£60 parking charge for “free parking”
A pleasant visit to Tenpin was unfortunately spoiled by a £60 parking charge afterwards. Parking is free for customers, but you need to enter your vehicle registration into a system at the venue.
Taking registration details during online booking, or having staff remind customers to use the registration screen on arrival, would help prevent a genuine customer’s visit ending with an unexpected charge.
I appreciate that parking needs to be managed, but trying to resolve the issue with the parking provider afterwards has been frustrating.
Tenpin should consider how its choice of parking partner affects its brand and the overall customer experience. Whatever value the arrangement delivers, it needs to be weighed against the goodwill lost when paying customers receive charges for parking that was supposed to be free.

Hi Russ, thank you for taking the time to review Tenpin Stafford! We're glad that you enjoyed your visit, but we are very sorry to hear that you received a parking fine. The car park is operated by a separate parking company and is subject to their restrictions, however we are sorry that you had not been made aware of any restrictions. We will ensure your feedback is passed on to the correct team for future improvements to be made. Best wishes - Adelaide

27th Aug - poor experience
We went on Thursday 27th Aug, and wow, shocking.
A tall guy who is a "manager" has a rancid attitude, he is arrogant and so unprofessional. He didnt care to fix and problems, he pranced around like he was untouchable.
However, a guy called "kiefer" I believe was very calm under pressure, he know the ship was sinking, there were complaints coming from every direction, and he kept his cool and remembered to be polite and efficient to his customers.

Great morning out
Staff are well presented, polite, food cleared promptly, easy to book came with Daughter and Granddaughters, so ages varied from 67 down to 8. We had a great time Nannie won yeah lol. Few goes in the Arcade which again clean presentable, staff keeping it tidy. Toilets were spotless which is great. We love coming just great day out with family, The Burger & Chips meal included was an added bonus although I am always bit sceptical, but I have to say the cheese burger was lovely even the Granddaughters thought so well 2 the youngest 2 don't do meat. But all in all Brilliant time Thankyou see you soon
