Food review
We pre booked our experience 1 game with food, the food didn't arrive we asked the staff who said it was being plated, then we asked again and he said it will be 10mins then comes back and tells us that they haven't even received any food order for lane. The food then arrives stone cold and hard. We complained to the manager got our food out to us within 10mins hot and fresh,

We're glad the manager was able to resolve the situation. We'll review your experience to improve our service. All the best ~ Laura
Booking was very easy quite simple and really enjoyable
Booking was very easy quite simple and straightforward to do. We enjoyed ourselves and were shocked at how much it has changed (for the good) as half the family enjoyed the escape room.
I think maybe have more than one till or person(s) asking about bookings on certain days due to length of queue
Other than that spot on and will be booking again soon maybe with more people for bowling

We went for soft play, darts and pool
We went for soft play, pool and darts. Pool and darts was great, easy enough to get a table and darts was simple to book and play. Soft play however was a nightmare and ruined the experience. It was so busy and noisy in there that my younger one (who is 6 and not exactly timid) wouldn't play in there as it was to loud and busy. Even playing pool it got to much as the noise from the soft play was unbearable at times. I've got 2 young kids so am very used to soft play but I just felt they let way to many in this one.

Law was filthy
Lane was filthy
Waited so long for someone to come and help I did it myself.
Slushy has spilt on the seat and floor so it was really sticky.
Another family 2 aisles down kept walking in the live bowling lanes all the way down to the pins but were not challenged by any staff member despite securing noticing.
It was very distracting as at times they walked into our aisle affecting our game.

We do hope we are able to welcome you back again soon and your next visit is a 5 star experience. All the best ~ Laura
Not enough balls in the 8 - 10 weight range.
We were pleased to see new balls but there just wasn't enough of them. It was a very busy day but even so, we only had one of each weight and we had ten players over two lanes. It made it a very slow game.

Short staffed and ridiculous ques
Only one person on the bar and again one person on the tickets counter , we cued for more time than we actually played. Someone who played on our lane was previously sick and no one came to clear it up until asked twice, we got told we had to wait for everyone to be processed in the line before our game could begin which took another 20 minutes.
Wouldn't recommend going spend more time waiting than anything !

Terrible service, waited over half a hour to get a drink, staff not bothered. No organisation. Poor experience all around. Also place looks like a building site.

The Bowling lane was good, but…
The Bowling lane was good, but it was filthy when we received it. Drink service is slow and poor. In any other place for this price you’d get your G&T served with ice and lime/lemon, but here each time you had to beg for it. Im not saying it’s expensive, but for this price you should raise your standards. Especially the hygiene ones. Everything is sticky, dirty and full of empty glasses and baskets.

Used to be my favourite tenpin
Used to be my favourite tenpin. New layout and lights are awful. Have to find a gap in chairs to get all the way to the far corner to reception. Crap tables and chairs in front of screen. Booths are stuck together so you need loads of you or have to ask everyone to move. Be worse when soft play opens

We do hope you will still consider visiting us in the future and we will look forward to welcoming you back! Best wishes - Mel
More staff required?
Staff seemed too busy to be attentive. There was a 25+ minute wait in the queue at reception. 3 burgers were brought to our lane and left while our backs were turned with no warning—they weren’t ours! It took 20 minutes to flag down a staff member to take them away.
The lane functioned well and no technical difficulties.

Another great evening for football
Popped in to watch Coventry game with family from Ireland after not been able to get tickets for the game. Had a lovely hostess called chloe. I remember her from when we brought the kids here about 10 years ago. She's still the smiley polite engaging lady she's always been

Could be better!
We love bowling and the atmosphere is good here.initial check in was good and we got drinks at the bar straight away. However, not greeted at the lane and when lane had a glitch we had a message to say help was on its way and nobody came! We had to sort it ourselves! Drinks and lane cost very expensive and we were surrounded by dirty glasses and plates!
