The staff were very helpful.
The staff were very helpful.
Unfortunately the fuse went off in the karaoke room so the lights turned off, scaring my niece who has sensory issues. The manager spoke very kindly to my niece who was too scared to go back in and she asked if we would like to do bowling instead. Then she asked which lane we would prefer out of the 2 quietest lanes. She was very considerate and my niece ended up having a lovely time. This was the Dudley location.

Software issues…
The software was causing the lanes to foul so we had to wait for that to be resolved and balls kept getting stuck and the pins weren't being collected on each throw meaning we had to bowl twice with the pins down. No offer of any recompense for our time wasted. The venue was dirty and no pleasantries when delivering food and drink to the booth.

All the organisation and staff were good. Unfortunately a lot of the books are damaged quite significantly which made them very bumpy, which you could not only hear but see the change if direction.

The cashier/assistant was very friendly. Booking system worked as expected, and as we arrived slightly earlier than booked, we were allowed to start the game then too.
The only downsides were that Tenpin do not offer NHS discount on a weekend. In addition, for some unknown reason the in-branch price was higher than the online price advertised for the exact same game/people/dates, otherwise I would've booked in-branch.
