Really good value with the 6-week holiday meal and game deal! We got a burger and fries along with a game of bowling, which made for a really affordable day out. The burger was decent for the price an... See more

Very rude staff
Very rude staff. Ignorant and not helpful. Son had a party there and staff would not tell us which lane the party was in so had to walk around trying to find people we knew in a very busy venue. Me and husband had booked to bowl as well and the woman serving was very rude when trying to explain we had also booked a lane. At the bar the staff were standing around and not serving even though there was a queue and when finally served the server was rude and no manners

First time bowling in a very long time.
It has been a long time since I last went bowling and I decided to take my granddaughter during half term to castle gate in Dudley.
The booking process on line was super easy even for a dinosaur like me. On arrival I had forgotten just how loud it can be in a bowling establishment that has multiple lanes, and amusement arcade and lots of kids! Note to anyone that is affected perhaps take some earplugs!
I used the app to order drinks which again was simple to use.
Our lane was ready on time and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 games played.
All the staff that we encountered were pleasant and helpful.
I would definitely recommend a visit and it certainly won’t be very long before we are back!

Toilets were overflowing
Toilets were overflowing, had to go to disabled toilets which doesn't feel right to do. Staff were pleasant, but it was extremely busy and couldn't hear myself think.

Always worth it
Always go out of the way to visit the Dudley branch although I have one closer. It’s always clean and the staff are friendly and hardworking. Drinks ordered to the lane are brought over quickly. The soft play area is well monitored. I’ve dealt with Anthony a few times as he’s resolved issues with tickets or machines taking money and he always resolves the issue quickly and helpfully.

Disappointed
Bowling was good it was fun but in our last game this lady kept hoovering around and kept staring at us... Then when we got our things to leave the table she started to wipe the table and move our glasses which we hadn't even finished our drinks then the next people was on... Felt really uncomfortable like everything was rushed... If she could off said it she would of told us to hurry up and move... The staff on the floor wasn't much better... My 1.00 coin got stuck in the machine when I told a member of staff she got someone to come over she gave me my coin back but there was no conversation no sorry about that nothing just my coin and gone...

Kids loved it
Kids loved it, but don't think it's fair that you only do partys on a weekend. I paid more on the weekday and still never received a party gift bag for the birthday girl which I think is unfair. I think if you have a certain amount of kids the gift bag should be included considering how much you pay to bowl!
