  • "Staff friendly enough which is hard to find in places now."
  • "The staff that day (Sunday) worked hard doing table service for meals and drinks."

Cons:

  • "Found it hard to organise as you have to book times for both gave ourselves an hour and half to play one game of bowling and eat before our play session but staff took too long to seat us at dinner."
  • "Mentioned this to the man in charge and all he wanted to do was argue that it tasted how it should."

  • "The younger staff are a little 'clueless' and lack some interpersonal skills."
  • "Waited to be seated for food but although it wasn't busy, nobody came. Did not get served."
  • "We paid for soft play and they said that we could use after bowling. They didn’t tell us until after that the soft play was shut and refused to refund."
  • "Very unimpressed with the customer service. If you don't like working there why not get a job elsewhere rather than taking out your displeasure on the potential customer."

Cons:

  • "The admission price was very reasonable, but I felt the food was a bit pricey."

  • "Not great value at £7.50 (adults) £6.50 (children) for the bowling - soft play was extra/separate."

  • "Only critique is that it needs a member of staff to watch over the different aged areas."
  • "If you are looking for a quiet place to eat then this is not for you."
  • "The American themed diner coupled with a ten pin bowling alley makes it a tad noisy."
  • "Only downside for us was the music is played quite loudly, great for bowling maybe, but not easy to enjoy a conversation while having a meal!"
  • "As with most of these bowling places, the music is unbearably loud and means everyone has to shout all the time."
  • "Went on Sunday and it was so busy! They just letting too many children in. You could hardly move."
