Overall a great experience since the refurb a few years ago. Good range of arcade games to play for all ages. Nice to have a little bowling (or skittles I think it might be technically) area too. It always feels fairly clean and well staffed, machines are quite new and maintained nicely. Free cash withdrawals are great since there seem to be hardly any cashpoints nearby. I also believe the machine that dispenses £1 coins also takes contactless which seems obvious these days but also very handy as you can just turn up with your bank card without playing hunt the tenner. Some improvements I think they could do with: 1) It's a shame they blocked access to the toilets attached to the restaurant. You used to be able to walk straight into the toilet hallway from the arcade but they've lumped a machine there now. I assume the restaurant didn't want non patrons using the facilities which I can understand but the public toilet situation along the front is dire. You'd have to walk a fair distance either way to find somewhere, if they're open at all. Not ideal with little ones, elderly, differently abled or if you're busting. So please reopen this if possible. 2) It can feel really tight for space in peak busy times. You're best off abandoning push chairs as you'll have no joy manoeuvring it through. Doesn't help that people seem to actively seek out pathways to stand around in. Also please stop taking dogs in there, it's hot, loud, busy and it's not nice to have a yappy dog adding to all that. Be good if management could ban dogs (aside service) altogether. Also on the space issue, whenever I have been (usually around 5-10 times a year), the 'over 18 only' area never seems to have more than half a dozen people in there. Maybe they could use some of that space for a better layout. 3) My biggest gripe is the prize redemption area. I think the prizes are decently priced (in terms of tickets) and there are loads to choose from. However there's only 4 ticket eating machines for the whole arcade and they're all up near the prize booth. This ultimately results in a mass of people in that corner which is a nightmare to navigate. Especially with children in tow. Usually one or more of the machines isn't working either which adds to the mass and queues. Some more machines dotted about the arcade would be a great help. The ice cream/donut/hot drink booth to the right of the arcade is good on the whole. Cost wise it's about what you'd expect for a beach front place. The ice cream is decent gelato, donuts are fluffy and not oily. Coffee is freshly ground. The fish and chips to the left again is tasty and costs what you'd expect for pier food. Pretty quick service considering the huge queues you can see sometimes. Good selection of food and cold drinks. Always fresh tasting too.
