In recent months, I have been here for 2 work parties, including a Christmas party. There is plenty to do - in addition to the 10 pin bowling, there is also karaoke, darts and pool. The food is also good - we had the hot buffet both times, although be aware that the buffet has only savoury dishes and not sweet ones.

I had my 40th birthday party there and I can't thank the staff enough. They were all so helpful even in the insane heat we had that day! Also the bar manager was so kind and helpful helping me pick cocktails out for my party and making a special Hello Kitty cocktail for me. I can't rate this place enough. Great venue, amazing staff and delicious food and drink! Thank you for making my 40th so special, and I'm glad you liked the cat ears 😹

Bowling House undoubtedly deserves a 5-star review. The staff, whose names I regrettably didn't ask for, were exceptional hosts throughout our visit. The Bowling House staff which we’ll call the “awesome duo” went above and beyond, mastering a trifecta of entertainment. From the enjoyable and laid-back bowling experience to the inviting atmosphere and brace yourself for this—the absolutely sensational food! My initial expectation was smaller portions so I stupidly ordered extra, but lo and behold, the generous platefuls left us asking for takeaway boxes 😂 The nachos were beyond description—simply cracking “chef's kiss” The burgers were expertly crafted and tasted far better than I’ve had for a while a real treat for this chonky boi’s taste buds (I know my burgers😄) Every part of our experience was impeccably handled, making our night an incredibly enjoyable one. You guys smashed it so heres an extra five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and a fancy extra sixth one 🌟 for the chap that knows how to make ahold cocktail!

Absolutely brilliant. Such a cool vibe, way more enjoyable than your standard bowling alley. The staff are amazing and the milkshakes are to die for. It's nice with kids as it's fairly quiet being only 5 lanes. Really impressed.
