I regularly bowl at Tenpin Harlow
I regularly bowl at Tenpin Harlow, the last experience being very positive. I’ve noticed how inclusive the staff are. The place was clean and tidy. We always like to play pool after, the tables were well kept.

Unhelpful and rude
Have to ring as cannot book concession online I do this weekly for our service users. The helpline staff are always very helpful over the phone. However on taking 2 clients with learning difficulties to Harlow, it turned out we’d been 60p under charged the lady there would NOT let us pay it then as been done over phone, she was most unhelpful and did not have a great attitude towards people with difficulties. Thank goodness a support worker was with our guys, so she finally relented and let the 60p go! Not after she’d made us feel bad- when we only pay what’s charged over the phone! How was we to know undercharged? Staff member could do with some training on how to treat people!

Ordered multiple drinks through the app in our party and had to chase them at the bar to get them. Then when we decided to order at the bar, we were told you can't go to use the app. Staff seem to do the bare minimum to earn their wage.

Great quality, lovely staff, shame about prices.
Great quality, lovely staff.
Prices are way to high, but I do understand that overheads are extortionate! Harlow council and government need to lower ground rents,as do utility companies. STOP running the high street into the ground, give companies a break, Bring back the high street and cash for EVERYONE..
I will say, on our last visit, the loos were a bit smelly, but not unclean.

I had my son’s 5 th birthday party here…
I had my son’s 5 th birthday party here on Sunday just gone. Very disappointing- firstly it took me two days to make him a cake when we arrived I was told they could not put it in the fridge- even tho it was 30 degree heat outside. It was boxed and bagged. By the time we served the cake it was melted. It also says the cake is presented by the venue- they dumped it on the bar and called me over to do it myself.
Not one member of staff sang happy birthday.
The entertainment with balloons and dancing - was a young miserable girl came round for 5 minutes with some balloons, I didn’t see her crack a smile once.
Not one member of staff asked if we were ok, they all just grunted at us.
The food was over cooked, not quite burnt but very well done.
I requested a vegan meal for one child and when the waitress said he could have nuggets or burger and we asked “ are they vegan”
She replied “ they should be” 🤣
The children all had a great time but I wouldn’t recommend a party here - the staff were unfriendly, and unhelpful and made absolutely no effort.
They came with a party bag for the bday boy and didn’t even give it to him , just dumped it on one of the guests mums.
Won’t be returning for a party here.

Good tuesday family deal
Very reasonable for families using the Tuesday deal. Staff were nice. Please take a look at lane 9, we’re very sure it’s not registering strikes properly. The far right pin seems to be re positioned despite having been knocked. Also quite hot in there. Had a nice time with my children thank you
