All Star Lanes was the location of our company Christmas party back in December; I knew very early on in the year but, due to our strategy for keeping people excited for the event, had to keep it a secret! The booking process was simple from the beginning and they were clear about technical aspects such as payment terms etc. Although we explained it was a secret event and never to use the landline, they unfortunately did - they also didn't seem to take us off their sales list, meaning we got endless calls about having an event, despite already booking with them! Sigh. They redeemed themselves on the night. Based in the Jungle Room, a leopard carpeted treat, we had two lanes to ourselves and a plethora of food and drinks. We had everything from pigs in blankets to deep fried mac & cheese fritters; these aren't your usual canapes, and they're more than happy to lay on a tasting if you're curious as to what you should serve. Staff knew exactly what was in the cocktails, as requested, and bar service ran fairly smoothly - it did get rather busy once all the pre-bought drinks had gone and people flocked to the bar, but they soon got used to it and kept up! They were also very patient; once we've all had a few, it can get a bit rowdy i.e. people thinking it funny to walk on the actual bowling alley, but noone felt put out at any time and they communicated with as frequently. Great place for any event you might be planning. read more

I've always loved bowling, even though I suck at it (I blame my weak wrists, not the technique - ha!) And even though I lost 3 games to nil I really enjoyed my afternoon in All Star Lanes. This place is pretty great if you're looking for somewhere fun to go where you can have a few games of bowling, some drinks and eats too. I didn't eat here, although I have heard good things about the food, it was a little early in the day and we had booked Reds True BBQ for dinner so I didn't want to eat too much beforehand. The 3 games of bowling I had here with my friend from London were so much fun! I didn't have the barriers up either..! Yey! But still lost. We drank beer and cocktails for hours and had a blast. Pretty sure anyone who comes here with mates is going to have a fab time! read more

I'm not a bowling fan. For some reason I just can't seem to do it... I usually start off ok but then get cocky and end up being rubbish. I avoid it as much as possible but have bowled at both All Star Lanes and Dog Bowl. All Star is my favourite for its American style charm and family friendly lanes. I have eaten here a few times. It is the ideal location after a couple of drinks and I've usually ended up here later on after some rum based cocktails at Revolucion De Cuba. The cocktails are varied with a great mix of spirits and strengths. My favourite is the roller girl made with bubble gum syrup! Food wise I would recommend the steak sandwich with added roquefort but be mindful it is served VERY rare unless you ask for it otherwise. I am also a fan of the goats cheese and beetroot salad if you are watching your waistline. I do think the food is expensive especially if you are expecting the traditional bowling alley type prices we usually have in the UK. read more

Went here for my sisters birthday and it was brilliant. The booking process was really easy and if you want to eat either before your bowling they can link your booking so you have plenty of time to enjoy your food and then go for your bowling. My sister was running late and they simply shifted everything to accommodate! Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. They have at lane drinks service so you don't have to loose your bowling flow to get some refreshment! We had a really good night and the birthday card and cocktail that they gave my sister was a really lovely touch- would recommend. Yes the bowling isn't t the cheapest ( we went on a Thursday at 7.30pm) but i really enjoyed it if you want to have a more pocket friendly evening go on a Monday when its 2 games for £10 - can't grumble at value like that read more

I was slightly upset by how expensive a relatively tame night out for 2 here turned out to be (£85 for 2 bowling games, 2 non alcoholic drinks, 2 alcoholic drinks, 1 starter and a mains) HOWEVER I did have a really good time. I alternated between gutter balls and scoring 9 with the skill that only a person who has developed the technique my friend christened the "lob and score" can attain. The bowling area is of course much fancier then your average alley and there is table service which means you can easily "enhance" your game with a delicious milkshake (which featured whisky, honey, and ginger). I had been looking forward to the deep friend mac n cheese and it didn't disappoint. The pulled pork roll was fairly good and the fries were excellent. The hot dog looked good too - not a skinny little dog but a substantial sausage (I really can barely type substantial sausage but I didn't know how else to put it. I can't believe I've now typed it twice). I didn't realise toppings were £1 extra each so be careful if those are offered to you. Root beer float was very heavy on the ice cream so it's more of a slightly medicinal milkshake,r really. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I was surprised it was so quiet on a Sunday night because previously we tried to come on a Saturday and it was completely rammed but actually I think it's much nicer to come when you can chat easily and it's not really bustling, although I imagine the atmosphere on those nights is good too. It's also bigger and less hipstery inside than I was expecting. It's slightly more glam than somewhere like Brooklyn Bowl, especially the bar area. The rock n roll music was awesome! read more

