Delicious food and exceptional service. Very well set out to accommodate social distancing, with specific areas you get to yourself that are physically separated. Always good fun, and will be back!

We came for bottomless on their reopening this august and the whole place was spotless. Felt very at ease with their COVID measurements and the staff were more than amazing!
Maddie
How come I didn't know about this before! So let me get this right I can have a gin and play old school street fighter... wow....! We need one if these in our area.
Neeraj Sachdeva
Booked the unlimited brunch for my husband, great place with fantastic service. My husband is already planning another trip with his brother and friends!
Neverland91
Really fun experience. The staff went above and beyond to make sure were comfortable with controls and games. Would definitely comeback!
Jessica
Everyone at Platform were exceptional, the gaming was so much fun and loads to choose from, it didn't matter if you were a beginner or a pro. The pizzas were so good and the service couldn't be faulted.
Teen Unite
My sister booked a bottomless brunch here for her birthday on Sunday and it was amazing. The concept is great there was a group of 8 of us and we were all able to play. Great selection of games. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only flaw was that the pizza bases were too salty. We did feed this back to them and they offered to change our pizza's.

Of course. Due to our venue being heavily booked for experiences, we do advise booking in for food and drinks, but if you’re gazing lovingly through the window, our team will always do their best to find you a space

If I don’t want to game can I just sit with my friends?
