Staff were really friendly and communication was good, easy to book online. Shoes readily available if needed. Food was a bit slow on arrival, but on the whole a good experience.

Staff friendly, helpful & welcoming. Game technology excellent - intuitive to use for a technophobe. To improve the balls could be cleaner (they felt a bit sticky).

10 out of 10
Tenpin is fantastic if you fancy somewhere to go bowling. There's no hassle. Its easy to book in, find your lane and crack on. I take my kids quite often. When entering your names on the touchscreen, you can choose whether or not you want the bumpers on. If you dont have the desired ball you want on your lane, there's racks of different balls to use. It's bang on, simplistic and has a nice atmosphere. I would recommend tenpin to anyone wanting to go out bowling.

Very poor experience
Will admit our group did turn up a bit late however I double checked with the staff if we would get our full two hours and they said we would. People were also in our room during our booked time but staff did not remove the people from our room. Audio and music was very poor quality and kept cutting out. Very limited song choice aswell.

Impromptu visit
Only popped in for my son to use the arcade, in the midst of school trips and renovations the vibe from all the staff was excellent as ever. Easy yo find a table so I could work whilst my son played, table service, and not too cramped despite said renovations. Reasonable on prices but we only had a drink on this visit.

Pins on strings are not for me
Firstly, the place was clean and, as not very busy, the service was quick whilst the lane was set up with a good selection of bowling balls. There's the two stars scored. However, the big gripes - They didn't have any bowling shoes in my size (10, hardly extreme) and the person serving seemed quite put out that I wanted to use bowling shoes. Secondly, £48 for two games for three people (including 2 teenagers) is very steep. And thirdly, the pins are on strings as opposed to free fall. I hate this and it's known that this suppresses pin fall by around 10%. Might be lower maintenance but it's just saving cost at the expense of customer enjoyment. I will not return for this reason alone, let alone the others.
