Delays to start time but enjoyable bowling
Booked for 4pm. Arrived few mins early as advised on email confirmation but we were told we would have to wait until 4.10 for the lane. We had a drink and waited until 4.10 but then we were told we had been changed to another lane and had to wait again for the people on it to finish their game. After a delay of a few more minutes we got onto our lane and enjoyed our game.

Love Tenpin
Love Tenpin, such great value for money! It's literally fun for all the family. Only think i would suggest to change is having something to clean the holes in the balls after others use them.

A Sunday bowling and playing pool.
We were allocated a bowling lane not much later than our booking, I considered that ok as it was a busy Sunday afternoon.
We went to the lane (lane20) and even though our booking name was on the display we couldn't start the game or enter players name. I went to the desk and explained the problem. I was told at that point the touch sreen wasn't working and they entered the player names from the desk.
We had a few games of pool after the bowling, unfortunately many of the tables had had the chalk removed from the chalk holders..very annoying for you but at £2.00 a game not ideal for us either.
I did notice members of the staff sweeping up litter etc from the floor and the tables were quite clear of empty bottles and glasses. It' not easy to decide if the drinks have been left or still 'active' when people leave the table to play on machine or have left the building. So well done to the staff and all the staff were helpful
