As much as the experience is great fun, it takes a long time to get to that point, this time it was…read morea four hour wait before we got to play, which is insane. I get that the idea for them, at least, is so make you sit around so you spend more money (great business plan), but four hours to play two games... The chilli cheese dog was awful, red in skin so closer to a savaloy, and the chili wasn't great. I ordered a 2 pint stein, of which they'd apparently run out of yet hadn't mentioned it to me and then served two single pints. Tater tots were decent though. All in all, I like the idea and it's great fun but waiting around that long, alongside the prices of drinks (pretty much London prices) such as 6.20 or so for a pint, plus terrible food, isn't s great experience. *Updated review* We went back as some friends were down and it was an even worse experience and we'll never be back. Pushy service which we then noticed service charges - it's not a posh upscale restaurant, how can you justify a service charge? The food again was average to bad, spicy Mac and cheese was awful and not spicy, tater tots were lukewarm and soggy, wings were fine but not listed as spicy (they are slightly), the burger my friend got was poor and dry. To add to this, they didn't clean and take away plates and glasses for over an hour. We then proceeded to wait 4 and a half hours before getting into a lane, along the way, we got to 1 at in the queue where we waited 45 minutes and saw numerous people go ahead who were further back in the queue... All because they had kids. I don't think breaking the rules because people choose to bring kids down late on a Saturday is very fair on the people who've been there since before 4pm, it was 8.30pm at this point. I was told (which I knew) if you want to get in quicker, book a slot, but that comes at a cost of £39.99, and that doesn't include any games, food or drinks. I then had security speak with me as I was getting agitated and say, well I'm here to 3AM, after I said we'd been there since before 4pm. Honestly, that's not a great response and insulting. You chose this job, not me, it's not my problem you're there until 3am, if you're unhappy, change jobs? Literally, it's nothing like this at the one I'm Las Vegas which I've visited numerous times now. I would avoid this place like the plague, unless you like wasting money and valuable hours of your life. We'll never be back.

I had a fantastic time with some mates at Topgolf, this is a brilliant concept where young and old…read morecan hit some balls while having some beers and food. I would definitely consider coming back. However there are some downsides which leads me to give Topgolf only three stars: - the wait: we came on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait 4 1/2 hours. 4 and a half hours!!! Since we pre-paid our session and there was a sports-bar showing football, we waited but really... - the food: the menu looks super attractive since I am a big fan of traditional American sports bar food (wings, burgers, nachos). However, all the dishes we had were mediocre at best. Even something simple as loaded nachos were just meh. - the service: the service in their bar was extremely slow, I guess we had plenty of time but the staff was also unaware of the menu. I asked for a Peroni beer and even pointing at it on the menu was not sufficient for the waitress, she asked me to spell it for her sjeesh. So bottomline, the main attraction: the driving range is super fun and good entertainment but the bar is below par (pun intended hehe).

I rarely give 1 or 2 star reviews so a place has to be pretty bad to receive one from me. This is a…read morenew location for this chain, and I haven't been to any others in the restaurant chain, so I don't know if they are all as bad or if this is the exception. I'll start with the environment which feels more like walking into a Spanish themed amusement park. Inside is a wide-open space with tables designed to fit as many people as possible. It is loud and bright and full of families. When it comes to the menu I have found places that try to offer a bit of everything are not able to do anything well. The menu offers a selection of South and Central American food. And I am going to go out on a limb here and say, it probably doesn't taste that authentic. So, I decided to go with a simple lunch burrito bowl. I've eaten a lot of burritos and burrito bowls in my life and can honestly say, this was probably one of the worst. There wasn't much in it. The chicken was blah and it just had to much random stuff in it. Since burritos are not authentic Mexican I thought this would be the thing they could do somewhat well. I was wrong. Of the two people that waited on me, one took the order and the other brought it, one was good the other not so good. So overall the place sucked and out of all the restaurant choices in this little town, I will not be returning to this one.

