Lane was ready when we got there, no waiting around, staff were friendly and responsive, there was a slightly longer delay for food but it was starting to get busy so I understand that

Friendly check in, accommodating with when we wanted food prepared. Asked for a paper cloth to wipe seating down where previous bowlers had spilt something and the man at bar offered to come and clean... See more

I booked bowling with my new partner and child. Using my email. On my booking it specifically has my name my booking. When adding 187name is had my ex girlfriends name. I deleted her name adding my own so my booking has my name on it and no where has her as its my booking. On arrival they can't find my booking give them my phone and they are very confused and said they can't find my booking but they did see my name on the system but for some reason it's now dissappeared sorry there's nothing they can do. I said its cost me £50 so either I want a refund now or you find my booking. 3 staff are confused and tske 15 minutes and eventually fund my booking and it's under mt ex girlfriends name every tho on booking its all my name etc. Staff then found this very funny that somehow the system had messed up and had my exs name every tho on the booking its not and it's my name.
I was fuming as my girlfriend was raging with me.
Then on the screen on the lane it has my exs name on it. My current girlfriend was fuming and ruined our bowling and night even more
Was not funny. Waste of £50 won't be returning

Couldn’t fault it - half price Tuesday. Great price bowing and drinks. Lane was reserved and ready early. Considering it was 6pm in the Easter holidays I was very impressed

Weren't very please with contact less in arcade
Bowling and staff was good. But very dislike how arcade machine mainly contact less which ruined it for us as arcade should be coins or contactless like at Hollywood bowls is. So for us we didn't spend money at arcade as it was contactless which was rubbish really but overall bowling was good.

Not a great experience.
We were a booking of two adults and one child. Booking was easy and correct, upon arriving to the lane it was messy and the camera on the screen did not work. We then moved to the arcade machines and some were out of order, we then attempted to play one game it took our credits but the game didn't start. Considering there is another bowling alley in Swindon I'd be using that one next.
