Have been to this shop many times now. There are closer places to where i live for sure but this place knows how to make great batter. The fish is always covered in some of the nicest, crispiest batter that you'll find anywhere. The fish size is always huge too. The chips are equally crunchy and delicious. The price is right, the service is always quick and the place is always doing good business whenever i'm there. Rightly so.

I have been to this pizza shop twice in recent times, my sister recommended it to me. It's got a great website with package deals, the ability to order online, and from memory they offered a discount online for your first order. I however have ordered via the phone twice, got a different family size half/half each time. The pizzas are great. They are cooked very quickly and the topping goes right to the crust. I even eat the crust on these pizzas which is rare for me. The toppings, while not hugely thick are delicious and the ingredients smell and taste fresh. There is also a gourmet range of toppings that i haven't tried. The price is ok, but not what you'd call a cheap place, but definitely worth it. There are eftpos facilities at the store. The staff are friendly, and i highly recommend it.

Not sure if it was only the day that i went there, but the products didn't really live up to what i expected. I bought an onion and cheese pie from memory and a sausage roll. Also a hedgehog slice. The sausage roll was HUGE! and very heavy. It was ok, but nothing hugely exciting. The pie i liked less again, the main problem being that the onion in it was huge chunks of onion, on the top of the meat inside, and the meat just tasted run-of-the-mill. The hedgehog slice was far too soft, and had a hint of what tasted like orange essence in it, but i could be wrong. I wasn't a fan. It's not a bad bakery that's for sure, but certainly not my cup of tea. It's a shame as it looked and smelt great! They had a good selection of cakes in there too in a separate section of their big L-shaped bakery.

I have purchased many items from this store. Cameras, a few televisions, a coffee machine, among other things. The manager of that section was fantastic and used to get me very good deals after i initially bargained with him the first time i went there. Unforunately he has since left the company but i'm sure there are other people there willing to make a good deal. The products sold there are some of the best, and if chosen, the HN extended warranty program is said amongst forums to be one of the best in the business. Store has a good amount of stock, albeit not one of the huge ones. Location is easy to get to and park at, and staff are friendly.

We purchased a car through Berwick Kia not long ago and found the service to be quite good. The salesmen were willing to negotiate and in the end we walked away with a very good price. They tended to be more interested in winning the business than other, far closer dealers seemed to be through the process. Delivery of the vehicle happened sooner than first informed so that was a good thing. They may be a little out of the way for some, myself included, but they seem to genuinely want your business, so they're worth a try for sure.

I only went to this bakery for the first time today, tucked away in the Coles car park area on Brice Ave. It's really the best bakery i have purchased from in many, many months. Very small shop but don't be fooled, they make great food. The sausage roll was fantastic, and the bacon pie was absolutely fantastic. BUT the caramel slice i had was hands down the best one i've ever had in my life. Mallow, creamy, not an in-your-face sugar hit like so many others. And the value! I got the bacon pie, the sausage roll and a danish i think for another family member and it was less than $10! Value is extraordinary. They deserve business.

Very nice pies and good desserts at this shop. Have been several times and love the pies there. I wasn't a fan of the sausage rolls, including the adventurous lasagne roll, but it's certainly something different anyway. The pies i've had have beautiful rich pastry and are square shaped, so automatically taste better! Price is about average for modern bakeries, and the service is generally prompt and friendly.

Have been to this pie shop many times and i rate it fairly highly. The cheese and bacon sausages rolls are my favourite but they can vary in taste a moderate amount, as can the pies. Although some could argue that this shows a true home-style type of recipe that is never 100% the same. The pies aren't bad either. They used to have a loyalty program where you'd get a free pie or similar every few visits but i don't think that exists any more. Overall friendly staff, decent food.
