   This place is amazing, we had my sons 14th birthday here. Downstairs you have arcades where you can purchase a card which allows you to use all the games which seemed to range from £1 per game upwards. I just gave all the kids a card with some money on so they could go off and play what they wanted while I sat and had a drink in the comfortable seating area. They had a huge bar with a good selection of drinks and cocktails, I noticed they did a bottomless brunch with unlimited pizzas (which looked lush by the way) 1 meter long pizzas cooked fresh in the pizza oven. Upstairs they had a racetrack with remote controlled cars which you could play on all together while sat in a race car style seat with a steering wheel. It was so much fun, I think 1 game was £4 then £9 for 3 or £15 for 5. They lasted about 5 mins per game and a DJ played some good tunes while we battled it out on the track. They also had a smaller selection of arcade games upstairs by the race track. If your going with kids I would recommend going earlier in the day, I'd booked for 3pm which was perfect and really quiet. We left about 5.30pm and it was just starting to get more lively with groups of adults arriving for a night out. Staff were fantastic and if any of the boys had a problem getting a game to work they were happy to help them out. Highly recommend this place. They don't have any parking but you can park outside on the meter for 2 hours or i think there's a public carpark a short walk away.

   Wonderful pizza, great quality ingredients paired with a wonderful set of chefs. Friendly bar staff who help with any inquiry and request, not too loud and plenty of seating. Games are cheap too

   We have booked for bottomless brunch. We were the only booking in the building and we seemed like an inconvenience for most of the staff members, except one guy who made our drinks and spoke with us. When I asked when we could get our pizza I was told we can have only one for 4 people and there are no other toppings than pepperoni. So we had pepperoni pizza. Nice place, but I don't think I will rush back any time soon.

   We came for the brunch option today and it was great. The pizzas were hot and fresh, with a quick service considering they are a meter long! There was a great choice of drinks for both alcohol and non-alcohol brunch options. Staff were so friendly; thank you especially to Adam and Jo for being so helpful. The choice of games is great too - we will definitely be coming back for another brunch as it is great value for money. Thank you all!

   I went with a few friends during my trip to Northampton to try the Metre Defeater challenge - you have 45 minutes to eat a metre long pizza by yourself and you will get it for free if you win. They cost around £30. The pizza was tasty and you get water and dips for free with the challenge. If you're with a group of people and aren't interested in the challenge, the metre pizza is a good way to save money here. The garlic and herb sauce is home made and tastes great. Staff here are really relaxed, genuine, and friendly, and despite the sheer size of the food, it was quick to be served. I didn't win the challenge, although there is always next time. It was still worth it to stuff my face with great pizza for £30 and still have food left over to share with my friends. There's a variety of arcade games here to play too, so you could easily spend an afternoon here and not get bored or hungry. This place is highly recommended!

   Came here for bottomless brunch. The cocktails were really nice but the service just isn't there. You have to go up to the bar to order your drinks every round, which would be fine if the bar staff were working efficiently but there seemed to be a lot or standing around and the queues really built up. The staff I spoke to didn't seem particularly pleasant or that they were happy to be there at all. The pizza was quite nice (not amazing, but decent food to go with the cocktails) and the staff running the food counter were very helpful and patient. The games are pretty fun and are a nice activity for after your meal. I probably won't be back for a brunch again, there are much better offers in the town.

   Hi Lesley, as requested - my main issue was the quality of the drinks served. I ordered a few pints of neck oil and each of those were served in cider glasses and certainly didn't taste as fresh as it does in other establishments - this is a premium priced drink in your venue so I expected better. Thanks for taking the time to request the feedback and hopefully you can improve moving forward.

   We travelled down from manchester to Try the metre defeator pizza challenge, the staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating, pizza was the biggest thing I have seen and none of the 4 of us came anywhere close to finishing within the time allowed. A good choice of games to play and a cheeky cocktail afterwards is a unique twist and makes for a good night out- well worth a visit -

   Great drinks, great games! I’ve been here a few times as part of a fun night out and had a wonderful time. You can play golf, basketball, air hockey etc or head upstairs and take part in the remote control car racing. All come at an additional charge but it’s worth it. There are some great frozen slush cocktails too. Really recommend this place.
