Tenpin Chichester Reviews Summary

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "We got severed by Levi who was friendly and helpful."

• "The staff were all very friendly and attentive, with service being very efficient."
• "Staff very friendly and place very hygienic."

Cons:

• "Very shabby and staff quite uninterested in the children's party."
• "Absolutely shocked of the behaviour and rudeness of some staff."

Facilities and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The new refurb looks great and had made a big difference."
• "Toilets were clean and they have live Sky Sports playing in the restaurant."
• "Awesome place to have your team bonding party (that's what we did). Newly refurbished, so it has fresh atmosphere of an 'American diner'."
• "Nice modern bowling centre with nice atmosphere and friendly staff."
• "Great modern bowling lanes! Looks good inside and offers a nice atmosphere."
• "The bowling area was nice and clean."
• "Good quality bowling experience here."

Cons:

• "Left child and friends to bowl in the dark, artificially lit space with pipped pop music."
• "Wouldn't be that annoyed if it was dull but it was 10am and only one other family in there. Shocking, better off buying one of the plastic sets and hitting the beach."
• "It's noisy, the light is poor with disco lighting and the cartoon channel is playing continuously, ensuring that any children zone out rather than interacting with their family."
• "This place is in desperate need of a renovation, it's looking very shabby in places, especially the floors and carpet, but didn't stop us having a great evening and the staff were very friendly and helpful."
• "What a dump I believe they're going to be doing up soon carpets absolutely disgusting filthy everything looks dirty and run down wouldn't recommend anybody uses this place."
• "An older bowling centre. There were very few available balls and the lanes broke down frequently."
• "The lanes had not been oiled!"

Value for Money

• "Booked in advance for 3 people with 2 games and a free burger and chips for £22!"
• "Tuesday is half-price so great value for money."
• "Drinks are even half price so got a pint for £2.05."
• "Had one game of bowling which included some food for £20 so great value and strangely cheaper than a single game without the food."
• "Great value Tuesday offer meant that we bowled a lot over the summer holidays!"
• "My grandson birthday 5yrs loves bowling we had 1 hr for 6 Inc large pizza 🍕brought to lane £30 enough time to complete game good value and we all enjoyed our visit .... and he beat us all again!!"
