Easy entrance, polite assistant and lane immediately available. Like the private seating near the lane, handy for people who are taking people but not bowling themselves. Parking outside a bonus.

I have not visited for several years and was pleasantly surprised. The whole place had a great feel, booking ran on time, toilets were clean and staff were very helpful and polite.

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... See more

Good
Good place to go to hang out with friends or family but prices are quite high! Furthermore, when I visited last time, their machines were broken (basketball etc) and it took my money, had to wait 20 minutes for a refund…

Selection of balls is not good
Selection of balls is not good. I'd prefer a ball with larger finger holes but lighter. The lighter balls seem only to have small finger holes. Also most of the balls are chipped.

Generally a good experience
Generally a good experience, but did have to spend time looking for the right size bowling balls, due to the limited number available. I would bring my grandchildren along more often for a bowling experience, if it was more reasonably priced.

Always love to bring the kids
Always love to bring the kids, however the food isnt very good but it is expensive. Good vibes, excellent entertainment, terrible food.
I have brought the food issue up to staff multiple times, the staff are always friendly and helpful, I feel the issue is further up the chain and not a reflection on the staff themselves, I felt I should add this and that is why I will always bring my children to tenpin.
We have been offered replacement food but its not the way the food is cooked, its cheap food at not cheap prices, and I hope it can be rectified.
But the place is always clean, fun and friendly the staff are super helpful and kind.

Bowling good staff responses could be improved.
Bowling good, was busy due to offer although only one bar staff member so I gave up as not even sure which end was the start of the queue. On returning later when quieter got the wrong drinks. Bar person who also was at the desk on entrance asked if I’d made the ten pound note as it was a new note. On arrival to check in she was crouched on the floor. I would not return, too chaotic.

Great customer service
I didn’t attend but my husband took our son and his friend. Good, efficient service. I originally booked to go aswell but I was ill so couldn’t attended. They gave us a voucher for 2 games for what I had missed. I wasn’t expecting anything so I’m happy we didn’t lose out as we’ll be back and I can use my voucher.

Having paid for burgers and chips for our party, the food was inedible.
Rather than complain, I ordered two large pizzas. Again, these were inedible. We had planned to be there for the day, but left and went to Wagamama for a late lunch. We will not return.
