Very upset because our score got scrambled and the worker would not let us restart it, so we have no idea who won. It was their mess up so they should let us have a new game with accurate scoring. This is not the first time something like this has happened at this place.

Place is a little run down. Reasonably priced but everytime we go there's always a problem with the lane. When it's swapping the pins some fall or they just come back down at all. It doesn't read the scores very well either. Everytine we go we have to get someone to fix something. Not great. Needs updating

Brilliant little place. Loads of lanes. Arcade with good selection of machines. Small bar. Nice prices and promotions. Very clean and loads of parking.
