Bringing Food Whilst Bowling …
The two children I brought to bowling plus myself really enjoyed ourselves but one aspect of the booking I don’t agree with is the fact of bringing food to the group whilst playing a game of bowling. Totally inappropriate so much so that I asked to have our lunch after we had played our game. I really think the practice of bringing food whilst people are still playing is most definitely something you should stop doing asap.

Disappointed with our visit
Disappointed with our visit. Ordered drinks via the qr code, they took 40 minutes to arrive for 4 drinks. Bowling was almost an hour late, the little one did not like waiting almost an hour for their turn! We then went to the toilet to find a USED tampon on the floor in the women’s bathroom. Definitely will not be rushing back.

Got there on time and still had to wait…
Got there on time and still had to wait 20 mins for our lane to be free- but I guess the fault's on the previous bowlers, really enjoyed playing pool with my friends though there's tons of pool tables to go around. Only thing mildly annoying is that the photobooth was 'card only' and the card machine was out of service so it said to pay with cash... which we couldn't do... cause its card only

Was not working correctly and kept making players miss a go, resulting in a dissatisfaction complained but as busy could not move lane . Manager would not refund even though your faulty machine. Family were up from Kent for a day so ruined day of what was meant to be a family day

Not really a proper bowling alley. Unsupervised kids. Noisy and chaotic.
Not really a proper bowling alley. Seating is literary a single bench and a movable table shared between the lanes. Loads of little kids running up and down between the lanes and walking around and playing with bowling balls ready to break their toes or someone else’s. 4 lanes of kids with just 2 uninterested parents supposed to be in charge. The pool tables are right behind and it all feels super cramped and super noisy. Wouldn’t go back. I’d rather go somewhere like gravity max.

I've been coming here for almost 18 months as a Personal ( care) Assistant to the Kingston Rotunda. We love our time here. The young staff are very friendly , helpful and cater for all our needs and are very understanding. The bowling is easy to set up and fun to play. There are heavy, medium and lightweight balls and plenty of each. It's very good value and we get immense pleasure from being here.

Had a good time
Had a good time. Process to book and check in is really straight forward. Lane set up on the computer was really easy. Everything worked well. The only negative is that the area was a little tight - a small bench for 5 people and their coats. Table service with the app was quick. Overall a brilliant afternoon.

Was assigned a lane in use
Was assigned a lane in use, so started late despite other lanes being free. Staff did not activate lane when it did become free so we had to chase up and wait further.
