite little cafe in Blackwood. It's small and cosy but also has outdoor tables available. The service is excellent and the food is delicious! I have had breakfast (fantastic crepes) and been several times for coffee and cake/muffins. It has a lovely atmosphere. This also means it is very popular so you have to get in quick to get a spot :)

This review is for Fancy Burger, Blackwood SA

The burgers at Fancy burger are tasty and made of quality ingredients. The chips are excellent! The vegetarian burgers are fabulous and I'm a big fan of the chicken burgers. Sadly I found the beef burgers a little dry. Overall I'm really happy to have such a great burger place in Blackwood! Definitely worth the cost as they are so much better than the burger chains!

We shop here every week and get all our gourmet treats. They have a wonderful range of fine cheeses and smallgoods. The owners are super friendly, and know their stuff! They also make fabulous coffee and sell delicious cakes and biscuits. They always make sure there are plenty of staff to ensure great customer service. I love this place!

Hello Charlie have great customer service, fast delivery and a fantastic product range. I order my baby wipes and nappy liners from them regularly and every experience has been great so far :) The website is really easy to use and makes comparing products easy.
