Customer service was terrible
Customer service was terrible, we was told staff and managers would come and see us and help us no one showed, waited 40 mins for food after being told it was 10 minutes and the food was that bad it went back and we got a refund!

Inattentive staff, poor value for money
Inattentive staff. Extremely loud music. So loud that one can hardly have a conversation.
Our alley broke down twice.

All 4 lanes worked well without any breakdowns, as we had quite a few people with physical disabilities, there could have been more than two ramps to access the alley itself.

Hello Adrian, We're glad to hear that all lanes worked well for your group. We appreciate your feedback regarding the limited number of ramps and will consider this for future accessibility improvements. We do hope to see you again soon. Many Thanks - Kimberley
I had a deeply disappointing experience…
I had a deeply disappointing experience at the Cambridge site. I was in town meeting friends and family, and what was meant to be a fun afternoon turned into a very frustrating one.
We were a group of 12, spent around £180 on the lanes and also ordered food. Unfortunately, the food service was extremely poor. During our second game, I ordered two more portions of curly fries for the kids. After waiting 30 minutes with nothing arriving, I approached staff and explained that we were nearly finished with our game. I was told the food would be with us in two minutes. It never arrived.
Once we finished, I went to the counter to cancel the order as we were leaving. I was then told the food was ready and that someone had attempted to deliver it but had been told it wasn’t theirs. That may be possible, as half our group had finished early and their lane had been reassigned. Apparently the food had been brought over, but none of us saw it. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that we may have been distracted by the game, however, the issue was never properly resolved. Even though I repeatedly told when I placed the food order that we are on lanes 11 and 12.
What surprised me most was the lack of ownership and attentiveness. When I expressed my frustration about the delay and handling of the situation, I was told I was being “rude”, and this came from managers. At that point, I simply walked out as I couldn’t be bothered to argue further.
A £10 refund is not going to make anyone rich, especially when I had already spent over £200. This was about courtesy, accountability, and basic customer service — all of which were significantly lacking. There is clearly room for improvement in staff training, particularly how customer concerns are handled.
I won’t be returning to Tenpin nor would anyone in our group.

Staff lovely
Staff lovely. The cleanliness wasn't great. Rubbish on floors and tables, tables dirty. Our lane was full of empty glasses and sticky table, surely this should of been checked and cleaned after the last bowlers, ready for the new bowlers, would of made our bowling experience a lot nicer.

Great place to be for a fun game night out
It was a lovely night out at Tenpin. We had lots of fun playing bowling and other games. The staff were helpful, drinks of choice were available. However, cleanliness of the environment leaves much to be desired. From the tables at the bar area to the toilets. I understand its a busy place but clearing tables after they have been used doesn’t take an awful lot of time. The loos aren’t cleaned frequently to maintain hygiene. One lady had to shout for a tissue while using the toilet and the lady in the next cubicle helped her with one. It would be great to see changes in these areas.

Day out with friends
The control panel was easy to use and play was effortless.
We played pool afterwards, you just tapped your card to play.
Good fun.

Good but karaoke equipment needs updating
We had a good time but it took some time to get set up. We came for karaoke but the microphones weren't working, we were told they'd run out of batteries and staff had to go out and buy some, then we switched rooms which was fine - though one of the mics in the new room didn't work very well and the other had to stay attached to the wall. We got our full hour's worth of time though.

They don’t give a c*%p about disabled guests
Disabled toilets were out of order with a sign that looked quite old. Luckily the cinema two floors above kindly allowed disabled guests to use their facilities.
Sadly I met someone else in the queue who said it was an ongoing issue.
Short version- this branch of Hollywood Bowl do not care about disabled guests or their duties to provide reasonable adjustments under the equality act.
