Lewisham Lanes

Nice place it is a bit old so there's that but has a load of lanes and a few arcade games there are some loud children some times but go at the right time and it is perfect!

Went along tonight with my children and had a really nice time, The place looks lovely since the revamp and The staff went above and beyond to make our trip with the kids a pleasant one, We ordered food and on arrivial with our food they brought us out a complimentary pizza because they were slow with our order ( I honestly didn’t think they were slow at all we probably waited all of 10/15 minutes for our food in which time we were busy playing our game) I needed some hot water for my babies bottle and whilst waiting my little girl was getting a bit bored and the lovely lady who I believe is the manager gave her a light up toy to keep her entertained. Honestly cannot fault the staff at all nothing seemed to much trouble for them at all.

Usually a nice spot but

1) though the closing time is at 11pm, at 9:45pm they won’t let you start bowling. This isn’t made clear anywhere

2) those on the tills are unwilling to give you change for notes to play the arcade games though there is no machine to give you coins. Seems like a new policy as they use to be willing to give change.

3) an hour before closing they are closing up everything, cleaning and turning off machines.

I’m not sure if this stuff is now a policy for staff or staff members are doing this off their own backs but it doesn’t make it pleasant to go there

Absolutely amazing first visit! Had an amazing time, staff friendly and helpful, can't wait to return! Great menu as well, sadly they were deep cleaning kitchens but very excited to try next time especially with the gluten free options - never seen so much choice for my girlfriend! Thanks so much.

We went with three adults and three children. When we started bowling, the side barriers were up. Great for the kids as the ball cannot go down the side. However, adults would like it if the side barriers were down. Asking a worker there, she said that we could not lower the side barriers as we could choose up or down. This cannot be changed per bowler.
For serious bowlers, avoid.
For kids, it's great.

Oh boy, do you ever have to fight to get served to get onto your lane. Perhaps it was a particularly busy spell, but it was hard to know how to respond to the bloke wearing the "manager" top telling me that he couldn't help me because he hadn't served before. "Oh right, so I'll just wait here for another 10 minutes for the lady that did serve me, and took our names, to just reappear at the front desk?" Great system team!

A perfect bowling place to visit. Friendly staff, looking lovely after refurbishment, great lights and live dj music on a Saturday night (great songs throughout). A nice bar.

Thank you to the man working on 6.1.23 at 5pm who helped my daughter and her friends with setting up & throughout the games. Wish I could thank you personally, my 14 year daughter really enjoyed her birthday 😀👍
