We engaged Amazing Painting Services to paint our house. This was a large job - cedar weatherboards on a very large house, a large number of timber framed windows and doors and some areas that were badly weathered. Ken arrived to quote the job (when he said he would!) and immediately it was clear he knew what he was doing. The quote was emailed quickly and the price was very competitive. Ken and his team arrived when they said they would - at 7.30am every morning. They spent time a deal of time prepping and Ken also spent a lot of effort to explain what he was doing and checking whether we were happy with progress. They even worked weekends and public holidays! Amazing Painting are just that - amazing. Great price, great service, on time, friendly and most important of all, the quality of the painting was first class. We will be using them again for interior painting

Approximate cost: $9000

Ian and Leigh undertook work on cabling, new power points, installation of room heaters and outside lighting. They were quick to reply to my enquiry, and on the work days, were prompt, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitley recommend them to others.

Angel Fish & Chips has changed hands in the last year or two but the new owners picked up all the 'tricks' of the previous owners that made this a great takeway. Great burgers, chips are good and fish serves are always large. Friendly service, fast and the place is spotless.

Croydon bake house make the best pies I have ever tasted. No, really, I dont know what they put in them but they are just beautiful. These guys are friendly, quick, cheap and like I said...the pies. Try steak and cheese or steak, cheese and bacon. Some of my kids like the chunky meat but I prefer the mince.

Approximate cost: $3.00 per pie

Rosco's makes the best pizzas in the Croydon area. We've tried heaps of places (including the crappy chains) and these guys make consistently the best. Favourites are meat lovers and Aussie. They also have a specials board which has some great choices. Good old fashioned pizza. DONT change!
