Why should grown ups have all the fun? A popular burger restaurant in the city appears to be addressing this question by launching a children’s soft play area on site.
Phat Buns opened on East Street in September 2023. It has now dedicated the first floor of its restaurant to a fun play area for children.
The brightly coloured soft play area gives little ones a fun and safe space where they can leap, jump and run to their heart's content.
In keeping with the food based atmosphere, there are also quirky ketchup and mustard spinning pillars.
These, along with slides and climbing frames will undoubtedly guarantee hours of fun for children.
The restaurant is also offering party services if you want to celebrate your little one’s birthday in a special way.
Phat Buns’ website says: ‘Our soft play is all about fun and celebrating your child’s birthday differently and economically. You can save yourself the trouble and cost of organising an entire party and labouring in the kitchen the entire day by opting for Let’s Play at Phat Buns. It’s double the fun and the flavour, and you get some alone time!’
The Soft Play Party Package starts from £150 for a minimum of eight children which includes 90 minutes’ worth of play, music and hot food.
