The overall experience was lovely and good staff but the multiple emails asking for reviews were annoying which ultimately brought the experience down.

Great value!
Couldn’t fault it - half price Tuesday. Great price bowing and drinks. Lane was reserved and ready early. Considering it was 6pm in the Easter holidays I was very impressed

Weren't very please with contact less in arcade
Bowling and staff was good. But very dislike how arcade machine mainly contact less which ruined it for us as arcade should be coins or contactless like at Hollywood bowls is. So for us we didn't spend money at arcade as it was contactless which was rubbish really but overall bowling was good.

Not a great experience.
We were a booking of two adults and one child. Booking was easy and correct, upon arriving to the lane it was messy and the camera on the screen did not work. We then moved to the arcade machines and some were out of order, we then attempted to play one game it took our credits but the game didn't start. Considering there is another bowling alley in Swindon I'd be using that one next.

Sadly the experience wasn’t very good…
Sadly the experience wasn’t very good for us. We took the kids bowling during half term, which I appreciate was a busy time. Long queues to check in, took over 10 minutes to be served to get a drink and 2 bowls though our second game, the bumper seemed to stop working and I rang the assistance bell and when no one turned up after 10 minutes I went to find a member of staff. I reported it to them and then they radioed it in and we went back to wait for help. Nothing happened and time was ticking on so we had to continue without them, which my young daughter was upset about as she ended up losing! On the way out I was going to give feedback, but as we were leaving I saw the massive queue of people still waiting to check in and honestly couldn’t be bothered to wait in another queue again, so we just left.
I absolutely appreciate half terms are busy, but I would have imagined you would have been prepared for this with more staff, and there was no communication about the broken bumpers or any updates to this.
