Took my children there for their birthday
Took my children there for their birthday, we ordered drinks through the app which never arrived. When we asked for an update we were told the order wasn’t received. We showed them the order confirmation on the app and the confirmed transaction through my bank, this still wasn’t enough and it felt as though we were being accused of lying. The bowling was fun but incredibly overpriced for what it is, poor customer service and overall a bad time. I’d recommend going elsewhere.

We had fun but music v loud.
Prompt check in, friendly staff, clean venue.
We were welcomed and the set up explained. Offer to add names and side bars etc and told how to order drinks and food.
Lighting was good and we had great fun. The range of bowling balls available was good and they were also clean.
The music was too loud and you couldn’t have a conversation, so that was a shame.
We were also plonked right next to a small child bowling party. There were 6-8 year olds constantly running across us as we bowled, sitting on our side having a sulk and we had to be super careful not to clout them as we bowled. This did severely impact our enjoyment. Perhaps keep parties for one section and non parties away from them??? Or parents could control their children better!

Had a great time with our 3 year old
Had a great time with our 3 year old, they loved the arcades and we were at Tenpin for much longer than expected with all the activities bowling and lunch!
There was quite a long wait for lunch and not very many people sitting in the seated area and ordering relatively early - would have been good to get a heads up. Also all the lanes were grouped and mostly children due to school holidays/xmas so sharing the ramp between 2 lanes (3 at one point) slowed the game down quite a bit between 4-7 children in total needing it and waiting.

We'll review the food service timing and ramp availability during peak times to improve the experience. We do hope to see you again soon. Many Thanks - Kimberley
Karaoke
We booked one of the karaoke rooms for a group of friends.
Despite a slight delay in starting our session the time we didn’t lose any time as the timed session started when we were in the room.
All the facilities were clean and service was good despite the venue being so busy.
So much to do in this venue. We would go again.

NO waiting which is so important when we visit due to having a specials needs young man with us.
But the game then stopped ,think the bowling ball got stuck ,noone was there to help quick enough before we were going to have to leave due to a melt down.
Was ok in the end think one or two staff members need to be for bowling only.
But overall ,Good.

Bowling was fine but you could do with a sign at the bar - queue here to order collect other end. I waited at the bar like in a pub and staff kept walking past only when I saw them serving people at the other end who arrived after me did it click - better signage

Bowling and customer service was great
Bowling and customer service was great, but the food. I ordered a large chips, nothing about it was large or warm. So we sent them back, only for them to come back cold. The lady on the desk told me they were fresh as she watched them being put in the basket. They must have been left at least 10 mins before being brought out if that was the case.
Also I must say the Doorman was courteous and polite, but any establishment or worse the tin pot security company they use who allow any licensed premises to have just one person on duty with no back up should get out of the industry quickly. You’re exactly the reason why the security industry has gone downhill. No reputable company would allow the staff to work like that.
