I had a great time at the F1 Arcade for my birthday. The atmosphere was brilliant, and I enjoyed racing on the simulators. It definitely brings out your competitive side. We had 5 sessions of racing. The cocktails were expensive but they were nice. This is such a fun place to race against family or friends. The staff were welcoming, and I loved the interior and decorations. The lady kept us up to date, as there was a power cut, but we managed to change our slot to later in the afternoon. She was very professional and helpful throughout the process. Everything was smooth and stress free.

Such a great atmosphere, highly recommend coming here for race day or quali!! The staff were so lovely and it really is an F1 fans dream! We didn’t go on the sims but they looked like great fun! We watched quali here, got there half an hour before lights out and had no issue getting seated! I can’t recommend it enough both to F1 fans and non-F1 fans

First time trying it and it was great fun. Not usually a fan of Formula 1 but we all really enjoyed it. Wasn't too expensive but it's a really popular place, so can be hard to book larger groups Positives: Great fun Good value for money Great service and friendly staff Negatives: None

Really enjoyed this place. Booked a party of 6 for two hours. What surprised me was the quality of the food. Pizzas and nachos were banging. The actual simulators were good too. It teamed us into 3 teams of 2 where we had 9 races each. And we got to race each other. Was a laugh. Plenty of time on the track and beers for £35... Really good value for money. Would definitely do it again and recommend if you enjoy driving

Great place if you're into F1 in a big way or even if you're not. Food was very good and came quickly. The DJ played some great music and created a great vibe. Quite loud, but just the way we like it!!
