Good fun , good offer and not too busy
Was looking for something to do in the holidays with my 2 young kids when another plan fell through last minute, managed to book for the same day and was 2 games for £10.
Got on the lane at the right time and there wasn’t hundreds of other people inside which is nice as you can enjoy a good time with the family.

Nice place but completely broken food and drink ordering system
Had a good time bowling here and the place was decently clean. The staff were all super nice too, but ordering food online via the QR code was a total nightmare. We ordered on our phones because we were told that was the easiest way to get food and drinks, but it never showed up. When we went to the counter to check, they told us their system wasn't working and they never saw our order. Once they finally found it, they didn't have what we ordered in stock. This happened twice to our group on two separate orders made at the same time. My order included a drink they ran out of, and my friend ordered a latte but they had no milk. Great for bowling, but definitely skipping the QR code ordering next time!
