Poor customer service
We arrived 5 minutes early for our pre-booked bowling. It was clear to see that they were short staffed, as the were only 2 staff members that we saw. It took 10 minutes for us to be booked in, due to the amount of people queuing in front of us at reception, and the bar area. There were other customers coming to the bar as the ticket counter machines were out of order (we found out later that this was because the ticket hubs inside were full and needed to be emptied, but the staff had prioritised responding to customers at the bar and reception).
We had a great time bowling, and enjoyed the drinks and snacks.
Myself and 2 children went to the arcade afterwards and won tickets. The 3 ticket counters weren’t working, all showing error codes and there were 2 families in front of us who had let staff know about the problem. It took 15 minutes for someone to cover over (who emptied the bin inside, and this solved the problem). Due to one of my children being bored due to the wait, they had been playing on one of the machines, and the tickets had come to the end of the roll, so again, this showed an error message. We went to the bar twice, asking for some assistance. We waited 20 minutes for someone to come over. The gentleman was apologetic for the wait, and when asked the reasons for staff shortages, he said hours had been cut. I asked to speak to the manager, as we were late for a table we had reserved for lunch. I was told they were in the office doing paperwork, and I said I wanted to express my dissatisfaction. A female to speak with me 5 minutes later. She presented with an uncaring attitude towards our experience, stating that she was only the supervisor, and that if I was unhappy, I should leave a review. She gave me a card with a qr code on it.
I will not be rushing back to go bowling again due to the poor experience I encountered. It is expensive to go bowling and the arcade and I would have expected a higher level of customer care than what I received, especially given that it was school holidays.

Hello Sam, First off thanks for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you had a great time bowling and enjoyed the drinks/snacks. However, we're really sorry to hear of the disappointment caused at your recent visit.

It was my daughters birthday and she throughly enjoyed it although it was very busy and they were very short staffed, the 2 ladies at reception were working their backs off and still had a smile and were very helpful and chatting, they deserve a medal for the work they were doing.
