Unbelievably good experience and can’t thank the honesty of the owner, John, and all his staff. I lost my wallet in these arcades after taking my two grandchildren for some fun. The owner, John, tracked me down and got my phone number to confirm he has found my wallet with £440 in cash still there. What a guy! I hope this karma and honesty returns the good fortune.

Chuck loads of 2ps into the machine - get a bucket of keyrings! Winner! One of the crane machines had knock-off pokémon in them, leading to my wife and I now sharing the in-joke of "dead bulbasaur." Wife also won a cuddly goat.

Robbing awful rude staff . After putting in £11 in a 2p machine a key ring was stuck and wouldn’t fall I asked a member of staff to get it for my 6 year old granddaughter and the guy opened machine and just put key ring back on pennys and would not give it to my granddaughter. I questioned this and 2 staff ganged up on me saying they are trained and wouldn’t give a crap cheap keyring to my poor upset granddaughter and when I said I’d not be going there again he said good bye . Absolutely disgusting robbing place .

This is a well established amusement arcade, there are the old school 2p coin dropping machines and you can also win tickets which you can exchange for gifts and sweets, there are plenty of very modern arcade games to play. There are plenty of change machines to get you coins from.

I was playing on the ticket dome and I was winning and then the machine broke down because some of the tickets were stuck but then they started turning off and on the machine when I hit a bonus and I didn't get any reward. But still, I won around 1200 tickets on that machine for 5 pounds.
