To celebrate the end of Year 10 and the completion of their Polish GCSE exams, the school treated the students to an Eat & Play outing. The young people had a wonderful time together — even a small mishap on the bowling lane turned into a great bonding moment, bringing the group closer as a team. It was lovely to see them relax and celebrate after all their hard work.

Did not like the overall experience from being asked to submit requirements for my party, to not reciting a response on it. On following up first booking can’t be found, then it’s eventually found, then having to push for provision of service on the day , even on things that were promised as part of package. It should have been alot smoother than it was !

It was good, nobody rushed us to finish.

The pool tables were accessible.
Drink reasonable.

Top experience, great staff!
We did the Escape from Alcatraz escape room for my sons 13th birthday. It was his first, he brought a group of friends and although they weren't able to escape they all had a fantastic time. The booking was simple and we were able to add another on the day. The staff both at the actual escape room AND within Tenpin were brilliant especially the lady who came to chat with us and gave both my sons birthday presents and had a chatbwith me while ai was waiting for them to finish! Great Day!

Did not meet my expectations as being advertised
My child’s eleven years old birthday party did not meet my expectations, based on the online advertisements
Food size portions were minimum even though it says parties for 8-13 years old, portions should be considered for appropriate children’s birthday age, as they ask for the child’s birthday age.
Bowling game stopped mid way through, even though was meant to be unlimited. So children ended up playing the arcade, which cost it extra. I had to ask why and the staff put it back on.
Even though it said we will light up and bring the birthday cake to your child, it didn’t happen. I had to ask for a lighter ,staff said they didn’t have one, so they ended up borrowing from someone else. No cake slicer or napkins was provided, luckily I had packed some napkins and a one use plastic knife (just in case).
I felt like I was constantly asking staff for things to happen. It was meant to be a paid party where everything is taken care of, without the stress.
