Hannah Banana Tokens

Hannah Banana was a UK “eatertainment” concept created as a homegrown take on the American kid-focused pizza-and-arcade model, built around a flagship venue at Lakeside Shopping Centre that paired casual dining with redemption-style games and attractions. What made it especially notable to animatronic and token collectors was its small stage show featuring the original mascot Hannah Banana alongside a banjo-playing Billy Bob, plus related costume work credited to JH Entertainment via Stagecraft’s project listings. The brand also issued its own arcade token—matching the venue’s “EAT – PLAY – PARTY” tagline—cementing it as a legit, purpose-made UK arcade-token issuer rather than a generic soft-play name. Although the concept appears to have been envisioned as something that could expand, it’s mainly remembered today as a limited-run experiment that’s now closed, with most surviving details preserved through enthusiast documentation of the show and mascot.
