Poor bowling experience due to pins being tethered on strings
I tried to book 3 games of bowling for a party of 6 adults for my son's Birthday through the website, but it would not process my payment. I had to telephone to complete the transaction.
Onsite, we placed a drinks order. All but one drink was brought to the lane & we had to go to the reception desk to reorder the missing drink.
Having previously bowled many times at alleys with loose pins, there is a definite difference in the experience when the pins are on strings. Pins which had fallen were sometimes not scored whilst pins which had not fallen were sometimes scored. Also, the stringed pins did not always move in the same way as loose pins do, making it more a game of luck than skill.
The staff we communicated with both onsite & through the booking process were polite & friendly, but I would not use this bowling alley again due to the poor playing experience.

AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK
The air-conditioning was either not working or couldn't cope.
The room was so hot without any air.
The children were not happy and didn't want to stay.
A complete waste of £80
Also music was so loud, the receptionist misheard my name and gave us wrong booking, we then got our food during our games instead of after. wouldn't visit again unless these issues are resolved.
On the plus side the staff were all very helpful.

Was a good afternoon
Was a good afternoon. Apart from the incident with panda mama, there fire alarm went of causing the tenpin at Wakefield to go off. So we ended up been outside at the firepoint an then the front entrance for a while. But other than that had a great time. Looks great inside. Lots to do.

Good and bad….
Good: Great location, easy access & good parking. Interactive darts setup great. Bowling and other activities looked good.
Good/Bad: Only one bar staff working, She was good, but she was rushed off her feet & at times people waiting for drinks were getting frustrated. More annoyingly there were several ‘team’ members standing around chatting who could have helped and at the very least served soft drinks.
BAD: The room was stiflingly hot, aircon was nonexistent and with because the bar service slow the birthday celebration was slightly marred.
