Very friendly staff and a great experience for us and our grandchildren. Reasonably priced too. Would be better if parking was free

Helpful staff and a good facility. Bit noisey for the rustic 20 uear old we had with us even after the party lanes finishe. Not a criticism just an observation to help others

Low staff
Me and my friend went into the bar area to grab a drink before going up to the cinema. However, we were unable to get a drink as there were no staff to be seen. We sat and waited at a table for 40 mins and a staff member showed up at the bar as we were leaving. There was also rubish and empty glasses on a number of tables.

Bad customer care
We took a huge school trip that we had booked 10 months in advance. We paid 2 weeks before, as per the terms and conditions. When we got there the (very rude) manager told us that we hadn't paid and we weren't allowed to play unless we paid by card. They made all of the students stand outside in 35 degrees. They finally found the paid invoice but still weren't apologetic. Bad customer care

Not too busy and quick to check in.
However the balls are filthy, I don’t like touching them or putting my fingers in them, I don’t like kids using them, it’s a health hazard. I really think yuu need to disinfect them and visibly show that they are being cleaned regularly. The idea of eating snacks with fingers at the same time as using those balls is revolting.

Karaoke at Tenpin Cambridge
We had a 12th birthday party at Tenpin Cambridge, the girls had a great time but the screen was set to 30 mins less than I had booked for and I had to find someone to add the extra time when it stopped. We also ordered pizza for a specific time as one person was leaving early but the order was not put through, even though I went to follow up twice before being informed that the order hadn't been sent to the kitchen. A bonus is that the rooms are airconditioned and if you ask at reception they will give you a discount for the parking.

However, we are very sorry to hear about the issues with the time in the room and the food order and we will make sure that this is passed across to the relevant team for future improvements.

Had a good time, but could be cleaner
4 of us went bowling to Tenpin and we had a good time, but with one issue.
The good:
- on arrival we were first told we will have to wait longer than expected for our lane. However, another member of the staff found a free lane, so in the end we were actually able to start quicker than planned
- there were no technical glitches with the lane and everything worked as it should
- drink ordering online was convenient and our drinks arrived relatively quickly
The bad:
- when we arrived, the table in our lane was absolutely filthy. It was full of old glasses, and the table itself was sticky from spilled drinks. We played 2 games and no-one at any point came to clean it up, even though they brought our drinks and saw the state of it (there was barely any space to put our drinks on). Perhaps we could have chased the staff and asked them to clean it, but I don't think we should have to do it.
Overall, we enjoyed the game, but the cleanliness levels spoiled our experience a bit.

Great party
Great party, very smooth . Helpful staff. Balloons were a great hit with the kids.
The only thing was - two pizza slises seemed too little.
