Wait for drinks let you down
Staff worked very hard to accommodate our group moving us to a lane with nobody else playing near us and moving us to the next lane when the buffer malfunctioned. I would love to have given you 5 stars but ordered drinks to the table via the Web page..had to go and fetch them myself after 40 minutes.

I booked bowling and a karaoke room for my daughter and some of her friends for her 7th birthday. The children really enjoyed themselves and we felt that it was great value for money.
However, we did have food included with the deal I booked, which unfortunately was terrible. Non of the children or the adult booked on, ate it which was a shame.
The karaoke room was great, though the room we initially went in was not working but this was rectified by the staff and we moved into the room next door.

New soft play was brilliant, staff are terrible.
New soft play was brilliant, very impressed. However staff are terrible on the bar area. Ordered drinks to my table, after 15 minutes went to the bar to find 5 staff just chatting and my receipt sitting on the back bar. Then ordered food for my children and had to send it all back, and remade.

Bowling in Coventry
Enjoyed the bowling but checking in after pre payment seemed to take ages as had to queue as people were having to pay for various different activities & only one person serving.
The bowling lane we were allocated was disgusting with chips, chip cartons, drinks & used tomato sauce wrappers everywhere. I clean this up myself as there wasn’t any staff around.The items which I placed on another stand were still there when we left an hour later.

Safety
Play area it’s self is amazing but the safety of the children that are young and just make a run for it as soon as the doors open or one of the staff open the door for them to run straight out without going back to their parents it’s really unsafe if your not sitting close enough you wouldn’t know your child is making a run for it and anything could happen if they got to the front entrance

Karaoke party disaster
Booked a Karaoke Popstar package for my daughter which says is for 90 minutes of karaoke, includes props and gift for birthday person. The room was dirty with dried on ketchup everywhere, the props were half broken, deflated dirty items just left in the room from previous parties I presume. The mics kept not working, despite multiple requests to sort we ended up with one working intermittently and the karaoke screen kept lagging and freezing. None of the girls could pick songs they wanted and had to use a generic list that we finally managed to queue up so 11 year olds stuck singing ABBA, Queen and Dolly Parton. Manager said nothing they could do to fix and offered a game of bowling which my daughter declined as she’d wanted a karaoke party. The karaoke advertised for 90 mins was only set for 60 mins and we were expected to vacate the room prior to our 90 mins being up so they could have the next booking in there. Food was 4 pizzas in takeaway boxes, not cut up properly, no plates, no napkins. Only thing I will say is that I did get a full refund after a bit of back and forth with the two managers who initially told me they ‘don’t do refunds as a rule’. Really disappointing party and shame for my daughter who had been so excited for it.

Had a fun night
Had a fun night , 7 of us visited £65 for all of us to have 1 game, a very resizable price.The kids also enjoyed the arcade area. our 2 lanes could have been cleaned down as there was left over food and drinks left behind by the last guest's Which I had to clear.

Wonderful softplay with great system in place. The concerns are for how busy it is, they need a better system to get drinks, as it seems very backwards and I queued for over 30 minutes for a drink. Music is so loud, can’t hear each other sitting at the tables.

The new outlay is super really liked it. However with a bowling slot time booked it took nearly 15 mins+ to get drinks. The bar staff didn’t even acknowledge us throughout at that time and then served another customer, lacked customer appreciation and service. I think for a busier evening need a couple more staff and further training in being in a customer facing role. Put us off getting more drinks later. But the venue was really good thank you.
