The waiting time was far too long
The waiting time was far too long, especially considering we had pre-booked. When we arrived, the queue at reception was already very long. Once our name was finally called, we were sent to the wrong lane and had to return to reception to be redirected to the correct one.
After we started our game, a member of staff approached us halfway through to ask if we would move lanes because they had double-booked ours. There was no offer of a complimentary game or any form of compensation for the inconvenience.
They were clearly short-staffed, and the food we ordered took around 30–45 minutes to arrive. When it did, it was freezing cold, so I had to return it and request it to be remade.
After finishing our bowling game, we went to the arcade. The cost of the prizes was extremely high, and I spent over £50 on arcade games. When we redeemed our tickets, we discovered that the prizes were overpriced and poor quality. We were offered a toy that was broken, exchanged it for another, only to find that one was also broken. After leaving the arcade, my son removed the tag from the toy, and the head snapped off completely.

Birthday treat for my daughter 🎳
Took my daughter and a couple of her friends for her birthday.
Check in was quick and all girls were soon have fun bowling .
After the games had finished my daughter and her friends went into the arcade and spent
Far too much money on the machines 😬 a couple of the machines broke while we was there taking our money then not providing the game so we asked for assistance, one team member was great but the other was quite stroppy like it was too much effort and how dare we’ ask her for help.
Overall though it was a good trip and my daughter and her friends had a great time.

Good but a little niggle
Generally the experience was good. There seemed to be plenty of staff who were helpful and friendly. Everything went smoothly from check in, we played 2 games of bowling and then some arcade games.
A small niggle would be the way they allocate prizes from the arcade. Obviously my daughter wanted to play games for tickets. She won enough to get the prize she wanted and had already seen in the display cabinet at the reception desk. There were 4 styles to choose from but they only had 2 styles in the cupboard and she was told she couldn't have the one off display. To a child, this is devastating news! 😂What is the point of having something on display they can't give a child after they've spent half an hour choosing. Not to mention the parent who has to deal with the fallout and then has to wait another half an hour whilst they choose again! 🙄

Took the grandchildren bowling booked…
Took the grandchildren bowling booked in and was told they would call over the tannoy when the lane was ready - 20 mins later went to ask no one on the desk lots of people waiting. Told to go to our lane people still on it so waited another 10 mins for them to leave it was full of dirty food containers and cups etc asked for it to be cleaned but nobody came so had to clean ourselves. Disappointing visit.

Aggressive behaviour from staff
I was extremely disappointed with our visit at Christmas. Following this complaint I have received an apology and a refund: Bowling is an expensive outing for our family, something we usually reserve for special occasions. I visited with my two sons and had booked two games.
While playing, we took a few cans of cola out of our bag, unaware that this was an issue. Without warning, the situation escalated dramatically. A security guard suddenly stood directly in front of me, with a member of staff behind him, shouting at me about the drinks. Their behaviour was aggressive, confrontational, and completely inappropriate.
The incident was shocking and ruined what should have been an enjoyable experience. My son, who is autistic, became very distressed, and understandably so. I was also extremely upset by how we were treated.
Had there been clear signage at the table, an announcement over the tannoy, or if a member of staff had approached us politely to explain the policy, we would of course have complied. Instead, the response was unnecessarily hostile and disproportionate to the situation.
This experience overshadowed the entire visit and left us feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Sadly, as a result, we will not be returning.
