Bad experience

I paid for this as a treat for my daughter for her friends birthday. We paid for an hour of play and the lane broke down so they didn’t get the full hour. She said the staff were rude and miserable and practically threw the pizza at them. They then went to play in arcade and pool table took money and then change machine wasn’t working so they couldn’t get money to play in the arcade

Service with a smile would be great

Service with a smile would be great , very rude service and blunt, the blowing on my lane and lane next to us stopped working and we had to wait 10mins for it to be fixed and we payed for 1hour only got 50 minutes. The arcade pool tables took my pounds and didn’t work and the machine to change cash to coins didn’t work so we couldn’t use arcade after the pool took the pounds.

Quite an eventful night.

I made multiple strikes and ended up winning, easy. Then I hit the arcades and won, easy.

Quite an eventful night.

Friendly and attentive staff. Check their website for promotions to save money.

We have some friends visiting and decided last minute going bowling. At the place, we realised that it was much more expensive that we expected and decided to cancel it. However, the staff who attended us, gave us some advice and suggested to booking it online (despite we were already at the location) and apply for the online discount.
So we played two games, order some drinks and food and we had a great and funny afternoon.
We are grateful to the staff. They were also very friendly and attentive. The installations are great, the music is not too loud and allow conversation. The lanes seats are comfortable. There are good combinations of food and drinks when booking to save money.
My advice is to check previously on their website and ensure that you book with some of the deals, otherwise is expensive.

Great games

Booked a couple of games here.... we had children and pensioners in our group! Lanes were clean and ready, easy to check in and play. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perhaps music a little loud but we enjoyed our games.

Great bowing, very long wait for the food.

Bowing experience was as expected.
Barriers broken, did mention to the staff and they said it’s been like to for months.
Service was good, yet the food took absolutely ages and for food that simply goes in the fat fryer, an hour was too long. For bowling, yes it’s good, maybe pass on ordering food.

The bowling itself

The bowling itself, great fun. The boys loved the arcade too. The only downside was the boy/gents toilet was just a disgrace. With such a high volume of guests including children they need hourly checks. This will obviously increase the price of bowling.

Music way too loud

Very clean, fast drinks. But music was way too loud! We had to keep shouting at each other, gave up talking, even about the game. Bowling used to be a lovely sociable night out...now its a night club.

Fun bowling experience

We always enjoy bowling here as a family. The place is vibrant and the bowling is always a fun experience, though we find it can be difficult sometimes to find a ball of the right weight for all members of the group. It’s never a huge problem and is probably because the place is always busy. Parking is available at the multistorey close by and there are some lovely restaurants in the leisure park. Staff are occasionally a little slow to serve at the bar but they try hard and it seems to be an under-staffing problem at times. Having the pool tables and arcades is a great addition and makes a really fun day out. The arcades are now all cashless which makes things simpler.
