Nice modern bowling alley with a moderate sized arcade. Slow service due to evident understaffing however. Staff were friendly. Would visit again.
All good, went to a 8Y olds birthday party there with our kids, two games lasted around two hours with pizza and chips etc for a group of 10 across two lanes. Been loads of times as adults over the years and will keep going I’m sure!
We did Houdini's escape room, the RMS Titanic one and loved it! James was an excellent host. Can't wait to do another escape room.
Great place to visit on a rainy day. We went mid-week and it was quiet and not expensive. We played bowling, had a game of pool and some lunch, which was good, all for £30. Plenty of parking, which is free for 2 or 3 hrs, best to check on arrival.
Drove past this place whilst staying in the area for a few days and the teenagers were keen to try it. We first went on a Friday afternoon and it was fairly quiet. Loads of bowling lanes available. No need to change shoes as long as you are wearing flat soles and no open toes, just stay off the shiny alley. The price was very reasonable for four of us. We had one game and went on to enjoy the pool tables, air hockey and a bit of the arcade (this bit was expensive). We stayed a couple of hours. We went back the next day (Saturday) and it was busy this time. Kids birthday parties, teenagers and families. There was still room to bowl straight away, but had a short wait for a pool table, but not long. All of the staff were friendly and helpful when one of the pool tables decided to keep the balls. It was noisy on the Saturday with little kids running around everywhere so if a bit of noise and mayhem isn't for you my advice would be to go through the week. A great place to keep kids and adults of all ages entertained for a few hours.
Really fun little place! Heaving with kids, but it was a Sunday so fair enough lol. Deffo had a bit of a facelift since I last went 5+ years ago. Loved the little touch of adding selfies on the scoreboard - very fun! If I find myself here during the week, may try the arcade or laser quest. Was good to see all the stats at the end, too
The staff were very helpful and the bowling is good value. However, I don't like the fact that the pins are now on strings. There were several instances where the pins were leaving over but weren't counted as down, which is particularly annoying when you've got a strike and it only awards you 9.
Although open until 1am, food wasn't available after 9pm. Change is required to play pool. To get change, you have to withdraw banknotes from an ATM, charged at £1.85. You then have to use one of two change machines, neither of which were working. The ten pin bowling was satisfactory.
We booked a children's party here for my son's 8th birthday. The children had a great time and it was good but it did feel very disorganized and I would have preferred more input from the staff. We had a lot of standing around not knowing what was going on, lanes didn't open for a while, we had no help with getting the kids set up despite having booked 4 lanes and the whole thing felt chaotic. Maybe consider a dedicated party Person to assist the parents? The balloon girls were amazing though and overall the kids had a great time which was the main thing, just could have been set up to provide less stress for the parents involved.
Friendly and relaxed, we had a good couple of games of bowling, air hockey and pool. Also ordered food direct to the Isle and generally had a fun couple of hours. Great place to visit.