Got asked to come along by a friend and so I did never realy heard much about all star lanes as I mainly stick to northern quarter. Walked in the decor was nice and receptionist was friendly enough. We got seated at our table and there was a large rowdy group sat opposite out table being loud. The server was nice and friendly where he started to reel of a load of stuff that was not avaliable on the menu this was dispointing as it limited what I could eat The meal well what can I say butter milk chicken burger was one of the worst versions of this I have had and tasted as for the texture is what rubbery. There was not very much chicken inside and mainly padded out with veg. On a whole a bad first experience but willing to try again on another day to see if they where just having a bad day. I would recomend they offer a sharing or slider for people who are indecisive sort of a tasting menu. read more

All Star Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Manchester, XGM

There's a place in L.A that i visited many a time when there... It's a place I dream about at night and whilst I'm in work, especially at the weekend's and when I see that warm summer sunshine. That place is called K24. The place is open 24/7 and it's the type of place that serves the food you need to last you a day or cure the hangover from last night. My experience here dragged me back to that amazing place. Upon sitting down in the restaurant, it had a 50's style diner theme, fitting music and booths to sit in. I LOVE booths! The comfort! It was our first time visiting and the waiter, upon us confirming this, explained the food menu was "the type of food to recover from a hangover, especially the pancakes and waffles". Challenge accepted! However, having a gluten intolerance, I chose to go for the Poached egg with hollandaise sauce. I even ordered chips as an extra... The eggs were perfect, soft, well cooked, runny sauce from the middle and the sauce wasn't too runny and definitely not thick. It came with spinach (NOM!) and looked the bees knees! (See the photo's I attached!). The milkshake I ordered was strawberry, with thick ice cream and real strawberries blended in to it. My mind goes blank here... I think it was the food coma. Oh yes! Then we went bowling - our own semi-private lane?! For real?! Oh yes! If you book in advance (we literally booked the restaurant seats followed by 2 games for £10 each an hour before we went). £10 for 2 games on a Monday! SCORE! So from this booking, we ended up with a semi-private lane, cool lighting, personalised names on the score board prepared before we arrived and a retro 50's fridge next to our stylish leather seats. Sam M. whooped my butt at bowling again but it was fun and the pins reset speedily. I was disappointed to return the shoes, more stylish and fresh than my own, but very happy with my experience. GO AND VISIT! read more

Loads of bowling lanes, the drinks are really good, especially my new favourite cocktail from there called Honey Pot - honey whiskey, apple juice and ginger, I think - it's amazing! The food is delicious as well, I wasn't actually expecting it to be as good as it was the first time I ate there. The squid starter which I've posted a pic up of is great, just because the presentation of it in a little Chinese take away box is so cute! But everything I've tried on the menu has been fab. It usually ends up being a fairly expensive night, especially if you're drinking a few cocktails and you've got to add on the price to bowl, but I think it's definitely worth it. I've been here for a few friends' birthdays and I think as a venue if you're with a big group of people or an occasion like that, its perfect! :) read more

All Star Lanes - Look how they do popcorn squid starter here! So cute :D - Bowling Near Me - Manchester, XGM

I've been to All Star Lanes a couple of times now and they were both for work social nights out, so I can't really comment on the prices of the bowling itself, as my company paid for all that. However, as a venue overall, it's a really cool place to spend a couple of hours with family, friends or colleagues knocking down some pins and knocking down some American beers and/or cocktails. For our evening we had the use of their private room which had two lanes, its own bar, bowling shoe racks and unisex WCs so you're pretty much self-sufficient in there. As part of our package we were provided with innumerable trays of finger food (the pulled pork mini burgers and 'meat rolls' were two personal highlights). The food was extremely good and everyone commented on the generous amounts we were getting. Drinks-wise, as they have a captured audience in there we were paying £4.50 for a smallish American beer (I can't comment on spirits or cocktails), but be prepared for highish prices. Of the previous bowling alleys I've been too, this is definitely one of the best run, with 50s decor throughout and very accommodating staff. If you're stuck for party venue ideas, this is a great one. read more

