Tenpin Tuesday still a great deal.
Tenpin Tuesday still a great deal.
My son didn't quite have enough tickets for the light up ball he wanted but the Manager who was behind the counter let him have it anyway.
A really kind gesture which costs you as a company pennies but makes a 7 year old very happy... Thank you.
Will be back.
(Slight complaint. Gas or glassware on bar not quite right. Magners pouring very flat.)

Booked for 8 people
Booked for 8 people, game was okay but there was a problem with the skittles, waited a while and then had to ask for help.
Ordered 6 adult meals and 2 kids meals, all of which came out the same (kids meals)
Over all not bad but better friendlier service at Bristol

We didn't do bowling
We didn't do bowling, we just played on the arcade games and had food, but the service was brilliant everyone was polite and friendly, and the food was nice and very affordable prices, my only advice would be to add some lettuce to the burgers, and salad as a side dish option.
