The worker behind the counter was quite rude. She was probably in a really bad mood. My boyfriend and I were very confused why she was taking it out on us when we were just having a nice date.

Not a great deal

We couldn't find the bowling ball weight we wanted, the lane appeared bumpy which affected the rolling of the bowling balls, the food was mediocre ar best and the service was quite slow. The adult food portion wouldn't feed my teens, let alone an adult and the burgers were plain (no sauces, no salad no garnish) and we were offered no condiments. It seemed like good value but in reality, it wasn't worth the money.

Customer service really good

Customer service really good, we couldn't make a previous booking and when I spoke to them they were very understanding and helpful.
Lovely afternoon with my family.
The only issue I had was some of the bowling balls had wear & tear on them and had grooves in them which slowed them done alittle.

Family Bowling

The lane we were allocated hadn’t even been cleared from the previous people, despite it being very quite for a Saturday
I asked if the table could be wiped down, however someone arrived to do and wiped the lane next to us that was clean!! I ended up moving used food cartons and empty glasses so we could put our drinks down

Tenpin 10/10

It was a lovely visit i had initially wanted to use my daughters birthday return voucher but wasn't able to get the code straight away but I paid for this visit instead. We did the family deal with a pizza included which I thought was a fab price we also able to add fries to our order too. We had a really good time and the staff were friendly and helpful
It was a pleasant family time out