The customer service made this a 4*. I went here with a work colleague for lunch…read more As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a really friendly and polite barman. He took our drinks order and served us. I asked to set up a tab and he was fine. He pointed out the special board and welcomed us to take our seats. I had a burger and chips, it was nice enough. My colleague had fish and chips and he said his fish was actually really nice and definitely a good bit of quality fish. The waitress was so sweet, attentive and amusing! The decor was lovely and you can tell it's just had a big makeover. The whole place was immaculate. A really decent selection of drinks, including London lagers and ales. It is is at the posher end of "gastro pub". I would go back here 100%. If nothing else the staff have won it over for me hands down. You k ow you'll get served timely, decent food, with a smile, nothing too much effort.

They're dog friendly and there's a really nice nature walk right opposite the pub. You'd want to get there by car as it's in the middle of Watford road but to easy to find. The staff there are welcoming, we actually went on Boxing Day thinking it' probably be too busy but they were really nice and we got a cozy sofa spot next to the bar. The food is nice and warming I had the butternut squash soup of the day with nice homemade bread. They do amazing seafood hence the name and I'm eager to go for the lobster Tuesdays. I think you have to book in advance due to popularity. Will definitely recommend any hungry hikers and families with kids as they have a lot to choose from with whole lot of alcohol choices too!

A new establishment has opened in Stanmore and it's pretty good. £25 will give you an hour of…read moreunlimited bowling for up to 8 people. I wouldn't recommend 8 people for one hour though as time goes quite quickly. Everything is downstairs, is lit solely by LED and smaller than your regular bowling alley (only 4 lanes too) also it doubles up as a restaurant/bar. The décor is pretty cool too - giant lava lamps around and bowling related stuff. Reservation is essential as it gets booked up very quickly ...only 4 lanes you'd expect it. There is waiter service to the lane so you get food/drinks brought to you rather than waiting at the bar - quick service too. There's always deals going on here too so check the website before going and you could possible save a few squids. The cuisine is a blend of Italian and Indian (apparently the chef is very good) and they have a happy hour; classic cocktails for £4. Definitely worth checking out. Good for a night out after work with a few friends.

There was outdoor areas with lighting, but a tad too cold out. Cute areas though. They were pretty busy as well and luckily we got a good table. Wait staff were friendly, pace of service was a little slower than what I'm used to. Had to hail someone down quite a bit, but overall food was great. We started out with cocktails because there was a special, happy hour going on. Potted Devon crab with avocado guacamole and chicken liver parfait. Not sure why I expected the Devon crab to be hot.... but it was tasty. I craved a couple more pieces of toast. I got the duck leg confit with citrus sauce and my friend got St. Austell's Tribute Steak and Ale pie. The duck was delicious. Perfectly cooked, sauce went well with it. The Dauphinoise potato, I wanted more so badly. My plate was cleaned except for the bones. The steak and ale pie was not bad, my friend enjoyed it. We finished dinner off with their pistachio soufflé. I asked what was recommended for dessert, never had a pistachio soufflé before, and it was rich and sweet. Offset by the chocolate ice cream, which had a slight bitterness to it. Perfect combination. The table next to us got the chateaubriand for two. That looked amazing and had my mouth watering. If I'm ever back in the area, I do plan on making another trip hopefully.

I am always a fan of a good country pub. We were two thirds of hour way round a Sunday country walk…read moreand found ourselves a bit peckish and in need of some refreshment. This place definitely delivered. We sat outside in their pleasant garden. Only downside is it's not south facing so wasn't in the sun. We got a bit chilly after a while so we moved to one of their tables with a heater. Much more cosy. Service was very friendly. They brought some water and offered biscuits to our dog (always a winner). Food was excellent. The beetroot and burrata salad was particularly tasty and beautifully presented. Potted shrimp was also very tasty. It gets 4 rather than 5 because it is a little expensive. Worth it but still a bit pricey for a pub. We would definitely return if we were in the area as there were a lot of delectable sounding items on the menu.