All Star Lanes - All Star Lanes' Private Room - Bowling Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Been here a few times and its a really nice, cool looking venue. They have gone for the 1950s American Diner sort of feel and its good place I think to go with a group - have a few games of bowling, have some drinks and eat some food. The first time I came here was actually during the launch and was crazy busy. I remember being at the bar - in one of the private rooms - and spending ages there watching the bar staff take ages over each cocktail. By the time it got to me being served, he said he was not making an cocktails as it took too long. A bit disappointed but understandable with the number of people waiting. I had a go on the bowling - there were just 2 lanes in this private room - and they seems a bit shorter than normal bowling lanes. I think it was just an "optical illusion" though. And hopefully they were not shorter because my score was awful!! My excuse is that I had not been bowling in ages - my only bowling recently-ish had been on the Wii!! Its not as easy to spin it and it can be more painful after awhile! All Star Lane has 2 private rooms in total - the other one is not as big and not as private - and I think it doesn't have its own separate bar. I have not eaten here but have drank here and had some of the cocktails which I liked. If you dont fancy eating in All Star Lane, you have a options nearby - a couple places next door, others across the road and Spinningfields is just a few minutes walk away. All Star Lane have various offers on - some regular, some special. For example, there is a special on Mothers Day this Sunday - free glass of presecco and dessert for everyone. They have a regular offer on Mondays which they called Groundhog (Mon)Day where you get 2 games for £10. The diner has an offer this month I think which is a special Godfather burger. Overall its a nice place and I reckon a good venue if organising a big group event. read more

I am surprised no one has written a review for this place till now --- OK I know it has just opened up a few weeks ago but it is impossible to miss if you are a regular at AMC. I went there for a Yelp UYE last night and much thanks to Gary C for organizing a bowling night there. To be honest before I went there I was expecting something on the lines of Ten Pins or something very sporty with lot of noise and chaos. I was literally bowled over (pun intended) once I entered All Star Lanes. It is such a perfect place to spend an evening. There is a bar area once you enter which looks rather swanky, when you go further inside there is a posh restaurant (need to try it out because I had a sneak peak at others table and the food looked delicious) and finally there is the bowling lanes. Meal, Cocktails and Bowling sounds like a perfect evening out for me! We booked one lane for the event because we had 6 people (max 7 people in a lane) and it was 10 pounds per person for 2 games. Each game usually last about an hour or more depending on the number of people you have. You can keep a tab at the bar and get drinks while rolling those balls and hitting a strike (I didn't get even one :( tsk tsk ). The drinks are not extremely cheap but I guess you pay for the service. The bar staff were extremely friendly and sweet so were the really pretty girls behind the till at the Bowling alley. Verdict: I had a FAB time and definitely going back again! read more

General Manager David Allen THREW his name card at me. --- It was initially a good afternoon. My mate and our partners were at All Star Lanes for lunch. Everything was great with lunch, food was delicious, paid our bill and went out for a walk as we had an hour to spare, before coming back for our pre-booked bowling slot, for four persons. Whilst out walking, our wives decided they didn't want to bowl anymore, so just my mate and myself came back. When registering, we were told that there was a one game limit per person. It was our fault for not questioning why, we just went along with it. Definitely our fault for this. Ten minutes into the game, we realised that we had made a booking for four people, so if only two showed up, wouldn't that be two games each? Why were we limited to only one game? I went back to the counter to clarify this, and was told quite rudely by the General Manager, David Allen, that I had not indicated I wanted two games per person, and now it's too late as they had booked another group after us. When I informed him that I had not been given a choice, and was told there was a one game limit per person, he denied this. We went back and forth for a minute before I realised there was no point in continuing the argument. Additionally, he was very rude and condescending, so I just asked for his name, to which he replied, "David". I then asked for his last name, when he said very smugly: "Want my namecard? I'm the GENERAL MANAGER." I said: "Sure", to which he pulled out a namecard from his wallet, and THREW IT AT ME, bouncing it off the counter. Now, I can put up with a lot of things. I can put up with bad food, slow service, accidents, mistakes. A lot of things happen on the dining floor, and as a former waitstaff, I know how stressed and tired people can get. However, David Allen obviously felt he was untouchable as the GENERAL MANAGER. Of course, who could I complain to? I assume he's the highest ranking employee in the Great Northern, Deansgate branch. It was an absolutely disgusting experience. At no time did I raise my voice, nor use vulgarities, nor blame him for anything. I did indicate frustration with the situation, and asked for his first and last name. Was that worth David Allen throwing his name card at me? Who knows. I'll let you be the judge. Obviously, as David Allen feels that because he is the General Manager, he is untouchable, a copy of this feedback, along with additional details, will be sent via post to corporate headquarters. read more

