Kids loved it
Kids loved it. Especially because of the frame it was inclusive for all ages. The bowling bowls were of different weights too which I thought was quite thoughtful

Not the best!
The experience for my son’s birthday party was not the best. On arrival we were charged £72 despite already paying the balance of the party a week prior. The refund was processed, after we showed proof of payment and it was clear they had charged us for someone else’s party. The Manager was not very friendly and seems very annoyed to be having to process the refund. The laser tag was supposed to start at 5pm but the boys didn’t go in until about 5.10pm and therefore did not get the full hour. The food was ok but portions weren’t great. It was a very busy night and whilst we had a reserved table near the kitchen - I had to keep asking for food and the birthday cake to be brought out. Other venues have a private party room with a dedicated member of staff. On the whole staff were friendly and helpful and the birthday gift bag was good.

The young girls that set up all the games, balloons and cakes were brilliant. The bowling itself can get a bit repetitive for 2 hours so having all the extra activities made a huge difference. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Explained everything brilliantly and dealt with all the children with kindness and fun.

Pig sty is cleaner
Having booked a lane for 2 games of bowling on Saturday night. We arrive and booked in. Headed to our to start. The lane still had old drinks on from the previous people(I assume).
My wife went to the bar and had to over 15 minutes to be served.
Our food arrived, no attempt was made remove and empty glasses.
We ordered another round of drinks through the app and this time waited over 20 minutes to arrive(2 soft drinks) again they just placed down and no attempt to remove any empty glass or food containers.
The entire gaming area was full empty drinks and waste food containers.
It was pretty disgusting really. We left as soon after as we got fed up of moving empty glasses to try and play and games.
It wasn't that busy either for a Saturda night.

Rude staff/ poor customer service
All of the staff except 1 (deputy manager) that we encountered were rude either by ignoring us and chatting away to each other at the welcome desk, and one young women was particularly bad arguing with her manager in front of customers and raising her voice at a member of our party and then storming off. I will not be going back to this place again. The deputy manager was very understanding when I complained and apologised for the behaviour.

The staff were so friendly and helpful
The staff were so friendly and helpful. I took my four under 9 years old grandchildren there. Hadn’t been before. A lovely staff member showed me how to put the children’s names on the screen and how to set the bumpers up. Another staff member brought the food. It was a stress free experience for all of us. Thanks.

Great staffing prevented a complaint
We returned to Parrswood today after initially attending on Tuesday 17th. On the 17th we were due to play lazer tag but due to an error in the room it wasn’t available. Today when we arrived after rebooking for a second time we checked in and were asked to wait for our time. After waiting 25minutes we went back to the check in desk to discover we had been missed off our grouping by mistake. 30 minutes later than expected we were able to go into the lazer tag and had a session to ourselves. The young man over seeing the lazer tag was amazing and couldn’t have been anymore apologetic. He was extremely helpful, walked us through how the session would run and couldn’t have been any more accommodating. After some initial frustrations he definitely made the experience much better than it seemed like it was going to be.
