Had a lovely time at Doncaster Tenpin. Booking was easy online and took advantage of the £10 for 2 games offer per person. Plenty of free parking outside the venue. Staff friendly, easy check-in.

Easy entrance, polite assistant and lane immediately available. Like the private seating near the lane, handy for people who are taking people but not bowling themselves. Parking outside a bonus.

Good family time together
Good family time together. A fun experience however they need to replace the bowling balls as they have significant notches and scratches on them making it difficult to find a good ball. Other than that a fun night with plenty of choice of food and drink.

The worker behind the counter was quite rude. She was probably in a really bad mood. My boyfriend and I were very confused why she was taking it out on us when we were just having a nice date.

Not a great deal
We couldn't find the bowling ball weight we wanted, the lane appeared bumpy which affected the rolling of the bowling balls, the food was mediocre ar best and the service was quite slow. The adult food portion wouldn't feed my teens, let alone an adult and the burgers were plain (no sauces, no salad no garnish) and we were offered no condiments. It seemed like good value but in reality, it wasn't worth the money.

Customer service really good
Customer service really good, we couldn't make a previous booking and when I spoke to them they were very understanding and helpful.
Lovely afternoon with my family.
The only issue I had was some of the bowling balls had wear & tear on them and had grooves in them which slowed them done alittle.

The lane we were allocated hadn’t even been cleared from the previous people, despite it being very quite for a Saturday
I asked if the table could be wiped down, however someone arrived to do and wiped the lane next to us that was clean!! I ended up moving used food cartons and empty glasses so we could put our drinks down
