“Had my birthday party here on Saturday and there was one amazing staff member who stood out and helped so much! Some of my friends were late and she moved us back a couple of times to accommodate us so that no-one was left out and she was really helpful with my birthday cake, thank you! 🎂 In terms of the venue, good location and price, lots of things to do nearby, great fun! 🎳”

“Great atmosphere and staff. I came recently with a work group. The manager Rebecca was so helpful in getting us booked in and was even there to greet us on the night, she was so accommodating and super nice, an absolute star and credit to you. The rest of the staff on duty were all amazing too. Would recommend for work nights out, lots of things there to do for families too.”

“Went here on valentines day- we had booked a lane for 3 games and the lane was available almost immediately. The actual bowling was great, spacious comfortable seating and nice touches like cartoon graphics on the score chart. There are a good selection of drinks available at reasonable prices, and arcade games for children. The staff were friendly and attentive.”
