Strikes

Easy to book online, reasonably priced. £39.50 for 2 adults & 3 kids for 1 game. Lots of different weight / size bowling balls available. Food and drinks are well priced too. A small arcade to have a look around too. Car park is ample just a bit narrow in places!

Really friendly staff, great service and a great asset to the town for ages 0-100! Planet Zoom provided us with many fun rainy afternoons when t he kids were little and we had some amazing parties here! Bowling here is relaxed and fun and the bar, arcades and pool tables make it a great place to keep enjoying now the kids are teenagers.

Off the beaten track, but hidden away is this little gem, bowling, bar, food, fun, arcade, and even a jungle gym. Mark and may were superb as hosts. Knowledgeable staff, who couldn't be more helpful than they were, and made my visit a real treat. And may can cook up a hearty meal. I couldn't ask for more, the place has everything. Can't wait til I'm here again

Right off the bat, this is a review of the kids soft play and climbing area. We didn't use the bowling facility. We arrived at 2pm and just walked in and paid for our child to use the place at the desk, no pre-booking required. The price was £5.50. I asked how long we had, and the guy literally looked at his watch and said to about 4:30 or 5. So it appears we just got the rest of the day. I was expecting a few hours, or slots of time, but it seems you just get to go in and stay? The apparatus is good, with plenty of multi level walkways, easy to climb steps, and no falling hazards or "holes" to lower levels. I know this because I went in and took a full tour with my son. Purely for research purposes of course. There is easy viewing access to 90% of the play area from the ground. At the front there is a "toddler only" area called off for kids up to 4 years old to play safely. There are plenty of tables and chairs Infront of the climbing area. There is a full menu of hot and cold food, and coffee is available, although it is not included in the printed menu, so just ask at the counter when you order. All of our orders were brought to the table by very friendly staff. The food was decent and filled a hole. There is a vending machine with cross and chocolate. Every item is a pound. Toilets are located right in the play area. My son had a great time and we ended up staying for 4 hours. Parking is quite spacious, and I am sure if you really had to you could park in the leisure centre or Morrisons and walk. Edit: Nov 4 2023 Tried the Strikes bowling facility for the first time. We could only book 1 game even though they're were 4 lanes empty, so it would seem practical to call ahead as they obviously do a good trade in pre-booked games. No need to wear bowling shoes if you have "proper" trainers on. Decent selection of ball sizes and finger holes. Send like a silly comment but I've been to quite a few bowling alleys where there wasn't a single ball I could fit my fingers into. All players are put up on the board by the staff before you play. The lane next to us broke down quite a few times (lane 1) but the techs were there quickly to set it right. For 2 adults and a child, on a Saturday at 1 in the afternoon it came to just over £21. But due if they do a print out of your game scores, but if I had to hedge my bets I'd say probably not. You can always ask. Good fun. Need to practice!!!