The (long and) short of it: Service and karaoke were fantastic, bowling and food were good but pricey. I'm an American college professor and I led a group of 10 students on a week-long trip to the UK (London and Manchester). In planning this trip, I had been looking for available forms of entertainment that would make for a fun evening for my students. A few weeks before our departure, I came across All-Star Lanes and listed it as a recommendation on our itinerary. I wasn't sure how it was going to go for us since it seemed like it was best to book bowling and karaoke in advance. Thankfully, we decided to go on a Thursday evening (right when the UK was on the precipice of the COVID-19 pandemic) so we were able to walk-in and eat, bowl, and sing. We were initially told there would be a one-hour wait to bowl after our meal but we ended up being able to bowl immediately after our meal. The meal itself was decent (or "mint," as the Mancs say) but not great and a bit on the pricey side...but I expect that from a place that does food and entertainment. The customer service agents staffing the bowling desk, both upon our initial arrival and throughout the evening, were phenomenal -- they fully and patiently explained how everything worked and they were great with me and my students (I really wish I could remember these agents' names so I could give them shoutouts!) We were able to split up our group into two bowling lanes with 5 players each (one of my students skipped the night out) and the lanes were clean, though one of them malfunctioned a couple of times -- resetting only nine pins instead of 10. At 10 pounds per person, the bowling was a little pricey (in the states, it's often $5-$8 pp) but we still enjoyed our time. I personally think the karaoke, which was immediately available to us after bowling, was the highlight of the evening. It was only 5 pounds pp and the selection of songs was huge! The 10 of us probably got to sing for about 1.5 hours. I think our only complaint about the karaoke room was that there was very little ventilation, so the room was quite warm, even after we asked the staff to adjust the temperature. Nevertheless, we all still had a great time and if/when I bring a group of students back to Manchester, I'll make sure to include All Star Lanes on our itinerary! read more

Not my normal type of place and for what you get I think a little expensive. The staff are polite although one did accidentally spill drinks all down one of our party, so no points there. I had a salad which was under dressed, but the rest of my party had burgers and seemed fairly happy with them, I just felt like there are far better options in Manchester if you want a burger, and you are likely to get sides as part of the cost. read more

Definitely more glamorous than Dog Bowl, but a little bit more expensive so it depends what you're looking for really. My friends had tried to book a bowling lane in advance, but they were told that this could only be done if you booked a table and ate as well so we decided to just chance it. There were six of us and we enjoyed the large tabled seating area surrounding the bar whilst we supped on their weird yet wonderful cocktail selection. It did take me multiple reads of the menu to decide which drink to order as there is a large selection. I ordered a rum based cocktail which was described as 'The Zombies' sibling so I knew full well it was gunna be fruity, strong and delicious and it certainly was. After about half an hour we were told that a lane had become available so we wandered over and changed our shoes. I was extremely surprised when we were informed that we could start a tab and the staff would take our order and bring across our drinks so that we didn't have to disturb our game. The lanes are super trendy and in pristine condition. The screens of course played silly bowling cartoon clips between each persons go, but that's all the fun. The staff were amazing and the cocktails were delicious. This would certainly be a great place to start a night out, or for a large birthday celebration. read more

We went to All Star on a Tuesday night when Utd were playing in the Champions League which probably explains why it was actually pretty quiet as usually most days it's hard to get a lane unless you book well in advance. I do really like the concept of All Star having visited them in a few times in London before they moved up here as they're pretty swanky, well looked after, modern and fresh but still with a classic glamorous look and feel to them. They do specials on a Monday of £10 for 2 games and I believe if you have a yellow Spinningfields card then discounts can be yours most days of the week! The bar is fairly well stocked with beers (even though the bar man offered to talk me through the beer menu in case I didn't understand them because "they're all American" - I was then hoping for something really unique but really all they had was Sam Adams, Brooklyn and Goose Island Honkers so pretty standard) and the cocktails were going down really well with the girls in our group! I always enjoy bowling (probably the idea of bowling more than the actual game once a few gutter balls go down) and it's a great night out with friends. Can't wait to go again, I could probably just do with being a little less like Mr Burns in the classic Simpsons pin pals episode! read more

