We come here often
We come here often, the staff are always friendly, helpful, busy doing their job and keep an eye on the place. It’s full of families and kids of all ages. The deals are great, 2 weekly, then in school holidays. Sign up for emails. The soft drinks sometimes taste flat and the food is standard - a few nuggets or simple cheeseburger and fries, nothing to rave about but it keeps the kids happy. Lots of game machines, table tennis, so bring cash to convert to pound coins. Bowling is great fun, can’t comment on laser tag as never done it. Open New Year’s Eve and full of families then with children of all ages, so a fun place to attend. Large free carpark out front, on the prom with other places next to it, so lots to do.

Overall very good
Overall very good. The bowling lanes are clean and in good condition. My only frustration is that we have a long queue waiting for others to trade in their tickets for prizes. Is 2 staff are available then 1 could handle bowling and 1 the tickets

Kids really enjoyed our visit
Kids really enjoyed our visit, loved being able to spend time with them. Our only problem was the food service was not very good, we had to wait over 40 minutes for our lunch.

Facilities need improvement
Bowling was great. We did have a 20 minute delay and a technical issue with our lane half way through. Food was brought out in a timely manner. Facilities however need looking at cleanliness of toilets when bringing families should be kept on top of!!

First time bowling in many years
First time bowling in many years, easy to book and quickly allocated lane to play. Enjoyed bowling experience, but it was more like an amusement arcade than bowling alley. Used Easter Bank Holiday offer, so it was quite reasonably priced for a treat.

Was booked in for 12pm
Was booked in for 12pm. Arrived as email instructions said at 11:45. Server said lane will be available at 12. Waited until 12 nothing so went back was told it’s a party over running a lane will be ready at 12.10 watch for our names on the screen. 12.10 came and went still not ready and went back to the server whinge just activated the lane. Was just 2 of us bowling and tbh £15 for 25 mins as it’s a max of 10 goes each was expensive

Southport Bowling
We enjoyed our visit and had fun but when we first arrived it was so very dark. I think light came on after a while. It is very noise but of course that is just due to the hockey games etc and number of people. Can’t be helped
