In fact it has been chosen as the venue for the upcoming county competition in January. Sunday nights especially are great to attend, 4 games for £10 makes it excellent value. The other attraction is laserquest; built over two levels this remains my favourite places to run around and pretend to shoot people! On a Tuesday you can play for just £3 a game.

They have a bunch of Namco games such as a pacman air hockey game, motorbike and car racing, basketball and a silly chicken game where you catch eggs. A good selection. We also got some appetizers and icecream sundaes that were yummy. Played a game of bowling. I thought it was neat that we didn't have to change our shoes. The staff was friendly, especially Simon who helped us with almost everything we wanted to do there. We had a really fun few hrs.

Bowling is great fun for the whole family, and this is precisely what Bowlplex Dudley has in mind…read more It has various bowling balls for all ages and abilities, a kids section for parties, an arcade, American pool, Grill and bar. So you're not limited to just bowling, there's something to keep you entertained for the whole day! I've never come across any problems of hygiene or untidiness at this Bowlplex, which can be an issue when you're wearing shoes worn by countless other strangers! The Grill serves fast-food but if you're not keen on burgers and chips then there are a few restaurants within the complex. Across the road there is Showcase Cinemas, Nandos, Pizza Hut, Chiquitos and Frankie and Benny's. There is free parking, which can get busy during holidays or weekends. If you drive behind the cinema there is more parking available, which isn't well signposted.

Big bowling ally, over priced food and a basic arcade (no street fighter). The balls are pretty cool, loads of different styles and all different sizes. Standard affair. There are a load of different lanes and i've never had to wait long to get onto a lane. Staff don't give a damn which is cool, if i had to give out clown shoes all days to screaming kids i wouldn't give a damn either. High quality bowling, not bad.

Well, being a fan of bowling I thought it was about time to visit Tenpin Bowling in Festival Park,…read moreStoke-on-Trent. I've been living in Stoke for 2 and a half years now for academic purposes, but I've never been here. I went with two friends the other day and it cost £6.99 each, for Unlimited Bowling between 12pm and 6pm. In that time I think we must've had about 20 games+, definitely worth the money. The only downside was the quality of the balls. The balls were absolutely horrendous, and what can only be described as the cratering you see on the moon. On the upside, and the reason why I am giving this place 4 stars is because of the staff. They were absolutely magnificent. I've never had customer service like it. They were so outrageously helpful, so enthusiastic and kind. Obviously, we were customers but they made sure everything was fine. Also, we had food whilst we were there and for a bowling alley, it wasn't too bad! This place would definitely have had 5 stars if it wasn't for the quality of the balls.

As hobbies and pleasurable experiences besides sitting in a pub drinking go, bowling is one of the…read moremost expensive in the UK. Or perhaps it's just expensive at Strykers. Either way, it's a bit of cash for something that only a few people in a group end up being good at. At Strykers, on evenings and weekends, it's £25 per HOUR to bowl. If you have more than three people, that means you get one game and perhaps a few frames. For two people, it means 2.5 games. And that's the most economical way to do it. On "off-peak" hours (before 6pm during the week), it's still £16 for an hour -- not cheap, but not terrible -- of course, only doable if you pull a sickie at work! Strykers gets 3 stars for being the only bowling alley in this part of Staffordshire, and for having very friendly, helpful staff. But that's where the points end. Strykers is one of the most dingy, dirty, frayed-at-the-ends places I've seen. Bowling alleys in small towns can be a bit dire, but in general, they tend to be a bit more gleaming than Strykers. The decor is from the 80s, and it's all a bit cheap and cheerful, which is fine -- after all, you're there to bowl, not bathe in the glowing ambience. There is a casino/adults only area with little slot machines, a bar with beer on tap, cheap wine and spirits, and a Wimpy's/fast food area. The food is actually quite cheap, which is good, but it's fast food, as as to be expected. For the more than occasional bowler, there is a membership club, one for kids and one for adults, and that significantly knocks the price down. If you are a really keen bowler, Stryker's will knock you for ten (ha!), but if you just want a good time with mates, you may be a bit disappointed at the cost -- if you wanted to make an evening of it, expect to split £75 between a group. Or, grab a few decks of cards, some cigars and brandy and stay in!

Strkers is a large bowling alley with a 'wimpey' restaurant, soft play area and two bars. Thet do decent group booking deals and kids parties (in the soft play facility for younger kids ans bowling parties for the older ones), they also do teen nights where they have live djs and make it more of a disco. Its worth noting that for adult occasions i.e works events and such they will quote on request for a 'bowl and bite' which includes a 'meal in a basket' along with a game of bowling. Its a clean and friendly environment for kids and adults alike. Have always been more than satisfied with the service too.

Despite Leicester being the 10th biggest city in the UK it strangely seems to be lacking in Tenpin…read morebowling alleys as Hollywood Bowl is one of few in the city. It is located in Meridian leisure area, which is on the outskirts of the city and easily accessible from the M1. Hollywood Bowl is part of a larger leisure complex which also houses a large cinema and a number of well known restraunts including Franky and Benny's and Burger King. Alternatively the Bowling alley has its own fast food restraunt which offers competitive prices and quality on your standard fast-food options, burgers, nachos, etc. Car parking is never a problem here even at busy times. Bowling is never the cheapest activity but Hollywood Bowl offers good value deals if you are playing multiple games or have a large party. If your work hours allow it or you are a student, coming hear at off-peak times can save you a fortune. The lanes themselves are maintained impeccably and the equipment has always functioned as it should when I have been. It can get very busy here at weekends so sometimes it is advisable to pre-book to avoid waiting. At weekends it is open until 1 am, which is great for night owls like me. There is very little I could complain about, it basically offers everything you could want in a good bowling alley.
