Lane broke down
Lane broke down. Spoke to a member of staff, waited 15 minutes, no response from staff, went back to speak to someone and then moved to another lane.

We were able to get onto our lane fairly quickly and system was fairly easy to use.
Only negative was the level hygiene as there used glasses left at lane and area had not been cleaned after previous booking but appreciate that there were alot of bookings taking place and limited numbers of staff so maybe they did not have enough time to clear up.

Was very busy and they were very under staffed. Food was dry, both lanes we used had an issue at one point or another.
The staff that were in were swamped and struggled with there only being two of them

bad bad customer service
Went with my 4 year old. The moment I went to the counter the lady had an attitude. I said nothing. After bowling we went to the arcade and in 1 on the games we put money and and nothing happened. The lady came and totally ignored me when I was speaking to her. I left it again. But she only gave £1 so when I asked for the second she was like I ain’t giving it ya.
I asked her what her issue is and why she has an attitude and then she said is it because you didn’t get your £ back. All but 1 were like that. Even the manger came and no apology or nothing or didn’t ask what happened. Why these women in customer facing roles If they don’t like it. Tenpin reputation also gets affected

Great Bowling party
Had my 8 year old’s birthday party here doing bowling. The value for money was great and the kids loved it. Two games was a bit much as most of the kids got bored by then and started trailing off. The girl put in charge of the party was great while there but kept disappearing so was a bit annoying having to go look. Overall, the experience was great and I would recommend it

On arrival we were greeted by manager who took us to the darts area, she was really helpful and her enthusiasm and knowledge of equipment helped get our family darts night off to a great start. We did order cocktails and wete then told they were unavailable which was a bit of a disappointment but still a great evening had by all

Fun afternoon
Brought the grandchildren for bowling, the place was very clean and the staff plesant. Enjoyable afternoon, although there could be more "XL" bowling balls, we could only find one and other bowlers kept asking if they could take it.
