No Air conditioning - was very warm inside and could tell people were visibly struggling (noticeably bar staff) which may explain why bar staff were not very friendly

Not fully disability compliant. Booking info provided advised one…
Booking info advised one person would be attending in a wheel chair. When I attended the booking desk I asked which lane was suitable and was advised all lanes fully accessible. Also was told disability access toilet was locked and was given a key to use.
At arrival once parked there is a kerb to go up to enter the doors-this maybe an issue for some wheelchair users. All bowling lanes are wide enough but there is a small step down to the bowling lane from the seating floor-anyone in a mechanized wheelchair would struggle to get past the seating and the step -my friend had a manual wheelchair fortunately. The disability access toilet was locked but anyone with a radar key can use it-this needs to be advised to customers

Not enough staff last night
Not enough staff last night. Needed help as our lanes kept saying error but nobody around so went to the desk and spoke to a lady who just pointed at the manager who was sat on the table behind on a laptop and just said “speak to the manager she’s there”. That wasn’t my job to do that, she should have done that.
Also at the same desk I waited around 5 minutes to be seen when there were 4 members of staff just standing there talking they could clearly see I was waiting to be seen. Not a very nice time last night which is a shame because we go hear quite a lot with our little boy and it was his 7th birthday too but I spent more time hanging around waiting to be served that I did actually bowling.

Disengaging staff
Staff didn’t look like they wanted to be there. No energy, not helpful. Didn’t give much information regarding the Laser tag considering it was our first time. Not very engaging.
Other than the staff the place is great

Lack of good service and hygiene
I went today with my two children who enjoyed the bowling and had an alright experience. However, my complaints lie with the food as well as the questionable behaviour from the staff. The food took too long to arrive and wasn't even warm, after the food I took the kids to the arcade to which a bloke was mopping the basket ball machines with a horrible looking black mop which caused my concern for my kids health if the place isn't clean properly. I wouldn't find myself visiting again if my kid's health is exposed.

Disappointing Food, Decent Arcade Experience
I visited on a Wednesday lunchtime with my godson for some food and a play in the arcade. After ordering our food, we waited 45 minutes. I eventually went to ask where it was and was told they hadn’t had staff available for the kitchen, but had just managed to find someone.
I couldn’t understand why this wasn’t mentioned earlier, especially when they brought our drinks over. The burgers were dreadful, although the chips and curly fries were nice. All the food was at least hot.
Afterwards, we went to the arcade, which has plenty of games, and we had a good time there.
I’d like to think the service is better during busier periods, as they explained they were short‑staffed at the time.

I expect better :S
The bowling, laser tag and arcade games are good .. but maybe because it was the weekend, the food order was not provided correctly, there was a delay in getting the replacement and everything just took too long - and that coupled with it was a kids bday party + the events are lined up back to back, did not help.

The new layout isn't user-friendly
The new layout isn't user-friendly. I really enjoy the ocassional visit to ten-pin, but I was very disappointed at the revised seating layout. You all sit in a narrow line of seats, facing the family opposite, which just doesn't work! And don't get me started about the cost.. If i hadn't booked the Friday special, it would have cost me £82 for 3 adults and 2 children, for the regular 2 games. Wont be back soon I'm afraid...

bad service
The service for the last 2 times we have been has been awful. Always a huge queue making you late for your booking. One of our group missed half of the game waiting for a coffee to be made. The machine then broke and he had to wait even longer for the manager to come and issue a refund. We then went in the arcade with our children who excitedly won some tickets. Sadly again the queue was far too long to wait in for them to get their prizes.
Something really needs doing about this. Such as another place to check in. And extra staff available to support this. This is our second visit since the refurb and we have been disappointed both times.

Poor choice of balls!
While I appreciate that it will always be busy, the choice of bowling balls was shocking. I would expect there to be enough of the “commonly used” balls to go around, instead all that was left on the racks was extra large and extra heavy, not ideal for my wife or anyone with less than gigantic hands. Looking up and down the lanes, all of them had only one or 2 balls (between the 2 lanes) that would be suitable for the average person. Any staff member that I saw either had food or drinks in their hands so couldn’t ask for assistance, and the queue at reception was ridiculous. Also, when checking in, my booking had “been moved by the system” so I had to wait longer until they could “squeeze me in” which I found very hard to understand when I had booked that very morning and had the confirmation email. All in all, I doubt I will be visiting again any time soon
