Staff have always been friendly and available, whether busy times or deathly quiet like this midweek visit.
We initially thought we’d been given a VIP lane as it was nice and clean, private with a touch screen experience. It turns out that’s standard and the main difference seems to be sofas and more space.
The touch screen is easy to use, though do make sure you don’t accidentally choose ‘1 bowler’ thinking that you’re choosing the first bowler, it’s the total number. You then take a group selfie but it’s unclear why/where that displays. Resetting pins is easy (no need to call a manager) and likewise bumpers.
There are two seating areas at either end both with bars but the snooker tables are on the Western end.
There’s an arcade inbetween (works on 10ps with a change machine) that wraps around a Bingo hall that you might accidentally walk into. It’s bright and varied but not as garish or loud as you might expect - though the bowling makes up for the latter.
If you’re an educator (school or home ed) call in advance to take advantage of special pricing. If not though it’s pretty good and there are pre-bookable offers like a drink and two rounds of bowling (ideal imho).
Food is reasonably priced, with standard drinks and alcoholic beverages (think Wetherspoons) which can be ordered to your lane.
There’s a big shared carpark, good toilets and the whole place is accessible. Also lots of ‘bowling frames’ to help those who can’t throw a bowling ball.
We’d go again without a thought, a couple quick rounds it might even be a plan to couple with a movie next door at the Odeon or a shopping trip to Surrey Quays.
We pre ordered the food whilst we bowl but the food arrived with 10min left to play.
The bowling was good if it wasn't for the seriously bad floor administrators.
Both of us hadn't bowled for years, we had loads of fun and managed a few strikes between us.
Good price/quality balans, clean, lively, cheered me right up.
