It was a good choice
It was a good choice. There’s plenty of lanes for bowling, but you have plenty of room. The staff were all polite & help. My family really enjoyed it.

Hi Marie

Overall a good visit
Overall a good visit, staff helpful and polite. Really strange that you are "forced" to sign a waiver saying a member of staff has gone through the rules (laser tag) before you go in and have the rules explained. This seems back to front and the staff say they have no discretion when I raised it

Hi Adam
We appreciate your feedback regarding the waiver process for laser tag. We understand how it could seem unusual to sign a document acknowledging rule explanation before the rules are actually presented. We are reviewing our procedures to ensure a more logical and customer-friendly experience for everyone. We're glad our staff were helpful and polite during your visit. Best wishes - Clare

11 of our family went together. The food side needs improving on. We didn’t get what we ordered because one of the cooks went off sick I think.

Avoid on offer days awful!
First time coming here and it was awful. People were throwing the balls in our lane. Some of the teenagers were rowdy around us and hit us with a plastic bowl which they got from the arcade section. Then apologised. It was way too hot inside especially for my 5 year old. And not clean.

Hi there
We are very sorry to hear about your first visit being so awful. We sincerely apologize for the disruptive behavior from other customers, the uncomfortable temperature, and the cleanliness issues you experienced. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, especially for a family with a young child. Your feedback is extremely important and will be shared with the team to ensure improvements are made. We hope you will give us another chance in the future. Best wishes - Clare
