Such a fun party for all

Aga was so attentive and really made my daughter and her friends have such a fun time. Great prizes too for their strikes and spares and lovely food with refilled jugs of squash. Really loved the goody bag too. Many thanks.

The booking process was easy

The booking process was easy, and the staff in Kingston were incredibly helpful. We arrived late and needed to change our time slot, and they were very accommodating and assisted us without any issues. The overall experience was great, and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

Was not aware that games were time sensitive and despite enormous efforts from your Norai, 2 bowls were needed to decide the winner of a highly competitive match. Battled to get results from your system too. Booked for 3 and then wanted to have a 4th, again a problem. All your staff were, however, extremely helpful and really did try their best

Terrible service, worst cocktail ever

It was on the day of the heat wave 25/05, was expecting to enjoy a cool relaxed environment with a cocktail, but got opposite of. It was hot inside, the guy at the bar was acting as if it was our fault it was hot, miserable. We asked for a jug of cocktail, we got half jug of ice cubes and barely any cocktail, it was meant to be mojito, we got a drink with no mint leave, when we requested for it, he went got three leaves inside the jug and just dumped it on the table and walked away. Waooo, we actually paid to be treated like that.

They were really accommodating, allowing us to pushback our booking as members of the group were stuck in traffic. Staff very friendly and helpful.
