This review is for South Sydney Industrial Markets, Alexandria NSW

They have only been running since Sept, so they are still in the building stage. Currently have about 20-30 stalls, about half food and produce and the other half craft and assorted goods.
They are on Sundays from 10am to 3pm and have plenty of parking and are under cover so you don't have to worry about weather.
I went at about 2pm and got some great specials as they were closing up and discounting food.

Great range of cakes, but I particularly like their range of tiny cakes, tarts and biscuits - they are such a great present idea rather than chocolates or a whole cake to take as a gift.
Coffee is very good, service is very helpful, but decor of shop is a bit uninspiring

Great range of pizza's and well priced. Try the marinara pizza, it has generous topping and good variety of seafood....prawns, octopus, calamari etc. You can order online and they also deliver - great for Friday night footy!!

Great location, very convenient in middle of Norton St, however service was chaotic, furniture (tables and chairs) are a bit worn and shabby. Coffee was OK, but there are better places on Norton St

This is a (smallish) supermarket but it has recently been renovated and now stocks heaps more. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't do all my shopping there as it is not as cheap as Coles or Woolies, but it is very competitive for a strip shopping centre. In particular the have a whole BBQ chicken for $8...thats pretty good value

This petrol station and mechanic are a family owned business. They have been there for years (used to be Caltex). They are honest and always friendly. They never try and rip you off....they offer honest advice (like when it's not viable) to fix. I have been going there about 20 years and 4 cars later, and I trust their advice without hestitation

This review is for Fish Fine Music, Sydney NSW

Fish records have an extensive range of music, and have many specialty shops, this one specializes in classical music, however they will source other music from their other stores, so at Christmas I was able to buy classical music, contemporary music and show tunes, all from the one location. Their service was exceptional
