    It's a very expensive place with a limited menu, the kids meals are great but they have a pizza oven and don't do garlic and cheese pizza! The menu is so basic and almost boring. The bowling is over priced and bad quality, the lanes are in poor condition and the overall experience is poor compared to a proper bowling alley and I wouldn't mind but you pay so much so it deserves criticism. Overall the atmosphere is great and it's great for families but because of the price you can only once or twice a year.

    Unfortunately when we were seated we were not advised that there was a 45 + minute wait for our food! We were told to order via the QR code or go up to the counter. As this was a Father’s Day lunch ( after bowling upstairs with 6 adults) we proceeded to order for our table, share plates and pizza….. 40 minutes went by when we asked how far off our lunch was, we were told we were busy and our food would be another 25 minutes!!! When we asked if we could cancel our orders they had to check with the manager. She proceeded to refund our meals but offered no apology or acknowledgment of their poor communication and service. Maybe communicate with customers when they book tables and check in with your customers! Not a great Father’s Day experience

    fantastic venue great fun. Service very very good and most enjoyable for kids and adults. I think a 2.5 to 4 hour session for either a kids party or adult fun works well. Thankyou.

    I always love the food here! General public is so much fun. I went with a group of girls and we had the best night. Only downside was being seated closer to the entrance which was a tad cold. Besides that, it’s a perfect spot for so many occasions.
