• "Great evening spent at Lane7. Reasonably priced, bowling and crazy golf brilliant."

• "Came here for 1 game of bowling and a round on the crazy golf course... Everyone was pleasant and we had a good time."

Cons:

• "Went to lane7 to try hippo burger food. Wasnt full menu of hippo burger with no peanut butter burger and no doughnut burger."

Cons:

• "Servers try up sell you food, they seem like they have been forced into doing rounds arbitrarily."
• "The staff seemed engaged but spent quite a lot of time chatting instead of working at one point."
• "First time at Lane 7... the staff were pouring from a soda gun with no syrup and every draught beer was off by the end of the night."
• "Service is slow. I get what they're going for but they've come up very short on execution."
