Plonk Crazy Golf - HackneyC-Worth Trying
Arch 407 Mentmore Terrace, London E8 3PH
· Miniature golf course, Board game club, Cocktail bar
· 4.4/5 Google (273 reviews)
Fun, friendly games bar with a compact 9-hole outdoor-covered mini golf and solid vibes; great service and value-focused promos, but the course and arcade are small and can feel worn at busy times.
Why it gets a C- for overall quality
Plonk Crazy Golf delivers a fun social experience anchored by genuinely warm and attentive staff and a lively covered-arch setting near London Fields. However, cramped spaces that feel crowded during peak hours and occasional broken machines and maintenance gaps prevent a higher grade. Best suited for groups seeking games and drinks rather than serious mini golf or dining—solid for a night out, but not a destination venue.
Restaurant Summary
A lively games bar by London Fields, this spot mixes a compact nine-hole course with pool, ping pong, arcade cabinets, and good tunes. Many guests rave about the friendly staff and the upbeat atmosphere, with lines like "the team kept the vibes high all night." The arch-side course is covered and weatherproof, but it is small and can feel crowded at peak times, and a few machines occasionally need TLC. The culinary approach here is secondary to the play: think drinks-first with bar-friendly bites when partner kitchens are on. Cocktails draw praise, though a couple folks find them a bit pricey. Tacos and the odd vegan special pop up, with feedback ranging from tasty to small portions. This is best for people who want a social, multi-activity evening rather than a destination mini golf purist experience. For families, daytime visits can work well, and several parents noted their kids enjoyed a quick round and the arcade. However, repeated reports say no kids on Saturdays, so plan around that. The menu changes with partners, so if food matters for little ones, confirm availability first; otherwise, expect simple snacks and drinks rather than a full children menu.
