Been a while since I've been, so don't know what an acceptable game of bowling costs these days (£15 person for two games), but the place hasn't really changed. Came to play bowling but the music was so loud I left with a sore throat from having to shout. Biggest shock came when I paid for parking. £5 for 45 minutes is disgusting!! In no rush to go back.

gaaaa what can I say, up date your bowl lane Technology its archaic and very unreliable, we was bowling this evening yeah, the lane kept on breaking down to the point we had to move lanes, we was with a big group (we had three lanes) I was on the the lane with 5 others that played up, so anyway the other 2 lanes finished ahead of us while we trailed behind etc, luckily we got a refund (for just our rubbish lane) or else this review would be a one star review. still a good Experience, but like I say update that Ancient lane and computer systems.

The bowling lanes are in need of replacement always breaking down, balls getting stuck etc. Furnishings such as seating looks tired needs replacing and a better procedure to inform maintenance staff of breakdowns.

Took my two young children here for their birthdays. We ordered food to our lane as they “had no more space” in the restaurant considering most tables we’re empty during our whole visit, we took the 10% card with us to order and the lady who took our order was so rude, acted as if it was too much hard work to take the order and even checked the menu to see if one of the items were on the menu, considering she worked there it’s beyond me why she didn’t know the menu.. we paid and realised we didn’t get the 10% off so asked if that could be put on and she told us no it’s already been paid for in full price -Everyone who pays for bowling is entitled to the discount so seems a bit odd that this wasn’t put on in the first place so we asked if we could speak to the manager. The manager had a very similar attitude; she was wording things odd saying that she couldn’t give us a refund for the 10% because we paid by card -at first we went to just walk away but my husband said well can’t you give me the 10% back in cash to which the manager said “it’s only a couple of quid” to which my husband said well yes if it’s “only a couple of quid” you won’t mind giving me back what I’m entitled to, she said it would take a while so we waited and finally got reimbursed. Once our food arrived and as we was eating we noticed a worker was ‘supervising’ us for the rest of our visit- awful treatment considering we paid for 4 adults and 2 children expecting to have a little celebration for my kids birthdays luckily they were oblivious being only 4 & 7.
This was a lovely place to visit before this experience and we would try and have a family day out here at least once a month but will be looking elsewhere in future.
I don’t understand why they have offers available if they don’t want people to have them- I can only guess they’ll be pocketing that 10% each time someone don’t question it so that must of been why they had such bad attitudes 🤷🏽♀️

Could you please advise me why there is a plastic screen between one table and not the other
Drinks were being knocked over due uk the plastic abs swinging between the table amusing drinks to get knocked over
one group of staff couldn’t talk to each other
The other group in the other 2 lanes could as they didn’t have the plastic thing we had
We took throne divide down as we were all in the same group from the same workplace and to avoids loosing anymore of the overpriced expensive drinks
a member of staff who was quite rude stormed down and put it back up knocking drinks all over the floor and 2 members of my staffs phones
Also my staff were being accused by bar staff for buying drinks for other underage staff
The whole night was cut short we k my ect before we had even finished the first game
And we all left very annoyed and unhappy
Felt sorry for my staff as they have all worked hard. And deserved a night out

Came here for a Christmas party on the 27th November 2021 had the best night ever the host Dee was amazing and was always there when we had a problem with the lane her customer service manner was very professional. Stuart was also there to help with the lane issues. Casey and Laura was also very helpful with any enquiries we had. I want to thank you for an amazing night and I will definitely be booking again.

When we arrived shoes were not suitably cleaned...when we asked tge staff clearly weren't concerned the lane gutter was blocked by a ball the entire time we played and the when the pins were lifted the machine wS faulty and pins dropped ..when it finally stopped mid game we asked to be checked no one came but it reset and we made the best of a bad job...until I had to take my son to the toilet omg it was dreadfull we finished our game and didn't stay for dinner...its the same price as derby bowling lanes but at least the screening is between each lane. This place was dirty not well managed not working properly and the staff are not realy in the right jobs

Hi,
What car racing arcade machines are there on the place? I tried looking up on the website, but couldn't find a list.
Thank you!

I'm just wondering if you have any plans with the space where wimpy used to be as I have noticed it has closed down. perhaps any new entertainment for that space, or perhaps a new cafe or restaurant, or is the space going to just stay closed for the foreseeable future.

Hi, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we don't currently have pool tables available at this location.
We do have a 26 lane Bowling Alley, Children's Soft Play Area, Adventure Mini Golf, a fine selection of Video / Amusement machines plus a fully licensed bar.

Hi what has happened to the seaside kids beach
Strykers
1 contribution
Thank you for your question. After much deliberation, we reluctantly took the decision to remove the popular 'Kids Beach' facility, due to a few unforeseen technical issues.
This facility has temporarily been replaced by a giant ball pool but we are delighted to announce that a new and exciting, long-term replacement will be installed in the near future. Watch this space.
