Not great
Not great. Food took so long to be bought to the lane that we had finished bowling by the time it was ready. When it arrived it was wrong, but in all honesty, my children were so hungry by this time they opted to eat what they had been given.
A lot of rubbish around and bins overflowing. All the change machines were empty as well, so we were unable to change up money to play the slots.

It was rubbish
It was rubbish
A 90 minute wait for pizza is just unacceptable
Worse still being lied to 4 times by staff including the manager is shocking
There were other customers who were treated worse than us

Shockingly bad customer service
Service was incredibly slow.
The lane we were in was dirty. Only 11.30 so should have been clean really.
The arcades were expensive and then the 4machines to change tokens to a ticket to get a gift wasn’t working. Had to queue twice to tell someone and they didn’t seem to know what to do. Several staff wandering aimlessly. No customer service at all

Staff were very helpful
Staff were very helpful , my grandson has food allergies and the young man made sure he checked with the kitchen about the suitability of the food and made arrangements to substitute foods for food that he could have.
I also had a problem registering players on the screen and again a member of staff was extremely helpful
My grandchildren had an enjoyable time bowling.

Rude staff
We had fun actually playing the bowling, but the staff were rude and didn’t seem to know what they were doing. When we arrived I gave my name and was told I didn’t have a booking; I retrieved my confirmation email and showed the woman behind the counter, who then proceeded to have a chat with the man behind the counter, clearly trying to hide the fact that they’d messed up because I could hear them saying they’d given out lane to somebody else…the man then told me we could have a lane, but we could only have it for 50 minutes and then we would have to leave. I questioned if this was part of the booking process and to confirm that I didn’t feel comfortable being rushed but the staff members clearly didn’t care.

Hello Samantha,
Thank you for taking the time to rate Tenpin Milton Keynes 3 stars. We are truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your booking and the service you received from our staff. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be told your booking was not found and then to feel rushed during your game. We will be sure to address your feedback with our team to prevent similar situations in the future. All the best ~ Laura
It was an ok experience
It was an ok experience. One of the bar staff wasn't particularly friendly and approached customers very bish bash bosh. We also booked for bowling and when we checked in we were told we would have to wait due to the lane not being ready yet. Then we were forgot about and we saw two other parties of being being given lanes before we went up to ask again.
We did witness a worrying incident and informed security who dealt with it very quickly. Overall it was ok.
