The re-design of the tenpin is a big improvement. Lots of things to do the arcade is good although limiting as both change machines were faulty and so had to ask the bar for change all the time. Pool... See more

Great for big party of 18
Fitted 18 of us in as a family at time we wanted. Everyone enjoyed the session, though the noise level was unnecessarily high from all the games

Dissapointing visit dont go on a hot day
It was a very hot day out when visiting and when we enterd the building there was no aircon it was way too hot to enjoy the experience even the staff were walking round with fans in their hands come on you need aircon in todays era not a very nice experience.
Then had to wait ages for drinks and chips plus when food is deliverd there should be cutlery not everyone wants to eat with dirty hands not good that either. Also we orderd a large chips large i mean there was hardly enough to feed a 5year old you are way too stingy with food portions but not stingy on prices.
Plus to top it off the reception area why has it moved you have to walk way too far to get to it who ever thought of that idea needs more training you should walk in to be greeted by nice smiley reception staff but no you have to walk half a mile to find it again not a great experience place used to be nice whats happened.
Manager in charge get aircon quicker staff in kitchen and bar area move reception area back
bigger food portions then you wont get reviews like this.
Chow!

Our booking was for 3 adults and 3…
Our booking was for 3 adults and 3 children at 11:30. Checking in, there was a little bit of a queue and didn't think anything of it, there was no-one serving at the bar, the young lady was handling both areas. At the time this was the only member of staff we had seen. (taking into account we had been the week before just 2 of us and had a great time) We were told a lane and then told no as that lane and the next one was broken. We went to lane 13 and was greeted with a problem straight away. It only allowed us to enter 1 person, so back off to check in and queue again. We had I believe 2 goes before the lane became jammed, so back off to check in and we were then moved to lane 13. This was ok. Near the end of our first game we ordered two lots of chips. These did not arrive after several walks to check in and also asking the odd member of staff running around. The two lots of chips finally appeared when we had finished our 2nd game. That was around 55 minutes after initially ordering them.
It is clear that they needed more staff to be able to run and keep the place clean. When we walked to sit down to eat our chips the place was full of half eaten food, drinks, rubbish over the tables, the lane tables etc... The whole experience dragged and the youngest child become tired and upset with how long it was all taking.

When a customer comes to you because there is a problem on the lane, please go and resolve it yourself. I shouldn't have to do your job for you.
The pepsi was also 2% syrup and 98% water.
Please remove the prizes from the cabinet that you no longer provide it saves the customer and employee about 15 minutes of back and forth on "oh sorry we dont have this".
Coventry tenpin had a lovely refurbishment its just a shame that the staff are still letting it down.

We enjoyed bowling but lack of staff
We enjoyed bowling, error from staff when setting names on board took along time to be sorted due to low staffing and long queues, then bumpers did not work so had to be moved to another lane.
Ordered 2 x chips via the order at lane, took over 1 hour to come, asked for them at 40 minutes and 1 hour, they arrived around 5 minutes later.
Generally found poor maintenance and lack of staff really has let this venue down.

Book prior
Couldn't do anything as it was all booked out and the escape room which was available you had to complete a lengthy process online and couldn't just book it in person. This is not a walk in you must book prior

Nice to get two games for £10 per person with a drink.
During the visit the bar staff seemed like the didn't want to be there, there were balls stuck in the gutters from the people before us, causing the bumpers to stick when going up and down. The seating area was really narrow and made it quite uncomfortable when people were moving about in between goes because of the perspex devide.
Pretty much every surface i touched was sticky and the lane we were on (6 I think) had an arcade machine next to it that was so loud we had to shout at each other to be heard.

Awful
Awful! They don’t listen to requests re disability even when confirmed twice even the day before … when asked about it they are very confrontational and then dismissive. Completely ruined a birthday party , never again!
