Rude staff
We chose the one pizza and bowling for 1 hour option when we booked for the bowling game. As we started the game and finished one round, the display said to visit the front staff to book additional rounds. As we went to the bar side where the front staff were, we were approached rudely by a staff member, saying that the booking session was only for one round. We tried multiple times, informing her politely that her information is wrong and what it says on the tenpin website says otherwise. All the time she reciprocated rudely to us, with a harsh tone not allowing us to finish as well. According to description, she had blue colored hair. Disappointed, we asked to see another staff member, who apologised for her, and solved the issue for us. We wasted a significant amount of time arguing with her, afterwards we were unhappy to continue our bowling session.

Customer service lacking (staff did not seem interested), many beers not on tap and the toilets were is a filthy state. For the prices being charges (£130+ for 7 people bowling) it felt like a rip off. I am happy to pay a premiun when a premium experience is given, but this was far from.

Good Experience, but Customer Service Could Be Better
We were initially placed in a small room without knowing there were different room sizes, and the monitor was difficult to use, so we ended up with fewer songs than expected. When we extended, the issue was fixed and we were moved to a different room, which we appreciated. However, one staff member was very impatient and unfriendly, and the customer service could have been better, especially since it was our first time.

Nice trip out for hubby's birthday
Our original lane only had one bumper working but a member of staff quickly switched our lane after informing them. We got 2 games for £30 for 3 people which I thought was good value. Good selection of bowling balls, you can take a group photo of your team to be displayed on the screens background which was a nice touch. Ordered cocktails which were another bargain deal, very tasty along with a generous portion of chips, enough to share between 3 of us as nibbles. Also liked not having to wear proper bowling shoes which can sometimes be a faff getting the right size and also getting our 3 year old to actually wear them! Enjoyed the arcade on site afterwards which made the trip a more wholesome experience. Easy to purchase a card from the bar to use as credits.

Beer pumps off
We went for our birthday, Friday night 6 pm and no beers were on the pumps.made the experience a little bit rubbish as my entire group drinks beers. Just seems to me a Friday night wouldn’t be the most ideal time to clean out beer pumps.
