Birthday bowling
There was a young lady Katie, who made it her business for us to have the best time from the moment we walked in to the moment we left!! I visited for my sons birthday with his friend and mum and Katie helped set up our bowling lane showing us how to put the barriers up if needed, we then went to lazer tag. Our sons are only 7&8 and wanted to do teams against us mums, katie knew it was all our first times trying lazer tag and could see the boys needed help, next thing she had a vest and a gun and was running around on the boys team the laughter of the boys makes it all worth the money! The only gripe I had was the pizza, it wasn't the best so next time I probably won't do the bowling pizza deal.

Kids loved it
Kids loved it. Especially because of the frame it was inclusive for all ages. The bowling bowls were of different weights too which I thought was quite thoughtful

Not the best!
The experience for my son’s birthday party was not the best. On arrival we were charged £72 despite already paying the balance of the party a week prior. The refund was processed, after we showed proof of payment and it was clear they had charged us for someone else’s party. The Manager was not very friendly and seems very annoyed to be having to process the refund. The laser tag was supposed to start at 5pm but the boys didn’t go in until about 5.10pm and therefore did not get the full hour. The food was ok but portions weren’t great. It was a very busy night and whilst we had a reserved table near the kitchen - I had to keep asking for food and the birthday cake to be brought out. Other venues have a private party room with a dedicated member of staff. On the whole staff were friendly and helpful and the birthday gift bag was good.
