Despite having a refurb on always a delightful experience here. The beer was a bit off but the lady walking round sorted us out and replaced the beers. Always a lovely time

Pins on strings are not for me
Firstly, the place was clean and, as not very busy, the service was quick whilst the lane was set up with a good selection of bowling balls. There's the two stars scored. However, the big gripes - They didn't have any bowling shoes in my size (10, hardly extreme) and the person serving seemed quite put out that I wanted to use bowling shoes. Secondly, £48 for two games for three people (including 2 teenagers) is very steep. And thirdly, the pins are on strings as opposed to free fall. I hate this and it's known that this suppresses pin fall by around 10%. Might be lower maintenance but it's just saving cost at the expense of customer enjoyment. I will not return for this reason alone, let alone the others.

Drinks were great and the bowling itself was easy and fun. Downside was the amount of the photobooth but other than that it was a brilliant time.

The venue
The venue, staff are excellent. The pizza was not good quality, they've changed the bases to cheaper premade and for £11 each not great, think cheapest supermarket option you can buy. The bowling balls need to be replaced they're all pretty damaged now.
