We had no signal when playing bowling…
We had no signal when playing bowling so was unable to order food and drinks through the QR code, when asking someone if they could take our order, they wanted us to go to the bar to order, but this meant queuing and taking us away from playing bowling, customer service isn't what it use to be!

Friendly but very loud
Staff were really friendly, bowling was good, but it was SO noisy. Music played at full volume in addition to the other sounds of pool, machines etc meant we were all glad to leave. A shame, as I say, the bowling was good

Overly priced
Overly priced. Not much choice for kids in arcade area. No real incentive for people to play and spend money. Tickets get you literally penny sweets. Not worth the money you spend.

The customer service was appalling
The customer service was appalling. The reason as to why food was not allowed at the lanes is terrible customer experience and not explained at the time of booking and then the wait time for food after the bowling was excruciatingly long when all we wanted to do was leave. It was the explained to me that there were a ‘no refund’’ company. I will not be returning despite the actual bowling being good.

It was clean inviting, all tables clean and no empty glasses or plates on tables.
Plenty for the kids to do while we waited for the time of our lane. Could not get the drinks app to work but bar staff friendly and efficient. We all had a great time.
