Me and my little girl love Summit up, Amazing staff, all friendly, helpful and above all else knowledgeable and vigilant. Climbing walls/boulders are constantly changing to keep it fresh The cafe here has some good food at decent prices and the best mochas around. Since becoming a member and getting to know the staff and some of the climbers here I find this place to be much more than just a climbing gym. And that should just about summit up 😉 Keep up the awesome work guys and girls and thank you.

Climbing is awesome, my nephew did it so I was just a bystander. Do fancy it, but the thing that is the biggest seller…the food. £7 for a pizza which literally tastes better than the standard they have at Domino’s. these guys should think about getting onto food delivery, I just can’t get over how good that pizza was. Actually ace. The pizza was amazing.

Incredible! Loved it so much. So much better than the gym. My mum video’d me, my brother and my niece smashing it. The food looked reasonable as well, didn’t get any though. We parked round the corner on the street, free parking.

Great for the kids, worked out about £17 each for an hour's climbing. Food was decent too. Large pizza for £7. Nice couple of hours out. Staff were friendly and helpful

Had my child’s 4th birthday here in October. Staff members were friendly, kind and patient. Our dedicated party host, I can’t remember his name, I think he said “Peter”, not sure, but he was the absolute best and a very kind lad. Kids had fun, most of the kids (guests) were unable to climb, so they went to the soft play instead. The pizza was nice 😊, kids loved it. They also served ice-cream for desert. Party host helped us cut the cake and wrapped them individually for guests. The environment was clean, including the party room. Was also allowed early access to the party room to do some decorations. Although the party rooms are already decorated with balloons on the roof.
