We waited nearly half an hour for the food and drinks. By the time everything arrived, the ice had melted into the drinks so they weren't drinkable and the food was cold.
The two games we had we all enjoyed but it was a let down for the food and drinks

Disapointing.
Despite pre booking we were allocated to a broken lane due to a school trip attending on the wrong day. The manager should have been transparent and we would have waited or come back.Following every bowl it got stuck, we had to wait up to 10 minutes for it to be addressed, we spent significantly more tome waiting than bowling, eventually we gave up. We were then made to wait another 20 minutes for the manager to issue a refund as she was in a meeting and no one else could do it. We found her people skills lacking and her excuses disengenuous. Terrible customer service which could have been avoided by honest communication.Annoyingly the manager hadnt advised us of the booking error until after we complained, however had informed the family on the broken lane next to us. Not acceptable.

It was a great afternoon but ……
It was a great afternoon
My only thing was … it wasn’t clear where the dedk was to book in
In Rochdale it’s been moved around but I did eventually find the dedk
I also had to ask for more bar staff to serve people
There was 2/3 people on the check in desk but there was no one that wanted serving
But the bar had serval people waiting

Long delays for a pre booked large group
We were a large group of parents and children (only children participating) booked a week prior online for 14, bowling food and darts. Our lanes (3 next to eachother) were not ready for 25 minutes after our slot. We checked in at the desk 5 mins before our booked time, having to entertain a group of 10yr olds in arcades for 25 minutes is very expensive - already paid £15 each for the bowling food and darts. Our food arrived before we even managed to get to our lanes. Not very well organised. The booking references didn't work for the darts so had to go back to desk to get help. Ordering drinks via the QR code was easy enough however the delay for drinks was poor, and then lots of what was ordered wasn't available.

So booked bowling and bough food when got there to find out no pizza bases left ok no problem then the lane broke on my sons turn and barriers stopped working to then wait 15 minutes to get moved to the next lane okay no problem all sorted but then to spend £30 in arcade and find out ticket machine was broken and my son could not cash his tickets I mean what was the point? -90 quid and a terrible experience

The friendless of the staff was brilliant and enable us to play our game in a lovely relaxed manner
The friendless of the staff. Explaining how to set the game up and general politeness. Also had a problem with one side of the bumper was quickly fixed without issue.

Filthy
Obviously we had a good time bowling but it was so dirty. When we arrived at our lane the last people were still there which is fine, but the mess they left behind that didn't get cleared up wasn't. The whole time we were there I didn't see a single person. Other lanes were in the same state too. Just wasn't fair to have to work around the mess. And the fact there were 5 plus people stood behind the bar just chatting made the whole experience even more annoying. Don't think ill be going back.
