Why players come back
One wristband
Pay once at the door and every cabinet, pinball table and console is yours until you leave.
Game gurus
Our staff know the rules of every game on the shelf and will teach you at your table.
Tables for any crowd
Two of you or twenty, there is a table, a sofa or a back room that fits.
Step-free inside
A level entrance, a lift to the console lounge and cabinets you can play seated.
Food at the table
Order toasties, fries and shakes from your seat and keep playing.
Open late
Until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and ten o'clock the rest of the week.
Overheard at the counter
PSPriya S.Friday regular
We came for one game of Street Fighter and left at closing time. The toasties are dangerously good.
TATom and Ellie R.Board-game café
The guru taught us a game in four minutes flat, and now it is the only thing my family wants to play at Christmas.
MOMarcus O.Private hire, autumn 2026
Best office night out we have had. Thirty people, one bracket and a very sore loser in accounts.
Before you visit
Do I need to book?
Not for the arcade floor. For a board-game table on a Friday or Saturday evening, booking is wise: tables go by seven.
Can children come?
Yes, until seven in the evening with an adult. After seven the bar is open and the floor is for over-eighteens.
How does the wristband work?
You pay once at the door and every cabinet and pinball table is on free play for the time you chose. No coins, no tokens.
Can I bring my own game?
Of course. Table cover is the same, and our gurus are always curious to learn something new.
Is there food for vegans?
Yes: half the toasties, all the fries and two of the shakes are vegan, and the menu marks them.
