Levi made us feel welcome. His attitude contributed to the evening. We had a great time. The only glitch was the microphone. This was rather annoying. Levi sorted it out for us

Taking my daughter to a summertime singing activity. The staff was very friendly to us and gave us the same amount of time to sing even though we were a bit late on the booking date.

After coming here for a fun afternoon…
After coming here for a fun afternoon we were highly disappointed with our trip.
We were a group of 8 and although we were quickly located to our lanes I was disappointed with the service. We came to do 2 games and a meal. When booking for a 2pm slot initially I had in mind that when we finished bowling we would be seated for our food afterwards (as this is what normally happens when we have come before) so I did this intentionally so we would be feeding children around dinner time. Not even a game in, and food comes to the lanes but because we hadn’t long had lunch we wasn’t overly hungry. It became chaos trying to play the bowling aswell as eating with young children who struggled to sit and eat. We then tried to order drinks on the QR code which didn’t work, went to the bar area then it took nearly 30 minutes for a pitcher of squash and 4 Pepsis to arrive to our lanes. It was just disappointing for the amount of money we spent on what was meant to be a fun day out. Certainly not in a rush to return which is a shame because before this experience it was a firm favourite and we have been many times in the past.

DO NOT WASTE YOURE MONEY ON THE FOOD
The bowling was great but I booked a meal along side it as a part of the half term deal. We ordered two chicken nuggets and chips and one cheese burger and chips. The worst food we have ever had anywhere. We actually left it all and went to McDonald’s instead. Go bowling but eat somewhere else. Not worth the money.

Varied activities, ok quality, could be better
Varied activities which is great, host could have been better for escape room she was a bit grumpy initially when we first went in (not in character) but when she came back in character she was great.
Bowling wise they’ve now put far too many lanes in and they are so narrow and there’s only a “walkway” between every other alley which means the people bowling either side of you affect your game and you kind of have to wait for them to go and go in between their go. I do also believe the lanes to be wonky and that’s not just my gameplay! They are also string pins now which is a real shame, miss it when it was the normal pins as it was a billion times better.
Arcade wise there’s a lot to choose from but very repetitive.
Pool tables are okay and contactless at £2 a game, again quite squished together and the cues are not the best and definitely need replacing.
Overall I only suggest going when they have a deal on, I would not pay full price for anything.
