Great fun bowling but the selection of bowling balls needs reviewing as I struggled to find ones with sufficiently large holes for my fingers and I don’t have overly large hands. I would like to... See more

Lane 1
Lane 1. Malfunctioning. Pins were picked up and dropped many many times over 2 games. The scores were not being registered properly.
First time been on that lane. And it was pretty much ruined our bowling.

disappointing
Well to start , the only available pool table just kept taking cash and not giving games meaning I had to keep stopping staff to help. Nearly all the bowling offers were online only and the instore price was really high . This meant you had to make an account to book online and give every detail of your life away to play a game of bowling . Next the form online uses a stupid birthday calender that you literally have to scroll threw every month to input . This means if ur like me and in ur 30s your scrolling for 5+ mins just to get to 1980s .
So I found a deal that included food and bowling which offered a chicken burger for adults and kids burger for the kids . Both burgers where the same size (small) contained no lettuce or salad of any kind and basically was a mulitpack cheap burger that had just been chucked in fryer . And finally they also had a special offer on for £1 ice cream which my kids loved the sound of , unfortunately for them it was the pre sealed mini tubs with no sauce sprinkles flakes or anything just a very cheap nasty tub again that you but in a massive multipack bag , defo not worth a £1 . Overall the bowling was as to be expected it was the things stated above that ruined the experience , might I ad it isn't cheap anymore this cost me over £60 for 1 game . Will not be returning

Bowling was great
Bowling was great. Ordered food too as.it was a christmas celebratory get together and was told food was being served. Waited another 30 mins and no food had arrived. Spoke to the staff who told us the food had already been sent out? We never received any food and had to convince them to serve the food as no children had eaten

Excellent customer service
Rang in advance re booking options for groups and customer services were excellent. Booked for a youth group. Christmas deal of 2 games and food was excellent value. Staff at the venue were extremely helpful throughout. The only weakness was the extra food we ordered for the adults, which wasn't very appetising. Otherwise a great experience for a group booking.

Fun few hours , great staff .
Really nice venue , clean and tidy , the one member of staff was great , checked us in quickly, got our drinks at the bar and delivered our food bang on time between games . I should have got his name for this review , young lad , red hair , great customer service. Food was better than a lot of fast food. We had an early afternoon booking and the venue was not too busy but enough to have a good vibe.Three generations in our party and we all had a lot of fun.We took advantage of a special offer and it was good value for money
