    We visited the F1 Arcade today to celebrate part of my partner’s birthday, and it was such a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was amazing, and the racing simulators were so much fun. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. We had a great time and will definitely be coming back. A big thank you to the team for making the day so special!

    Stopped by the F1 lounge on a Monday afternoon, and as expected, it was pretty quiet. We got in right away and jumped into some laps. One downside is that the track and car selection are random, so you can’t choose your team or track. (Imagine being forced to drive for Sauber—painful.) That said, the experience itself is top-tier. The setup includes force feedback wheels, ultra-wide monitors, and a full-motion rig, making it incredibly immersive. We had a few drinks, and the service was on point never felt like we were waiting around. There are QR codes everywhere, so ordering more to the table is effortless. I got a Pstar Martini, and it was fantastic and made super fast too. The atmosphere is dope, with great visuals and HOUSE MUSIC!! The only proper genre for racing, if you ask me. Highly recommend this spot for a birthday or office outing. It was an awesome experience!

    Absolutely love this place!!! 2nd time here with my son to play a few games on the F1 Simulators, they are extremely fun and many different levels from rookie to pro. We haven’t ate or drank here so can’t comment on that but from what I’ve seen I’ll definitely be trying something next time. Overall nice little experience and friendly informative staff. Thank you 🤩

    Great afternoon out at the F1 Arcade. We did 5 races and had a drink after, we went around midday and it was getting fairly busy as we left. I would recommend pre booking, don’t chance it! Friendly for all levels and the staff were great at getting us set up and explaining the equipment.

    This is a fun morning/afternoon out for any driving/F1 fan!!! It's reasonably priced. You earn points when driving which you can spend on the fun games after you finish your drive. You play against an AI Bot. The instructors recommended my son to play as a Novice, though he has the F1 PS5 game at home...it was too easy. So if you have experience in driving, I would suggest going for Pro/Advanced. Staff were very polite and friendly. Great for family day out or friends party. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go again.
