Poor
Made a booking for laser tag that the staff were unprepared for and had to find someone to run it. Grumpy teenage boy ended up running it as was visibly getting annoyed with excited 8 year old boys.

Good hot - table etc. clean. Booking process easy.
No drinks allowed in is a big issue for me as my autistic child will only drink Tesco apple and strawberry… so if you wish to sell this then I will stop bringing in his own drink. - rude staff member saying we can’t bring our own drinks in…

Soft play and "lunch"
I started off with my 5 year old niece in the soft play area, the lady on the desk seemed completely uninterested by anything and we didn't even get a smile. There were children definitely not following the rules of the soft play and the height restrictions were not being followed, I witnessed children being pushed and generally mistreating the equipment. We then had lunch which I ordered at 11:40..... it arrived at 12:10, it was stone cold and the woman that brought it out slid it along the table and left. The food was nit if good enough quality to reflect the price. The tables were unclean and there were staff just stood behind the bar area chatting. We moved onto the arcade area and got 110 tickets which was enough for one small sweet, its extortionate. I am generally unimpressed with the whole experience and won't be recommending visits to people I know.
