Great atmosphere, the kids absolutely loved it and, with special offers, wasn't too out of our price range!! Friendly staff, clean, OK prices on drinks. Great experience!!

Just one problem this time. On arrival we were told to use alley no 3. We had our grandsons with us and they use the optional side barriers for their bowling. It wasn't until the 3rd bowl for the boys... See more

We had a great family day out bowling and there Is plenty to do however the game kept stopping as there were too many balls on each stand apparently. I feel it isn't our job to be arranging the balls... See more

We came for my daughter’s 12th birthday. She and the majority of those bowling have special needs so we were a little bit nervous about it beforehand. However, your staff (Rosalind and Emma I think) were lovely, very helpful, really good with the children and the whole experience was lovely. They even got me another panini and brought it over after it accidentally got knocked on the floor! Please thank the two of them so much for making it such a memorable experience, and we will definitely be recommending you and coming again soon! Thank you so much! Rob and Andrea Skinner

It's a great bowling alley. Always clean and lanes available. There's lots of other extra activities available too. Suitable for all the family. We especially enjoy it when the half term offers are on. It makes it more affordable for us as a young family.

Great variety of activities …
I booked the karaoke for my daughter and her friends and went bowling while they were there. Felt very safe to leave them in the allocated room. Quick set up, no delays and timings all worked well.
