When booking the lane
When booking the lane, it wasn’t clear to us that it would reset at one hour exactly.
Whilst putting in bowler information, we had to was for it to be reset as some rig went wrong which took a few minutes and after the hour, even though 3 of out party still had to take a last turn, the lane reset and the games were missed.
As we did this in age order, it was the children who missed the last turn and they got quite upset. It was not made clear that we had one hour exactly to complete.

We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we regret that the exact timing was not made clearer. We will review your feedback to improve our communication regarding booking durations. Best wishes - Clare

The bowling and pizza were great
The bowling and pizza were great, all vet efficient.
The “slot machines” on the way out were an extra money burden, very enticing for the kids and I get that, but the ticket redemption thing is an absolute ripoff and joke - just let them try and win proper 10p’s or whatever back - I felt scammed and will always avoid in future.
It may actually put me off returning for the bowling, even though I have no complaints at all about that section.

Poor customer service
Poor customer service, long queues and only one attendant, multiple errors and no one to attend and lots of waiting, food didn’t arrive till the end of the games. Food quality was poor. Hygiene was severely lacking.

The grandkids enjoyed the session
The grandkids enjoyed the session. The main dissapointing issue was parking as disabled person, there were blue badge spaces but a long walk from the entrance. At the entrance there were steep steps down to the door. Sadly won't return to this venue again 😞

Good discount on week days
Good discount on week days, we enjoyed a lot. But the bowling area is bit crowded and small places between the bowling area numbers. I think staff showed something like a favoriteism(Racism) between us and English people. They didn't respond when we went to enquiry and pay for the Bowling.

Had to move lanes 3 times as the system either didn’t add the scores up correctly, pins were not replaced for each person’s turn and new lanes started on different points of the game. Staff were busy but also very unhelpful.
