Dirty table on our lane
Dirty table on our lane, feel like the cleanliness standards have gone well out of the window! Perhaps some stations of blueroll and cleaning spray would be handy. Staff took away all the glasses, but didnt bother to clean the surfaces. Would be useful to have some coat hooks attached to screens also.
Service was extremely slow and we didnt get started until 40 mins after our start time.

Birthday Treat
The staff at the venue are awesome! Really helpful and friendly. The venue itself is clean and tidy. The only reason why I am deducting one star is because the bowling balls are really past their best and could do with replacing. Other than that a really nice day out

Absolutely freezing in this place
Absolutely freezing in this place, didn't have a good time. Also thought it would be cheaper booking online but it works out more expensive as they have a booking fee, so annoying
