This was a pleasant experience for myself and my son. I had booked 3 games and a meal with drinks, I did not realize this was not included in my booking. Therefore this was extra cost.

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.

We had a great time
We had a great time, food was value for money and the drinks the only downfall is people already on lane just take their time sitting , chatting and drinking and then you’re late starting your game

Everything went smoothly ( it was my granddaughter’s 2nd time of going bowling) apart from one small problem. My little granddaughter let go of one ball and it stopped a few feet from her. She hadn’t rolled it hard enough. I pushed the call button but no-one came. It was busy so we waited. After 15 minutes I went to the desk and spoke to the chap there. He huffed and said okay I’ll come over. Problem solved. We carried on with our games.
