The staff were welcoming, just sort the toilets
The staff were welcoming, we had pre booked, served straight away and lane was ready immediately, overall experience great, lots of fun, only reason downgraded a star was for the ladies toilets, sanitary bins with no lids is unsightly and unhygienic, the toilets always seem to be an afterthought of the experience,

Great service but red hot!
The service from the lassie was brilliant. She was running the bar and check in all by herself whilst a guy stood and did nothing (well done gal!) the only thing was that it was absolutely red got outside and just as hot inside, we asked for the air con to be put on but she said it was already on! Maybe an upgrades due for summer months. But we had a good evening celebrating my partners birthday

Just dont order food, go maccies or burger king around the corner
I went n a Sunday with my 3 kids they enjoyed themselves the staff were friendly. Only down side is that the food order took way too long and was over priced for the basic food it was, i ordered before the 4 of us started out 2nd game and the food arrived nearly 30 minutes after we finished the second game so we had to hang about for basic overpriced food at a lane we had finished on. Other than that it was a great day

Had our son’s birthday party at tenpin
Had our son’s birthday party at tenpin. The children enjoyed the bowling. The only issue we had was the food was out 20minutes later than we agreed and therefore the children got wrest-less while waiting. We could have continued to bowl but the staff assured the food would be out on time. We still had a good experience overall.

First time I’ve been to Doncaster Bowl…
First time I’ve been to Doncaster Bowl since it’s all changed. Haven’t been for many years. We had a family afternoon there and had great fun . Staff very friendly, good served to your booth ie; burgers, chips etc
Another bonus is you don’t have to hire those appalling bowling shoes anymore. 👏👏👏🎳🎳 brilliant location for family afternoon with other restaurants and cinema around . Booked family ticket to make it a little cheaper.
