Bounce in Farringdon may not look like your typical restaurant from the outside – and that’s because it isn’t. This ping pong venue is all about fun, with great entertainment and a craft cocktail list, but you won’t leave with a rumbling tummy. Alongside battling your friends to become the ping pong champion, you’ll get the chance to enjoy some delicious fresh pizzas. The location is perfect for those who are looking for a bit of post-work fun, being located just on the border of the busy City of London.
Before diving into the pizzas, try a few small bites. There are miso-marinated fish bites with ponzu sauce, vegetable tempura with red pepper, broccoli, sweet potato and sweet chilli sauce, and loaded sharing fries with pulled BBQ beef, garlic mayo, sriracha mayo and crispy shallots. There's a solid selection of pizzas to choose from, including classics like a margherita and pepperoni, both made with fior di latte mozzarella, alongside some more inventive flavours. Try the wild mushroom with ricotta base, white wine-marinated wild mushrooms, chilli, garlic, parsley, salted ricotta and truffle oil. There's a luxurious parma ham and burrata pizza, deli option with grilled artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives and mushroom, and spicy beef.
You definitely don't want to sleep on the cocktails! Try the Frozen Margarita Picanté with El Jimador blanco tequila, pineapple, agave, chilli and lime, or the classic Espresso Martini made with Eristoff vodka, Kahlúa and espresso. We really love the sound of the Curveball with gin, lychee, aloe vera, mint, grape and edible flowers, which sounds like nothing we've tried before, and the GLT – which is an elevated, lemony take on a gin and tonic. Bank this one for socialising, letting your hair down, and enjoying time with friends and colleagues.
