Booked online
Booked online, paid for 3 Thursday 2 games of bowling and burger meal for myself, and two disabled individuals (one in powered wheelchair).
Arrived and was told there’s no food. I asked to book us in for next Thursday same time for comp and was told can’t do that. Then was told they had pizza so the two lads was at least satisfied with the fact they would get some food.
Pizza came and was the little microwave ones cut into 4 slices.
Never go again

ZERO attendance when pressing service button
Balls kept getting stuck, either on the sides or where the actual pins were, kept pressing the service call button but unfortunately no one could be bothered to attend, so had to try and dislodge them ourselves while playing the game, I understand it was busy but maybe have more staff on to attend when there is a problem
