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... See more

Great venue for bowling easy parking.
Great venue for bowling easy parking.
The only drawback is the noise, far too loud to be able to speak to friends; have to shout to be heard

Too expensive for what it is
Too expensive for what it is. The drinks are just as bad. The fact you've replied to my comment by suggesting looking at your deal, when I booked a deal in the first place and only got 50 minutes on the Lane and the worst and cheapest pizza I have ever had, at the price of £40 says it all. You're out of touch with your own customer and your staff clearly reply to these as though the customer is wrong. I used your deals and that is exactly what I am calling extortionate. You're charging £9 just for one game. That's 10 minutes. People want to play 3 games and that's going to cost £27 for 30 to 40 minutes and that's if you go alone. 2 players forn3 games is £54 😅 you've exposed how little you care and how out of touch you are with your own pricing. You just lost a star too for how obnoxious you've been.

Enjoyed the bowling
Enjoyed the bowling but the food wasn’t very good , we had to wait ages for it and then it was tepid - and it wasn’t cheap. Will go bowling again but will probably go to McDonalds for food .
