Shopping & Restaurants
+ Prospect’s most famous food and drink destination is the historic Roy-al Cricketer’s Arms, built in 1877 and one of the few remaining roadside inns that were on the Great Western Highway between Sydney and
Bathurst. It’s an old world establishment with no pool tables, gaming room or TAB, just great beer and pub food.
+ Also popular stops are Caffe Rossa and the Atura Roadhouse Bar & Grill as well as neighbouring cafés and restaurants like Tingha Palace at Blacktown Workers Club, the Paper Plane Factory in Girraween and Oak Bar and Grill in Eastern Creek.
+ Anyone decorating, renovating or seriously shopping for appliances and furniture in Western Sydney flock to Homemaker Prospect (formerly Homebase), the first purpose built centre of its kind in Australia.
+ Another Prospect institution is the Blacktown Markets held every Sun-day, known throughout Sydney for its eclectic mix of collectables, vin-tage finds, pre-loved bargains all in one mammoth continuous garage sale.
