Bowling Party
Booked a bowling party and our taxi failed to arrive. Tenpin were more than accommodating with changing the booking with less than an hour's notice. Second bowling party we have had. Highly recommend. Food is delivered to the bowling aisle and you get two hours to bowl 2 games. Great fun, great value. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

Your staff are brilliant
Your staff are brilliant, always ready to help.
The only thing that could be improved is, your baby changing facilities. To use it I had to go and find the key to open it. Bearing in mind your baby changing is at one end of the building and the key is at the opposite side of building. There is no need to lock this room. Please get rid of key.

Great school trip
Great school trip! Easy booking, easy check-in, easy for 10-11 year olds to input names into the computers, lots of space for pupils to roam freely, lots of space for pupils to eat their lunch. A great trip and one that I would do again with the class.

Let people play for what they paid for not to give them only an hour to rush through 2 games of bowling
Went to tenpin bowling for our sisters birthday. Staff was friendly and everything was good. Only thing that was more of a dislike was we paid for 2 games £40 for both and some food but we only had an hour to rush through 2 games whilst we was waiting for people to make there way to tenpin bowling. If we had more time to get through both games it would be 5 stars but since we didn't even get through the first game we our time was up and we basically wasted our money for not being able to play both games and being kept on a time limit.
