Bowling feels like a side hustle
Mid week deals pretty good but the staff just don’t really care about anything but selling alcohol and they always bunch people together or let people pay for one person and have 8 on the lane.

We started late because the staff had a problem with organising.
Then we wanted to buy cider and they said that they have just apple so we agreed to buy and another lady came and said that they don't sell cider now they just sell beer that is more expensive. We didn't want beer so we didn't buy anything.
Horrible experience.

Coventry - would not return
Poor customer service - staff were unwelcoming, dismissive, disinterested and verging on incompetent. They actively ignored customers who were waiting to be served and had a terrible attitude.
The whole place was unbearably hot and had an awful smell which resulted in us leaving early and not finishing our second game.
Would not return.

Dissapointing visit dont go on a hot day
It was a very hot day out when visiting and when we enterd the building there was no aircon it was way too hot to enjoy the experience even the staff were walking round with fans in their hands come on you need aircon in todays era not a very nice experience.
Then had to wait ages for drinks and chips plus when food is deliverd there should be cutlery not everyone wants to eat with dirty hands not good that either. Also we orderd a large chips large i mean there was hardly enough to feed a 5year old you are way too stingy with food portions but not stingy on prices.
Plus to top it off the reception area why has it moved you have to walk way too far to get to it who ever thought of that idea needs more training you should walk in to be greeted by nice smiley reception staff but no you have to walk half a mile to find it again not a great experience place used to be nice whats happened.
Manager in charge get aircon quicker staff in kitchen and bar area move reception area back
bigger food portions then you wont get reviews like this.
Chow!
