What it’s like

Ten pin bowling, arcade and redemption games, and a few frames of darts, with free parking on site all day.

A few lanes of ten pin bowling is the main event, with an arcade room alongside for the redemption games and darts if the bowling scores get competitive. It's the sort of set up where you can split the group, half on the lanes and half feeding tokens into the machines, and swap round when someone gets bored of gutter balls.

Parking is free on site, every day, which is one less thing to think about before you've even got the shoes on. There's on site food too, so you're not stuck planning a lunch stop around the visit.

Birthday parties are a big part of what they do here. Bowling or arcade parties both work out at £20 a guest, with a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve, and they're pitched at ages 6 to 17, so this is really a party venue for school-age kids and teenagers rather than toddlers. If you're booking a party, the guest cap means you'll want your list sorted before you call.
