Staff are slow and slow to serve at counter there can be 4 members of staff behind the counter but the one serving has to change a barrel leaving queues we don’t order off the app any more because we can finish 3 games of bowling before drinks and food even arrive

Great birthday outing
Staff brilliant, food good value and came out hot. Seating area cleaned between teams. Only downside, if you are a large team over two lanes, you can’t sit and chat but on the plus side the noise is reduced from the other lanes.

Went with my two boys
Went with my two boys, to the York alley. Although we scored a few strikes, it registered as a 9 each time, I did mention it to someone at the desk but it wasn't fixed. Not the end of the world but it struck me just how uninterested the staff there were.

Very competitively priced
Very competitively priced, would have cost more than twice as much to play at the same time at Hollywood Bowl York. Good facilities friendly, efficient and helpful staff.

Bowling with prepaid/ordered drinks
Booked bowling for 2 adults 3 children, at the time of booking i prepaid/ordered 3 slushies for the children, after 3 rounds drinks hadnt arrived, so went to question, got told he would look into it. Still nothing, almost 40mins into our approx 1hour game they finally arrived after having to go and question again, being told a ticket hadnt been produced, I know systems can fail, or person error but ...whole point of pre ordering is to save the messing around 🙄
