It’s a great bowling alley
It’s a great bowling alley - only issue was having to wait 24 minutes after the time I had booked at. Other than that, it was all good.

Poor customer service
Poor customer service, long queues and only one attendant, multiple errors and no one to attend and lots of waiting, food didn’t arrive till the end of the games. Food quality was poor. Hygiene was severely lacking.

The grandkids enjoyed the session
The grandkids enjoyed the session. The main dissapointing issue was parking as disabled person, there were blue badge spaces but a long walk from the entrance. At the entrance there were steep steps down to the door. Sadly won't return to this venue again 😞

Good discount on week days
Good discount on week days, we enjoyed a lot. But the bowling area is bit crowded and small places between the bowling area numbers. I think staff showed something like a favoriteism(Racism) between us and English people. They didn't respond when we went to enquiry and pay for the Bowling.

Had to move lanes 3 times as the system either didn’t add the scores up correctly, pins were not replaced for each person’s turn and new lanes started on different points of the game. Staff were busy but also very unhelpful.

We did a party
We did a party. It was ok wasn’t the best and the meal could have been a little bit better and more choices. Wasn’t the best organised and party hosts didn’t do much until 15 mins towards the end so kids kind of just fended for themselves

Book your bowling in advance
Make sure you speak loudly over the music so the staff hear your request right because they wont fix their mistakes.
We asked for 2 games of bowling as a group of 4 we and we showed them what tried to book online (2 games 4 people) they said okay its actually cheaper now so we thought great we got a deal paid and went to play but they'd only set the lane up for one game. When we asked about it they said oh well we didnt hear that and it not our problem. I'd suggest you book online to avoid this problem espically if you have excited kids to avoid the disappointment

The offer for birthdays is great and…
The offer for birthdays is great and over and above what other venues have on offer but it felt a little like we were afterthoughts by the party hosts.
There were lots of parties on at the same time and the staff while lovely and friendly when we did interact felt like they were more attentive to other parties.
It could get busy and overwhelming for all.
The staff did a great job with how much was expected of them and would still book again as the kids loved the experience and were entertained.
