This eas our 1st time visiting York we normally go to Castleford as this is our closest. Excellent check in Excellent bar staff could not complain. We found it very compact on top of each other, also we was on lane 24 and at a certain point on the alley it rolled to the side as if he lane was not straight which was quite annoying especially with a child with needs. Also there didn't seem to be any weight in the pins , unfortunately this was a disappointing visit.

Disappointing
Difficult booking system and when needing to increase the number of games were forced to move lanes midway through with a child with special needs. This led to upset that wasn’t needed with better organisation.

As a 60 yr old male I could only find 2 balls that had large fingerholes so I could get my fingers in BOTH of which were HEAVY. Tis place obviously caters for women and children, not that it is wrong but more large holed balls would be nice and at least as low as 10 in weight.
