Everything was fine except the fact that charging isnt allowed. I mean, why is there even an electric socket if people canbt charge when their phone is dead

Kids bowling
Booked for 8 children for my daughter’s birthday. Really easy booking process. £100 for two games seemed fairly reasonable and was only £24 extra to feed them all so we decided to go for that too. Unfortunately the food wasn’t particularly great which is why I’ve only marked it 4 stars. Staff were mostly really helpful.
We didn’t book the party package as it only available from 10am which was too early for our plans. Would be good to have a later option for kids parties too.

Do not go to tenpin
The staff here are very rude, lazy and clueless. I ordered 1 drink to my table, sat there for almost an hour waiting for the drink as I’d gone to find a staff member and no one was to be seen. When I then spoke to a staff member they said that if you ordered a drink it would have come in to them however they apparently didn’t get any orders, I then showed them the email confirmation I got for them to go off for 10 mins and come back to say that someone had turned off their ticket machine. I didn’t get any apology from them a simple I am really sorry about this would have been nice considering my child is autistic and was really thirsty. I am very disappointed and I will NEVER go back there again!

Awful staff
Staff were incredibly rude. Pizza was burnt to a crisp. My family were visiting who I haven’t seen in a while and i thought it would be a nice time. Felt incredibly uncomfortable due to staff huffing and puffing whenever we came to them with an issue with the venue. They sent us to a lane which was full of rubbish & empty glasses, I went over and asked if someone could clear the space and the staff member rolled his eyes at me and sent us to another lane. This lane had a broken bumper which wouldn’t come up for the kids. When I asked if they could fix it he (again) rolled his eyes and his version of fixing it was ragging it up so that it then didn’t go down for anyone else’s rounds & stayed up the entire time. I honestly felt too uncomfortable to even ask again. We ordered a lot of food & each pizza was incredibly burnt and the burger was dry. We had to remind them that we ordered one more pizza which hadn’t came. I did give it a while as I thought they’d bring it out, but they don’t & this pizzas base was completely black. I initially bought the deal where we get a pizza included in the booking and when i asked what we do about this (if we have to let them know or do they just bring it over) and the staff said ‘you’ll get it when you get it’. We also took the kids to the arcade and barely any of the games worked properly, had to ask staff to help again and they would take a very long time. As someone who has planned work dos here and enjoyed our time previously, I thought it would be a good place to take a family. Won’t be returning again - awful experience.

Overall enjoyed the bowling but check in needs to improve
Overall enjoyed the bowling and it's nice modern set up with private lane booths.
Negative was the staff at check-in didn't explain anything and we stood waiting for a while, went to toilets and ordered drinks before arriving at the lane. We had paid for an hour and then had already used 15mins (obviously time starts when check in at desk) but this wasn't explained or clear. Found that annoying.

I had mistakenly booked for two junior’s when actually only one was attending. The reception staff would neither amend the booking or allow another game or voucher. Very poor customer experience

Hi Lee

Great deals but poor food.
We used the deal 6 bowling with pizza for £39 and karaoke.
Great deal. Only complaint would be having the food come out mid game. Asked for it to come out after the hour bowling but it came out during and at 11am.
The food is quite poor. Had a party in the past - party very good but Children’s party pizza is rock hard dough and horrible cheese - these are ordered in specifically for the party. I also ordered separate pizza and it was burnt charcoal black on the bottom - really inedible. The food does put me off booking a party to be honest.
The staff are friendly and the party leader has always been great.
