We had some issues with the booking system, which was quite poor, but George was absolutely fantastic in sorting everything out for us. He was so helpful, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was put right. Thanks to him, everything ran smoothly in the end. He really couldn’t do enough for us! We’ll definitely be coming back – excellent customer service from George!

Saba was great vibes , took cute photos of us at the end which was really kind. Would have liked to have a go at more of the challenges, but could have possibly taken too much time if incorporated. Fun experience at the cube overall.

Had the best afternoon here! The staff from those on reception, at the bar to those leading all the games were amazing and friendly creating such a good vibe! I would defiantly recommend here and come again. We played as a couple and were paired up with another couple which create a great friendly completion. Shout out to the whole team at the Cube!

Had the best time here. Bar staff Jack and Ella were amazing and so helpful from the start! Very friendly. The food was absolutely delish and very reasonable for what we had. We played the cube and had so much fun. Would 100% recommend. Will be back for the golf

This was a great day out, so fun and challenging. We went to play the cube, but there are other things to play in there. You have to play as a 4 so if you go as a pair you will get paired with another 2 but is good fun allow you to get to no them and get competitive. Communication is kay with your partner and we ended up winning and getting a spot on the leader bored. Will definitely go again
