Staff were really friendly and communication was good, easy to book online. Shoes readily available if needed. Food was a bit slow on arrival, but on the whole a good experience.

Staff friendly, helpful & welcoming. Game technology excellent - intuitive to use for a technophobe. To improve the balls could be cleaner (they felt a bit sticky).
The place feels much more spacious after the renovation. The seating area around each lane is also much cleaner than before, with clean tables and seats. The reception area is much bigger too, which m... See more

Great deal, freezing venue.
Great venue, staff extremely helpful. We arrived early but our lane was ready. The Thursday deal of 2 games and drink for £10 was great value. Only reason Tenpin gets 3 stars. It was Freezing 🥶 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 air con was on full blast at the end of January. Had to bowl in my coat as I was so cold.

Paid for 2 games but the time allotted…
Paid for 2 games but the time allotted did not consider the time necessary for two children under 12yrs old and one with with SEN to conclude their game independently. Meaning it was rushed and child with SEN felt upset viewing it as their personal failure.

Restaurant area
I have never seen such an untidy, dirty, un kept restaurant area. Although I appreciate it must have been a busy Saturday afternoon we arrived at 6pm and stayed for approx 3 hours, most tables remained uncleared and I didn’t see any staff member make any attempt to hoover, sweep any of the food or litter off the floor or clean a table. I picked up most of the litter/food from under our table and cleared the rubbish just so our party of 10 could sit down and eat somewhere. It was disgusting and taking into account the amount of staff on the shift when we arrived this could have been quickly turned around. I even watched a member of staff walk over a coat which had fallen on the floor with no attempt to hang it back on the chair it had obviously fallen off. Although the bowling worked well and the food was good I wouldn’t return as the restaurant area was absolutely filthy.

Enjoyable visit, BUT.......
Efficient staff member on front desk. I had ordered on line so she was quickly able to direct us to the allotted lane to begin bowling. The only disappointment was regarding the games machines in an adjacent area. One of these asks customers to spin a wheel and depending on the prize, then gives tickets which can be exchanged for sweets/toys etc. Every time we have used this type of machine it always fails to give the full amount that has been won. My grandson told a member of staff about the problem and stood by the machine, but no one came to sort it out. It's definitely not a one off issue as it has happened on our last 3 visits. Once again spoiled the trip for my grandson.

One game of bowling and 1 hour…Nottm
One game of bowling and 1 hour kareoke just over £100 (6 people). It was very cold inside the evening we went and unfortunately the food was cold and a little like cardboard! It wasn’t ready before our bowling game started so staff kindly agreed to bring it to us but something went wrong and staff said they hadn’t got the message. The team were doing their best on a busy evening

Bowling is great but the seating is naff if you’re expected to eat and play. No space for food to go while playing if there’s more than 2 players.
Also the bathrooms always stink like they have never been deep cleaned
