Really easy check in for bowling and a smooth process to start games, booking online is quite simple you just check which option you want to do and it explains what each one entails.

Couldn't get the bowling balls we wanted as other people were using them and no one would give us any. Spoilt the game as scores were down due to being uncomfortable with the equipment.

Barriers were inconsistent
Barriers were inconsistent. I had them down my son had them up. Half the time one side was up and the other down for my turn. We was on lane 10 so maybe needs looking into.

Bowling review
Our iPad selfie camera on the bowling alley wasn’t working. So we couldn’t take photos for our background or profile pictures. Also on 2 occasions food and drink orders were incorrect - nachos no jalapeños came with and a Pepsi max arrived instead of a lemonade.

Birthday party
We booked a karaoke birthday party, unfortunately it was very unorganised, the birthday child wasn't acknowledged at all, the cake wasn't brought in, batteries in the microphones needed changing several times before they would work at the start of the party so they lost some of the singing time and the birthday child didn't get their player 1 birthday gifts which was really disappointing.
It was a weekend and very busy which we understand, but we believed as a party we would have a someone to contact during the party to make sure everything was going well and help out when needed but this unfortunately wasn't the case. We have emailed twice but didn't receive a response.

The place was a mess and filthy
The place was a mess and filthy. Drinks, food and ketchup everywhere. It was like sitting in a bin. Absolutely furious spending £70 on 2 games of bowling and to be playing in such a grim dirty area.

Low staff
Hey guys.
Been a coupke times recently and while the staff been fairly nice and the set up is great, the place is so so understaffed!!
I did get apologies from a lovely manager who jumped in to serve people which was super to see but was far too busy for the little staff to deal with and some people were getting cross which i hate to see.
Food did take a whike to come but i assume this was due to the above issue and we had two lanes together as a party but food was brought at miles apart time wise even though we were there at same time.
Sorry guys but hopefully this will push the powers above to sort you some more staff! But as i said the manager lady could not aplogise more she was lovely so hats off to her and for jumping in with the team.

Issues with equipment
There was an issue with the lane which I understand cannot be helped but I had to ask 3 times if it could be dealt with. We was sat waiting 20minutes for someone to deal with it. Once they did it was fixed within seconds.
We then went onto an arcade game which is a timed game. This also malfunctioned and by the time it was sorted the time was up so was a waste of money.

Fantastic place let down by other visitors
The place it's self was fantastic easy to book with a 5 minute wait but we where early so not a problem. The down side we found was a family on a different lane who had 4 of the lighter balls for children who was not willing to part with one of them so my child was upset by having to use a heavier ball. There where no reason why they could not give us the ball but was told no when asked.

Dissatisfied with bowling at castleford.
We had a lot of fun bowling but the reason we gave a 3 was because the finger holes were not wide enough. All the lanes were full so we couldn't swap any bowling balls with others. The lane next to us had alot of young people but they didn't have any wide finger bowling balls. Also there was alot of chips in the bowling balls. When we go out we are not very competitive, we go out to have a good laugh and lots of fun which we did but the experience could have been better
