Also a post office. Took my photo for a WWC card and it they marks all 2 out of 4 of the pictures. They said this was fine as I only needed one set anyway. Had to pay full price for half the photos!
What sets this chemist apart is that the staff go out of their way to assist you. As they know me, they let me 'owe' them a script if I run out of medication. They give great advice on what medicines to take. They will phone my doctor if needed and even helped me out when I was overseas and had a medication translation issue.
I've been here several times and the food and service is VERY hit and miss. Sometimes one dish will come out 10 minutes before the other, ruining your entire meal. The staff were very cold about this. Sometimes food tastes like it came straight out of a can (vegetarian pasta). But pizza can be great. I'd say they're popular from the location, not the food and not the service.
Approximate cost: $15
I had my hair cut and foils done here. They were slow and my hair-cut was not great- the hair dresser seemed to need a fair bit of direction. Then she wanted to charge me for a 1/4 head of foils which was more than 1/2 head of foils which was on special. Probably wouldn't go back.
Approximate cost: $70
I had my hair cut, had foils done and had my eyebrows waxed. Hair cut/foils were good, not great but they really screwed my eyebrows up, not following the natural shape of my eyebrows but instead shaping them into two semi-circles. Looked awful for ages.
Approximate cost: $80
I've had severe neck problems for over 10 years and have tried numerous chiropractors and another osteopath. Anthony has been the only one to be able to provide lasting relief from pain for me.

Good value with discount seniors and kids meals. Meals are better than usual pub fare. Family friendly as there is a play area for children. Steak menu lets you choose size and sauce on your steak. Shopper-docket offers float around from time to time. Quiet enough to have a conversation. Unfortunately you have to buy drinks from the bar and you can be queing for a while, while regular drinkers get to skip the queue while your meal gets cold on your table. Otherwise service is quite good.
Approximate cost: $20
I get my highlights done and hair cut here. I've also had my hair coloured and get my eyebrows waxed. The place is run by two sisters who live locally, one does the hair and the other the beauty elements. I have always been happy with the results and feel comfortable with both women- I find some hairdressers are only interested in clients who are really fashionable and girly, but these women are easy to talk to, aren't pushy, and even make you a cuppa. And they do excellent men's hair cuts too. They are good value for a professional service, not as cheap as say 'Just Cuts' but then you aren't risking a terrible 'Just Cuts' haircut.
And my eyebrows are done really well- shopping centre cheapie waxers just can't compare, this is a place where they take the time to make sure everything is done right and it only costs a tiny bit more- well worth it. Basically, I feel at ease and like the service at Cutika and they could only be improved if I could get an appointment in a hurry.
The food is quite good as is the service. The place can be quite busy so it's best to book ahead. The beer garden is also quite nice and it's a gentle, comfortable place I've taken my grandmother. My only complaint is that on a Friday/Saturday night the place turns into a horrendous disco meat market for the 18-25 crowd. It's the type of place where the aim is to 'pick up' or at least drink as much as possible as quickly as possible and to slosh your drinks around on the dancefloor and over others. It's quite a contrast to the comfortable, classy restaurant!
Approximate cost: $28
The food is very poor- expect for meals to be bought out at different times, for someone's food to be cold and for the wrong bottle of wine to be bought over. This is primarily a pokies and TAB venue and it's noisy and on weekends bunches of extremely drunk men yell comments at passer-bys. I have seen numerous people leaving and driving drunk, and even a fight at the entrance that I called the staff to attend to. Every now and again they do a half-hearted effort to look nice and respectable but there is a reason this pub had the reputation of being a 'blood pub'.
There are regularly coupons for discounted food (such as on shopper dockets) but the staff regularly refuse to honor these coupons. This place is a dive.
