Tenpin york-bowling experience
Lovely fresh look so all nice and clean and a bit more open so feels less cramped. New machines. No queuing, managed to get our lane a few minutes early too.
Deducted one star as the keypad didn't work so had to visit reception twice who advised it was frozen and this often happens when busy so he had to add names manually, kids wanted to do bowling pic and couldn't.
Overall an enjoyable visit and will return.

Great time had by all
Great time had by all. We took our grandsons for bowling which was excellent. We had a drink in the bar and then onto the arcade. The use of the loaded card was much easier plus you could load any tickets won onto it. All staff were most helpful and by booking online the process was very smooth to get to our lane.

People's needs not met
The burger was so dry it was like sandpaper. No sauces added or sachets.
Was placed
With a family with an autistic child who was 'kicking off' & screaming.
Why would you place a group of 4 adults with this family????
The whole experience was ruined by this child's outbursts - support needs. We couldn't be given a alternative lane.
I went for a 'last outing' with my son before he leaves for army training.
We were all glad to leave.
I appreciate you can't predict additional needs children's behaviour but u can place people better.
My support needs were not met. I went in anxious emotional & teary . Then came out angry & agitated pissed off my memory was ruined.

Smooth and simple booking and confirmation on arrival. It was quiet whilst we were there so it was disappointing they put another group right next to us with all the available lanes.

Very helpful staff
Very helpful staff. We booked karaoke and the screen in room 1 froze which couldn't be rectified but they were polite and moved us to room 2. The new layout is great. We will be back (£50/hr is a LOT for 2 people but we're grateful there isn't a stipulated 4 or more like everywhere else in York). If it were cheaper we'd go a few times a week! :)