Its been so long since i've been bowling so I headed here on a Saturday evening after hearing good things I made sure I booked in advance! We arrived a little early however it was nice and relaxed as we headed to the bar and perused to cocktail menu. I went for a Desperados styled beer (cheapest thing on the menu!) and my friend went for a cocktail (slightly pricer!) After taking a seat it wasn't long before we were shown to the bowling alley and changed into our fetching shoes! Considering it was around 9pm it was pretty quiet however it busied up as we came to end of the end of our two games (8.75 a pop). There wasn't any need to wander around to find the lighter bowling balls or back to the bar as it was all waitress service! Even though the games were reasonably priced our bill all added up to £65! Beware the cocktails are so overpriced here although they are pretty tasty... read more

When my friend wanted to go to All Stars for drinks, I was sceptical. No one goes to a bowling alley for food and drink. Massive surprise to see so much whiskey on display, and the whiskey cocktails were ace. Great to see a bar serve big blocks of clarified ice for a touch of class (no ice cubes in sight). My bartender friend was impressed too, so that's a stamp of approval. Simple but good! Will edit this review when I've tried the bowling and food... read more

Star Lanes goooood... Star lanes prices baaaaaad. Friend suggested going bowling, I'd not been bowling for years and thought why not. So just the pair of us went. I like the layout of the place, it's nice, comfortable. I like that the drinks get brought to your lane. All I can say is don't come along to this place as a pair, the games don't last very long and this is where the prices are baaaad. £10... Per person, per game. My mate said £10 a game, in my head I thought that must be for the lane. 3 games later which took us about an hour n half between two of us we'd spent £86, of which £60 was on the games.... urgh, price of the games between two of us left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth but meh you live n learn. Dogbowls not much cheaper though at £8 a game, Chain bowling places closer to 7.25 but they do offer better rates if you play multiple games. I want to go to All Star more, but not if a few games cost me the same as going out of a meal at Gauchos read more

Went here tonight for my birthday with my partner. The girls on the bowling reception where great, and very welcoming. I even got a hand written birthday card and free cocktail from the restaurant! After a competitive (but great fun) game of bowling, we sat down to eat. The waiter was very accommodating and very efficient. The food was amazing, we definitely had eyes bigger than our bellies though, so couldn't manage a dessert! But I will definitely go back to try the waffles!! Finished the evening sitting outside people watching. The restaurant even provide blankets for when it gets a bit nippy! All in all, a great experience and will be returning for sure! read more

You can't knock the decor and the feeling of exclusivity of Bowling at All Star Lanes.. or maybe I've just been to some really tacky ten pin alleys, where the balls are chipped and always roll to the right, the floor is sticky and you're surrounded by screaming kids and spilt drinks..? With just 8 lanes and a further 2 in the Private Lounge, you do need to book to ensure you get a lane, it's not advisable to just turn up, especially at weekends or on their Monday night offer (2 games for £10) The 50's style diner theme works, and the staff are very friendly and attentive- they take your drink orders whilst you bowl! There's a huge great bar when you walk in before the restaurant and the bowling lanes. You can get a cocktail in an actual bowling ball to share!! Amazeballs. After bowling on the 2 games for a tennr offer, we decided to have some food in the restuarant. It is a little pricey, especially what you're actually getting is essentially burger and fries for 14 quid. Obviously, it was delicious and quality ingredients, served in their own unique way. You wont be disappointed with the food at all, but it's a little out of my price range for an after bowling snack. Me and my work friends have decided we'll be coming back for a once-a-month bowling club, it definitely hit the spot and is like bowling for grown ups only! read more

A fun place for a night out with decent food but totally unreasonable prices. Beware of the £15 burger and bowling deal - consider that it includes a very limited range of burgers, which don't come with sides, and that drinks are pricey (e.g. £5.75 for a pint of Blue Moon). I had the Monterey Jack cheeseburger which was good but did inspire feelings of 'why am I eating a just-good burger when I am a stone's throw away from Almost Famous?', especially when a similar meal at AF would have been much cheaper. My spiced rum mocha shake was excellent. Bowling was good fun - as it turns out, I'm pretty good at it, which is surprising considering how bad I am at most things. I liked the small setup and it was enjoyably quiet on a Sunday night. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially considering that we had booked for bowling and then food and wanted to change our booking. This went smoothly. Food service was pretty quick and friendly. Overall I had a nice time and I'm glad I checked out All Star Lanes, but after paying we all admitted to feeling a bit ripped off. Not sure I would go back any time soon as I feel like my money can go a lot further elsewhere. read more

just popped in here for a cocktail - you know how it is darling, and they had really nice ones. They've gone for specialties rather than the bog standard menu. Bonus points for naming a drink after the only man who looks better with a mustache, yes they have a drink called a Tom Selleck sour! read more

