Staff were friendly
Staff were friendly. Good selection of bowling balls. Nice to have table tennis and air hockey too. The pool tables were expensive.

Great place to bowl
The refurbishment at the centre means this is a great place to go. The atmosphere was good and the bowling was great. The arcade was good fun afterwards but just missing a 2p machine

It was a very good karaoke experience however the price is too much for the time that you get.
I would not go again unfortunately due to the price.

Only disappointment were the 2 portions of fries we ordered, they were cold and tasted like they had been reheated.
