Spent a really nice afternoon here today. Huge range of games in their library, staff very considerate, welcoming and helpful. Coffee and cake was delicious. Will definitely be paying visits again in the future. Thank you!

Always have a nice time here. Great range of games. £30 for three people - a drink each and three hours of entertainment, which we thought was good value for money. Their shop also has a great range.