Friends were across in Manchester this weekend and when I suggested going bowling early afternoon on Friday, they actually laughed at me. Safe to say, I was the one laughing after walking into the place. Greeted with a great bar offering cocktails to the lovely Blue Moon on draught. As it was around 2:30pm on a Friday it was quiet, so service was quick. We then swapped our boots for our bowing shoes, again this was nice and efficient. We wrote each of our names on a card for the staff which appears on the screens before we were even putting our drinks down on the table. 1 game was £6.95, good price but expected as it wasn't a peak time. We all had a great time, laughing and joking about who was good and who wasn't. My boyfriend was not keen on the bowling idea, but after going and absolutely thrashing us all, he's asking if we can go again soon so I would definately say the visit was a success and would totally recommend the place. Bowling is certainlly not just for kids, get yourself a lane booked. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for ages and finally got to try it yesterday for my husband's birthday. We were impressed straight away by the warm welcome and free birthday cocktail. We ate and bowled here and it all went very smoothly. The food was great we had burgers and hotdogs which were tasty and filling. The bowling was also good fun and there was a much nicer atmosphere than you get at the standard bowling places such as LA Bowl. A fantastic way to spend an evening. I'll definitely be back. read more

Ok. This place is not like going to Mega Bowl. If you're imagining 100 lanes, laser quest and a Whimpy then you're going to be pleased/disappointed (according to your insanity levels). I've been to the London ASL a few times and have always enjoyed myself. I was pleased when they moved to our beloved city as there is a genuine lack of 'activity nights' in the city centre. Just hanging around in there is like being at a 10 year olds birthday party but for adults. Gleefully running around bowling, sipping cocktails and munching on dirty burgers. There is a conveyer belt feeling to fun...bar.bowling.bar.food.bar but this is no bad thing. The burgers are good but not great... Your typical brioche style that's become so popular (yet these guys have always done this!). The beer wasn't great, only Coors on draught (Damme disappointing.. Sorry) but really who cares.... You're here to rediscover another sport you're awful at. I had a good time at this bizarre adult fairground. read more

All Star Lanes - Burger fifth. This is the chicken burger. Ok but not as good as the similar one available at MEAT Mission in London. - Bowling Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Went here last night with Shrimoyee C and Nikhil M (Thanks for coming guys) and I have to say I was impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. The bar was a good size, and once we got to the check-in area, we were swiftly into the bowling area and had a great time ( I won both games! Woohoo) As I booked the event, I received a call from All Star Lanes on the morning to confirm the lane I had booked - that is what I call professionlism- very good :) We did not dine in the restaurant, but am sure to try it at some point. All in all, I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a fun packed evening that includes service with a smile and a good attitude from the staff. Top Marks! read more

ok the place nice, big bar and kind of a 70's theme like of tables and chairs, not bad. At first i was excited thinking yes finally a bowling place near me, i went in and they said i have to book an appointment to get on the bowling lanes. luckily that time the woman let me go on as it was just me bowling and no-one else playing along with me but next time i would have to book. i wasnt impressed because in ashton or parrswood you never had to book, so i did that for me and my sister awhile ago, got through booking a time to go on a lame, gave my name, my number and then they asked for my credit/debit card details because as they quoted "there a £5 fee if you cancel. i would rather not give my credit card details out....but apparently no credit card, no game according to them. all i wanted is to have a game of bowling, is that too much to ask? other places had no problem with that...well then, to a place that would of had my regular bowling services despite me not really liking the prices or promotions i would of looked passed and still gone to play. but id rather make the long trip to parrswood or hollywood bowl in ashton than do what this place is asking. read more

Came here for a meal after a trip to the cinema. Honestly wish I hadn't bothered. I ordered the chicken, and it was awful. I sent it back as I was adamant it wasn't chicken.
