Shame about the service
The purpose of the visit was for our son’s birthday and we visited with six of his friends. The bowling was fine and the laser combat was satisfactory (although cut short by 10 minutes to accommodate the next party). The main reason for the poor score was a particular member of staff - whilst serving at the bar it was all eye rolls and tuts and a sense that customers were a terrible inconvenience. The same member of staff supervised the laser combat and the boys independently reported she was curt with them. A real shame as everything else was fine.

Date day
My husband and I decided to go bowling for a date.
We had 2 options of venue, but Tenpin was so much more reasonably priced.
Lots of things to do all under one roof.
Would certainly visit again
