Great time lots of fun
Arrived a little early allocated our lane without delay.
On going to set up the camera wasn’t working, had to look to find a member of staff who changed our lane.
All great until a larger family came next to us, who were unruly and often running around in our lane space which was frustrating.
The auto bumpers are great.
Only down side is the frames for the kids are bent at the ends and make the balls go in the wrong direction.
Overall enjoyed it and will return..

Dirty table on our lane
Dirty table on our lane, feel like the cleanliness standards have gone well out of the window! Perhaps some stations of blueroll and cleaning spray would be handy. Staff took away all the glasses, but didnt bother to clean the surfaces. Would be useful to have some coat hooks attached to screens also.
Service was extremely slow and we didnt get started until 40 mins after our start time.

Birthday Treat
The staff at the venue are awesome! Really helpful and friendly. The venue itself is clean and tidy. The only reason why I am deducting one star is because the bowling balls are really past their best and could do with replacing. Other than that a really nice day out

Arrived 5 mins before bowling time
Got put on lane 1
Was told there was a 10 min delay which was fine
30 mins later still waiting, asked to be moved to another lane that was free with noone else on it
Got told no as someone else had booked it
35 min later I eventually got on the lane

Absolutely freezing in this place
Absolutely freezing in this place, didn't have a good time. Also thought it would be cheaper booking online but it works out more expensive as they have a booking fee, so annoying
