Affordable Tuesday game . Good facilities ie American pool and arcades. Annoying that the choice of bowling bowls are spread equally !

All staff were amazing, friendly,kind and patient with all the kids. The party food was a good choice, the kids loved the balloons modeling especially. The price was excellent.

Poor service
We paid for one game. The students wanted another game. The offer was one game priced £4:75. We should have paid for two games priced at £7:50. The manager wouldn’t allow us to pay the difference for a second game after playing the first game. We were told we need to pay in full £4:75 for a second game. Even though the place was empty! Poor service, would avoid. Bowl elsewhere!

Rather disappointing
No air conditioning rather hot, staff walked away when we tried to get their attention. Even when we pressed the call button we got no response.
Food didn't come in reasonable time and felt extremely rushed right at the end.
Quite disappointing

I was told there was aircon and there wasn’t. It was sweltering. The pizzas were not good for the party and the photo booth in the arcade about of order was much is something Helios were looking forward to doing.

Hello Matt,

It was okay but
Although the actual bowling was fun , what ruined it was the fact we were never informed on booking that there would be two birthday parties going on , I had my two special needs children the noise impacted the fun they were having as they were struggling with the noises from the parties , which I understand can not be helped but if we were informed there would two parties until x time we could have booked for a different time , then I tried to cheer them up by going to arcades to find i could not even do that as they do not take credit cards as payment which then caused two meltdowns outside .
Also no ac so we were literally sweating so bad . I can't see us going back anytime soon
