I have put in a formal complaint about the service received and nobody has had the decency to respond. Service from start to finish was very poor. The bowling itself was enjoyed by the grandchildren... See more

Average overpriced food

Average overpriced food, overpriced drinks, and even with a deal a very expensive 90 minutes. Not a bad experience, but not one I would repeat. Enhancing the food quality (and it would need a significant improvement) would bring me back, otherwise there are better, cheaper options available nearby.

We did not enjoy the experience as much as we have previously enjoyed Tenpin in Crewe. The Chester site does not have suitable tables and chairs for eating and relaxing. There are too many steps including one up to the bowling area

Ex-Cartel tenpin staff threatened my life after asking for a refund when they scammed me

We were sitting in the photo booth taking our pictures as we were they turned the power off on that specific machine started giving us verbal and not giving us our money back then they started threatening us saying they would put hands on us and use illegal forms of action we were rather scared for our life as they were blocking the exits and to make it even worse at one point he was saying I'll go behind the bar whip out my machete and hack your little head off as if he was some sort of mexican cartel boss and that he would end my puny little pathetic life so I shan't be returning to this awful establishment as I had a horrific experience and genuinely feared for my life
