Came along with 5 children and there were so many big kids in there storming around, knocking children over. It was stressful.
The place itself is amazing, it's just a shame about the older children

I pre booked the bowling for 15 people. When arriving I went to the desk where the member of staff wasn’t the best welcoming, I was directed to my lanes, which was shocking to see each lane was left messy and unclean from the last users. It’s very disappointing considering I had pre booked! I had to ask 2 members of staff to get it cleaned up which one said she would be back and never returned and so the lad was left to do it by himself.

Past 3 times I have gone here there has been a problem, the recent one was yesterday, I started playing and 3 bowls into our game we got replaced, the staff don’t seem to care about their customers and are usually rude. We had to wait another 10 mins for another lane as the staff think certain customers are more important. Very disappointing.

Was not explained that there was a max of 6 players to a lane, as there was 7 in our group we had to have 2 lanes. One of the screens was not working, no staff near the lanes, had to walk to the other end of the building to get resolved. Toilets also positioned quite a distance from the bowling lanes.
Ordered food via the qr code, wrong food delivered, drinks didn’t arrive.

Shocking
Shocking, staff didn’t care, service was slow, machines not working, darts wasn’t working some of the time, dirty plates and glasses everywhere. Had to clean up our bowling lane from the previous people. Food took ages to come out, ordered drinks through the app, absolutely pointless as had to go up to the bar to get them. Machines not printing tickets, machine broken to count your tickets. Machines just a blatant scam for like 10 secs of play for a quid. Yeah won’t be going back anytime soon.

Expensive for an hour session
Expensive for an hour session. Not enough staff on reception. The screen to enter our names played up and would not allow us to enter all of our names so ten minutes taken off our play time sorting that.
