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

Swindon COVID area... avoid
I honestly don’t know how they managed to make tenpin bowling feel this miserable, but they pulled it off. The place has been “refurbished,” which apparently means cramming in massive seating structures that completely block your view of the lanes and everyone playing around you. Bowling is meant to be social. You watch, you cheer, you interact, not sit boxed in like you’re waiting at an airport gate.To make it worse, the seating areas are divided by huge plastic screens, even between people sitting at the same table. It looks and feels like leftover COVID-era social distancing that no one bothered to remove. Instead of feeling lively or fun, the whole place is claustrophobic, sterile, and awkward. You’re isolated from your own group and totally cut off from the atmosphere of the lanes. The layout kills the vibe completely. You can’t see what’s happening around you, you can’t easily interact with other players, and the plastic barriers just scream “temporary fix” rather than thoughtful design. For a venue that’s supposed to be about fun, noise, and energy, this feels cold, cramped, and uncomfortable. If you’re refurbishing a bowling alley, maybe don’t turn it into a maze of plastic walls and oversized seating that makes everyone feel separated and boxed in. Huge downgrade. Pass for me until... maybe forever.
P.s. After reply from Tenpin you made it even worse. I’d appreciate it if my name were spelled correctly (Tomasz). Now its "-1"star...
