Extortionate drinks prices £21.95 for 3 Pepsis and a Slushi
The site has many amenities, so anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that they are going to spend money, especially when there are so many things to do and so many machines. We had a good time. But the whole experience was badly let down by the food, which was poor (A plain beefburger in "Burger van long life buns", not even a slice of tomato or lettuce) and the bar prices which were extortionate. I paid 21.95 for 3 glasses of Pepsi and 1 Slushi, an average of £5.50 per drink

Great night out.
Arrived in plenty of time. Another party was directed to our lane at the same time. This was dealt with expediently and professionally.
We took advantage of the half price lanes and drinks. Hope this continues for Tuesdays.
Great atmosphere. A lovely night out.

I paid for my family to bowl and paid for 2 games and that was fine but we ordered drinks from the QR code on lane and they never arrived so we finished the two games and went to the bar to ask and they just said oops and at this point we ordered a coffee but the machine was then turned off so paid for a coffee and got a Pepsi instead.

Lovely time celebrating my daughter’s birthday with 6 of her friends. The only two things I would say they could improve on, the split the girls into two lanes which was disappointing as they all wanted to be together. Secondly, other bowling places I’ve been to offer jugs of pop for £10 or less and here I had to buy individual drinks which cost me nearly £30 extra. Overall a good experience.
