Long queues to check in and unclean
Long queues to check in, lanes not set up even after checking in so had to queue again. Lanes not clean, asked 3 times for this to be sorted but never was. Gross.

I ordered a bowl of chips which took 30 minutes to arrive! Understandable that it was a little busy but not one apology off a staff member.

The bowling was fine
The bowling was fine , it was the food . Well below par if I’m honest , it was served during a game & the fries were at best Luke warm the burger was dry & it had fake cheese . And the cokes were full of ice so that meant U didn’t get the right measurement in soft drinks . I would go to bowling again but I would never purchase any food or drink there again & I don’t normally complain

We booked the karaoke room
We booked the karaoke room, said it came with props but just got one blow up Microphone, we got the four pizzas but they all came overcooked so kids did not really enjoy them. Then the t-Shirt they gave my daughter in her gift bag was so small and they did not have any bigger sizes available or offer her an alternative.
