We had an excellent visit, we went early in the day so it was still quiet, however even as it got busier it did not feel intrusive or overwhelming. All the staff we talked to were great, friendly and... See more

Pressed the call button to order some…

Pressed the call button to order some drinks, nobody attended for a long time, no bother I’ll get them at the bar. At the bar another client was putting in a large drinks order, being served by somebody competent. Three other staff were watching her. There were two additional staff right next to them in the booking in section just talking. Ok I can wait, patiently, no-one acknowledged I was there. No eye contact, no explanation why 5 people are just standing around not serving, no oh sorry we will be with you, maybe they were training, maybe they were statues who knows, I don’t know because nobody spoke to me. Competent server was busy with a large order. Even that person if they were training could have thrown me a look to explain, or pushed the boat out and spoke to me. I gave up, finished our games and left, mouth as dry as a flip flop. But still breathing, not the end of the world, but the whole situation was weird af.

Poor Value

We chose the 2 games of bowling and burgers however our food had not arrived by the time our game had finished. We were waiting for our food to arrive when the next family arrived to take the lane we were on. We were barely on the lane for 30 mins and it cost almost £30 for 1 adult and 1 junior. Not great value for money.
The portion sizes were very small, the burgers were plain and not great quality. There was no difference in portion size from a child’s burger to an adults. There are much nicer places to eat which offer a better value for money.

On a positive note, the customer service department were very helpful. There was an accident on the road on our way to the venue and they swapped our time slot as we were stuck in traffic. The young man was very pleasant and helpful.

Staff weren’t very attentive

Staff weren’t very attentive, I waited at the front desk for a while for someone to acknowledge my booking, I then had to find someone after waiting about for another 10 minutes to start our game! It was very busy as it was during the Easter school holidays, definitely not enough staff available!

To be honest

To be honest, for the money we paid, the experience was disappointing. The pods where we were seated were dirty and quite small, especially for four people. The food was poor quality, and we had to wait a long time for it. By the time it arrived, our table still hadn’t been cleaned – in fact, it wasn’t cleared until we had finished the game.

The bowling itself felt very basic. The screens didn’t show useful stats like who was leading or how many points you scored per turn, just a simple board with overall scores.

Apart from the great company we were with, the whole experience was poor compared to other places charging similar prices.

We enjoyed our game so much we paid for an extra one. Unfortunately during this game, the system failed and we couldn't continue. The staff then allocated another lane for us and gave us additional two games to compensate. Very good result.

Had a lovely time

Can't complain. Had a lovely family time. We even took selfies for more fun. The food was delivered to the line. Even so the burger and fries was quite small portion - it was tasty meal, and appeared quite enough. Definitely will be back.

Customer service was good

Customer service was good, the kids love bowling but the only thing that let them down was the toilets. No soap at all, some dispensers had sanitiser in them but no signs to say its sanitiser. Not great for people with allergies or skin issues. That is twice we have been there recently and the toilets have been the same.
