Great gaming experience but not a place to eat.
Bowling experience was fun. The lanes were ready at the mentioned time and were clean. We were not happy with the provided food. It was a big order for adults & The chicken wings were over fried and felt almost closed to burnt. The burgers ordered were too dry and the fries were mild hot and soggy. Very dissatisfied with the food experience and ended up throwing some part of food away which was very disheartening especially during such expensive times.

Overall good experience
It felt very noisy walking in, but once I was in my bowling lane it was absolutely fine. Good value for money if you get an offer. The games did feel short though! I liked the booths, it felt private and my personal belongings felt safe.

Always a good service when we go here.
This time was ok but lady at booking was a bit moody as I had to make 2 seperate bookings 1 for 1 child and 1 adult and 1 for another adult , when I asked about putting us all on the same lane she still proceeded to put us on seperate lanes when i asked to rectify it she got all moody and then called the manager over to sort .

Easy to book
Easy to book. Turn up be allocated lane(s) then go and bowl. Easy to add names.
Just not used to scores not being above the lane.
Seating area felt a little closed in.

We loved the bowling as usual but it was the first time we got food and in all honesty it wasn’t the best. Pizza was way to thin tasted like cheese on toast, fries were nice, but the burger wasn’t. Other than that we had a lovely time

Sir Review of Tenpin
Cody great and all staff friendly and helpful.
I do detest the strings on the bowling pins though. And the seating area is so unsociable - a bench facing screens - what have we become.

The worst experience ever
The worst experience ever. kept on getting fouls as throwing it too hard and being a big lad i am quite strong but no hulk... had to get a refund but the ping pong/table tennis is worth going there for a hour
