powercuts & lost money

£6 went down the drain after trying to play the godzilla kingkong vr game and £2 was lost on the baskeball hoop games. right before the game could even start, the power went out and continued to go out 5 more times. when asked for our £8 back (we paid via coins), we were told to wait for the power to come back on to retrieve our money. what did gaining coins back have to do with the electricity? by this time it was already past 9pm and had to head out as we had children with us that were falling asleep, so we were unable to gain our money back. very disappointing as our first time visiting was good and there were more games available and working compared to this time around.

The staff and manager said no to change our food order. We would have been willing to pay any extra but was not given the choice. We felt very disappointed as the manager was clearly not concerned about customer satisfaction. This issue could have been easily sorted. We did not eat the food that we had to have.

Don't waste your money!

The website wasn't clear about what we were booking. The booking included a meal for the children which they never got. I made a complaint but no one has been in touch at all. The music is so loud you can't talk to your family members when bowling. The laser tag room is tiny. Don't waste your money!
