It runs daytime fun into evening party mode. Under 18s are welcome before 6pm Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday, but must be with an adult over 21. After 6pm it turns 18 plus. There is no door charge, you just pay for your table time and whatever you eat and drink.

The ping pong setup

There are 17 tables across the venue, so this is a proper-sized room rather than a couple of boards in a corner. Alongside standard ping pong you can play Ping Pong X, a tech-driven version with projected targets, and Beer Pong if you want something more casual. Games Gurus float around to get you started and keep things moving, which helps if half your group has never picked up a bat. Tables are booked by time rather than by game, so you rally at your own pace for the slot you have reserved.

Good to know
