We met my daughter's friend's Dad and little brother, and they asked if they could join us. The more the merrier! Now, I haven't been bowling for years. But what fun we had. Needless to say, the Dad won and little brither lost and I'm not telling you who was where in between, but is so satisfying to watch your ball rumble down the middle of the lane! This place serves food - fast food, which is fairly inexpensive. Bowling for two children and one adult was £13.05. Try working that one out! I thought it was a bit steep. The staff seem a bit bored and the shock of the noisey music makes you unable to hear them or be heard. However, at the lanes the music is less noisey and most heard is laughter and shouts of pleasure or disappointment. Mostly my shouts were pleasure or encouragement, but I beganto flag very slightly at the end as this is a real workout if you've eaten lunch! All in all, I recommend this, and I'm going back for sure.

The majority of the arcade machines go wrong when you put your money in them, the coins go missing or get stuck. Sometimes when you win eg £10.00, it might pay you 9 x £1 coins and 1 x 10p piece (so you are out of pocket) I can only imagine some of the staff who fill the machines mis-fill them. When the machines go wrong it is not easy to get help or assistance being the majority of staff spend most of the time standing outside the pier smoking. There is only 1 change desk open, if they are counting up, they close the desk and you have to go back when they have finished counting. The same desk also takes bookings for the crazy golf so you have to wait quite a while to be seen, so if the machine you are playing as gone wrong you have a long wait for assistance. When you finally see someone they say they will send someone along to fix the machine but you end up waiting ages, no apologies when they finally arrive. (Customer service skills are poor and too be honest always have been) Many of the machines reels are out of line so when you win they don't always payout and if you inform the staff they say the reels are out of synch, so you don't get your wiinnings or all the money you have put in them (not a fair system), only 1 winner them! The Monopoly machines top centre game reels are totally out of synch, so when you get the game you have no idea how much you are winning. The Double Decker party game machine very top centre game reels go wrong so the party ends early. The 2p & 10p pushers have hardly any prizes on them, and I have seen employees move items back that are close to the edge so players have to start from scratch which costs them more money (not fair at all). Many of the machines are dirty. I am not too sure if they ever clean them. Unlike some seaside arcades, the pier charges customers £1.75 to withdraw cash, even though you are spending the money in their business. I am surprised the owners let the staff get away with it, from what I see when on the pier it's the owners son doing the majority of the work. Whilst the staff are standing outside smoking they could be repairing machines or assisting customers and filling up empty change machines which are mostly empty on a daily basis. A lesson for the future, remember it's the customers who are are paying your wages, employees seem to forget that.
