We had a lovely afternoon with the Grandkids
We had a lovely afternoon we arrived early and the receptionist offered us an earlier slot as they did have availability. Lots of fun and laughter. Staff were very busy and efficient. After the boys played on some of the games, they love the pool tables and one of the scarry rides. As always a little gamble they handed in their tokens and got a boiled fruit lolly that pleased them! Booking was easy as was booking in. Easy to park and if we had wanted to eat there looked like a great selection.

Poor
Made a booking for laser tag that the staff were unprepared for and had to find someone to run it. Grumpy teenage boy ended up running it as was visibly getting annoyed with excited 8 year old boys.

Good
Good hot - table etc. clean. Booking process easy.
No drinks allowed in is a big issue for me as my autistic child will only drink Tesco apple and strawberry… so if you wish to sell this then I will stop bringing in his own drink. - rude staff member saying we can’t bring our own drinks in…
