Staffs are friendly. However, its would have been much better if you added a little bit of brightness or light in the soft play for the children so enjoy more and see the surroundings properly.

Great re-vamp
Great re-vamp. Customer service poor. Very slow on check in and at the bar.
Also when reporting an issue with the ten pin bowling lane. Many of the amusements needed tickets reloading.
For a venue if that size, I think the staff need to work at a better speed

Good, but room for improvement
Great prices and clean environment. Bowling facilities were great and the improvements made to the venue are genuinely fantastic.
However, staff seemed really disengaged and wait times for drinks was too long. Often had staff waiting around chatting instead of supporting customers.

Back to the tenpin after a what looks like a refurbished version. Lots of bright attractive designs and lights to draw people in. Good bowling lanes much more interesting and interactive. Fairly priced drinks including food which was bang average at best but you’re not there for the food and it’s fast so you get what you pay for I guess. Friendly, approachable staff. Laser tag was fun and face paced. Interactive darts could have been better. Overall a good experience and would come back. But probably just for the bowling.

Bowling was great fun as usual, however
Bowling was great fun as usual, however bar staff could do with improvement. Originally tried ordering directly from the bar, but service was slow so ordered on the app to the lane. Waited but my order hadn't turned up and our game had finished (over 20 minutes had passed). Staff at one point seemed to be stood doing nothing. Went over to get a refund. The manager said this should automatically go back to my account after a few days, however I'm still waiting for this to appear in my account.

Revamped
The revamped bowling centre with additional facilities and leisure options has a fun (if slightly noisy) vibe. Could do with more staff on the bar, as lines can be a little long, but otherwise great

Absolutely shocking
Absolutely shocking! Went there for the first time in a long time and since it now has the soft play etc. We waited for food for nearly 2 hours! Totally understand it was crazy busy so we thought we would wait half a hour or so for our food not 2 hours. We asked staff if they could check on our food and kept getting told oh we are busy. Or I’ll go check and they never did as we were sat right by the kitchen. When our food came the pizza’s were all burnt. The chips cold.
We qued for drinks for 25 minutes and only had one staff on the bar. Asked to speak to the manager for a refund as we spent £34 on food and most of it was not edible. We never got to see the manger “couldn’t be found”. Our parking ticket was running out so had to leave but emailed tenpin and not heard back.
They obviously need more staff too keep up with how busy it is now they have the other things to do. Was such a shame as really was looking forward to our family day out and thought it would have been a regular spot now they have the soft play.
I wish I could attach the photos of the pizza’s completely black and burnt.
Terrible food
Terrible customer service or staff not trained enough.
Lack of staff to the amount of customers
And when asked to speak to the manager “couldn’t be found”
We weren’t the only customers who were not happy with the service

Some improvements to be had.
The facilities here are really good. Such a shame that the food and beverages services were so poor. Ordered from the QR code on our table, 40 mins later we were still waiting for 2 drinks. We had to go up to the bar which was about 20 people deep and only 2 staff serving. Other people were also complaining.
The building was very busy, not enough staff to accommodate the need.
If they can sort this bit out then its definitely worth a trip out.
