What do brunch and mini golf have in common? Well quite a lot actually if you ask Puttshack with the launch of their brand-new brunch club offering at the weekends.
Ahead of the launch we were Invited to a special preview brunch at Puttshack Bank. Let’s start with the food because let’s be honest it’s pretty important it’s a two course brunch offering. For the main we went for the eggs Royale and the chicken waffle both were amazing and cooked really well.
For dessert we shared a cheesecake and churros my personal favourite was the cheesecake definitely recommend going for that. Now all too often the mere mention of free flowing ‘bubbles’ invokes an involuntary eye roll from me as you just know it’s going to be really rather hideous; but not this time. The prosecco served with brunch was not only palatable it was really nice, with a good depth of flavour and no lingering acidity – something that really stood out.
With a resident DJ the vibe is definitely party-esque and fun but it’s not over the top or overbearing, you can still hear yourself think and hold a conversation; it adds to the atmosphere it doesn’t dominate it – I think that’s really good Puttshack have got that balance just right.
Brunch finished and it was time to tee off – It’s worth noting at this point that I am absolutely atrocious at mini golf and that’s absolutely fine my putting partner stole the golf show and won tremendously I was there to add the humour, as you can see from this hilarious action shot. Honestly it was just an achievement that I hit the ball in the right direction! Mini golf is all about friendly competition and not taking yourself seriously.
Ticket wise there are two options: a premium ticket will get you brunch which includes 75 minutes of unlimited Prosecco beer or a Mocktail +2 courses and a game of mini golf afterwards for £45 or a standard ticket gives you the brunch and booze without the mini golf afterwards for £40. It was a great day date for us, yet equally would be perfect for larger groups.
Whilst Puttshack itself is open to children it’s worth noting that the brunch is available to 18+ only.
And if you’re still not done after all that fun, then there’s a bar with a nothing mini about it cocktail menu to keep you entertained.
Brunches are in danger of becoming a bit stale – so anything that is fun (without being gimmicky) is a winner for me; that’s exactly what Puttshack Brunch Club have done here: a great core offering of brunch with lots of fun that doesn’t feel forced or rushed.
Puttshack brunch club is available every other Sunday at Bank and you can book online here.
Disclosure: We were guests of Puttshack for the purpose of this review.
