Very friendly staff and a great experience for us and our grandchildren. Reasonably priced too. Would be better if parking was free

Fun bowling experience
We always enjoy bowling here as a family. The place is vibrant and the bowling is always a fun experience, though we find it can be difficult sometimes to find a ball of the right weight for all members of the group. It’s never a huge problem and is probably because the place is always busy. Parking is available at the multistorey close by and there are some lovely restaurants in the leisure park. Staff are occasionally a little slow to serve at the bar but they try hard and it seems to be an under-staffing problem at times. Having the pool tables and arcades is a great addition and makes a really fun day out. The arcades are now all cashless which makes things simpler.

Bowling
Bowling in general was brilliant but service from staff was slow and took a long time for just getting drinks, we waited over 40mins for our preorder drinks

Bowling alley is looking so untidy and staff look like they have just dragged themselves out of bed!
Couldn’t get bowling screen to work when arrived so had to go and find someone.
Then decided to play on arcades as we left and paid to use some of the games but they didn’t work, tried to get money back but kept being pushed from pillar to post and gave up in the end.
Expensive bowling alley frankly which doesn’t have anything going for it that warrants that price other than it’s the only one in Cambridge!!!
Shame as we went for our daughters birthday so kind of spoilt her day.

Almost 5 stars
This would have been 5 stars if it hadn't taken nearly 20 minutes - and 2 people from separate lanes reporting the problem - to unblock the balls at the pin end on the lanes

Staff were extremely helpful
Staff were extremely helpful & friendly, place was clean the only downside is the bowling lanes could do with clearing empty glasses and food waste a bit more often.

We had a great time playing pool and then a game of bowling.
Only downside was that the floors and tables were very messy.
A few of the pool cues were broken and there was only one chalk.
Bowling was fun.

Lane was not ready had to wait 20 min to be given after our booked time then had our lane turned off with two frames left each we booked for 5 people and got told we only would get 30 min on the lane as they was busy that’s a joke you can not complete your game in that time or enjoy your experience completely ruined our evening out

The pizza was over cooked and chips order incorrect
The pizza was over cooked. I ordered cheesy chips and got normal chips. I didn’t query this at the time as we only had the lane for an hour and when going up to the bar / check in there usually is a long queue which would have used up our bowling time. There also was a shortage of the lighter balls which seem silly as it was half term and almost every lane was being used by children.

Amazing staff
Amazing staff.
Shame about some of the customers!
One member of staff, carrying a mop and bucket, was pushed into by a toddler and her mother. He ended up covered by the contents of the bucket, but he remained calm and polite despite being ignored by the customer.
I would return but on a quieter day. Great service. Thank you.

Not the best!
We paid for an hour of bowling and a pizza as deal for my daughter's birthday. We have two young children, one is 18 months old and we needed a highchair. In the WHOLE of tenpin, they have ONE highchair that has broken straps. This meant we couldn't use it because our 18 month old can climb out. So it was unsafe!
We were in the middle of our second game when the hour timer ended and literally cut our game off. This upset my daughter as it was her birthday treat!
The pizza that came with the deal was awful, it was burn and hard

We regret the pizza was not satisfactory and will address this with our team. All the best ~ Laura
