Game Experience

Pros:

  • "We managed to win a giant Duck! Hitting 8 out if 9 target scores!"
  • "The gals went nuts🤣 Was here for a hen do and it was great fun! The golfing was hilarious."
  • "The games were fun and challenging with some....ohhh I got high score in 6 off games."
  • "Loved all the games but especially the shooting, bowling alley and hook the duck."
  • "All games were good fun, I would say that the rifle shooting game needs a bit of a tune up in terms of health and safety."
  • "Great concept. Food was great for what you paid for."
  • "Games were fun, but having no prize tiers and just win or lose makes it hard to enjoy without a drink!"
  • "Games were hard enough to challenge but not hard enough to be frustrating."

Cons:

  • "The atmosphere was really lacking for us, which affected our enjoyment."
  • "Needed to wait to play which was fine but waiting to play due to not enough staff to set up the games was ridiculous."
  • "Seriously overpriced for the money we paid."
  • "I mean it's surprisingly good fun but good God the queue system needs work because it's an absolute free for all with some of the games."
  • "Some of the games already felt a little tired tho and they felt slightly understaffed even tho it didn't seem busy."
  • "Place looks amazing! The ques for the games were 20 minutes long each one."
  • "The course itself is quaint but great!"
  • "Really fun games but some pretty unachievable targets for some of them."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "The drinks were fab and the staff were all brilliant, especially Jordin who looked after us on 4 of the games."
  • "Staff were super friendly too and very patient thank goodness! 😮‍💨"
  • "Friendly helpful staff - especially Ryan at the front desk who was very welcoming."
  • "The staff were great: enthusiastic and patient, considering one of our group is old and infirm."
  • "Staff lovely, didn't catch her name but the girl on in the bar in particular an absolute delight."
  • "The staff here were friendly and welcoming."
  • "The staff were very friendly and drinks were very nice too."
  • "Myself and my partner went in the evening and had so much fun! The staff were very friendly."

Cons:

  • "Enjoyed our first round, then it got really busy. The bar Q was terrible and only one bar open with a Q of 20 ppl and only 1 serving."
  • "No room to queue for games and wait is too long. A lot of the games seemed to be operating at half capacity due to breakdown or lack of staff."
  • "We were expecting the cocktails to be pricey so can't complain too much about that but just far too small a venue to be enjoyable."
  • "We arrived 30 minutes late as our bus was heavily delayed. We were a group of 5 friends but another friend decided to tag along and we thought this was no problem as the website said walk-ins were welcome however the manager said our friend was not allowed in."
  • "The only real downside was the offering of beers as it did seem a little limited."
  • "Furthermore, they don’t make the rules clear about winning tickets for the whack-a-mole style game on the lower level."
  • "Playing the gun game, my gun jammed and had to wait till my group was finished to even play as the staff member had left to chat to another staff."
  • "Total let down, complete mayhem in the sense that even though you book and buy tickets etc to enter..... once inside it just a free for all."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

  • "The burgers and cocktails were AMAZING!!"
  • "The cocktails were fun too! We never had food but we did see some that looked good."
  • "The food was nice nothing special but the garlic fries were really nice."
  • "The drinks were fun and tasty."
  • "Good drinks. Never tried the food but it looked delicious."
  • "We didn't order any food but my partner had two cocktails which were very generous for the price."
  • "The menu for Drinks and also for Food was good, the drinks tasted lovely, i had cocktails my partner had cider."
  • "Had the Mcavoy burger, haggis and 2 beef patties with cheese and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had."

Cons:

  • "The only downside is I couldn’t bring the duck home in my hand luggage!"
  • "Enjoyed our first round, then it got really busy. The bar Q was terrible and only one bar open with a Q of 20 ppl and only 1 serving."
  • "We didn’t manage to get food as the kitchen closes at 9pm which was OK as they informed us of this when arriving."
  • "The food was okay, very greasy but not too bad."
  • "Beer lovely but the cocktails were more or less just a cup of fruit juice for £9 a pop."
  • "Not a lot of options at bar sadly so left after finishing the games."
  • "We got there well after we should have but the staff were so nice let us still play which was really kind of them."
  • "Very poor. Friendly staff however the mini golf is very small with only 9 very basic holes."
