Brilliant experience. Lane was ready for our time slot, no glitches. We enjoyed it so much we had another game. Staff were really helpful to keep us on the same lanes. Great service.

karaoke room birthday party…
I booked a karaoke room birthday party for a group of 9year olds, the room was spacious and the machine easy to use although it didn’t have very current songs on it. There was only 3 inflatables in the room for a group of 10, 1 microphone wasn’t working, i took this back to reception twice and kept getting the same broken Microphone back. The children enjoyed the food and icecream.

This venue has a better layout than other brands and it manages the different spaces and services on offer very well. The toilets both male and female had a terrible stench and could have been cleaner.

Mediocre experience
Bowling was good, although I didn't feel it was great value for money. Worst part was we put 10 in the change machine and only got £8.10 back. Went to the till to tell them where they told me it's a different company and they would have to take my details and address so the company can investigate. Not happy, was my little boys first time bowling and we missed out on a few games because of this. Drinks and food were pricey too. The young guy at the till was however great and was great with my young son.

Good but a bit disorganised
The beginning was chaotic and late, but once an older employee stepped in, the laser tag birthday party went smoothly. The kids had a great time.
I do recommend it, but be prepared for a bit of disorganisation.

Boots dissapointing. Good value with Tesco Clubcard.
Good value with Tesco Clubcard.
Haven't been bowling for a few years. I liked the new layout at the front of the building, pool tables and more open arcade area. The new booths were really disappointing. We didn't enjoy having to perch in a line on the bench whilst waiting for a turn. I guess this speeds up the game, making more money for Tenpin. But it wasn't very sociable for us.
