It's hard to get excited about a bowling alley, and if it is this one then it is just that little…read morebit harder. It's the standard bowling alley situation, there are a few pool tables, air hockey tables and various arcade games dotted about as you walk in. There is a bland but inoffensive bar area and 25 or so lanes for bowling. You can get food or drinks brought to your lane which is good but the general appearance of the bowling area is seriously lacklustre. There are a few strings of sorry looking fairly lights running horizontally above the lanes, half of them don't work and they look like some sort of afterthought. The far right wall looks like someone has taken a sledgehammer to it at some point and the overall feel is of a place which could do with a bit of freshening up. Don't get me wrong, it's not like an afternoon in Helmand Province or anything. You can turn up, knock down pins and go away happy. It's just not the classiest bowling alley I've ever seen. 2 adults, 2 games cost me £21

I really enjoyed going here, it had the bowling alley and the bar which was behind it and a cafe as…read morewell which was behind it. I found the food to be pretty average and expensive to boot. I did enjoy playing bowling here though, it can get so busy with kids and that in the summer it is a nightmare. Better to go in the evenings or during the day when the kids are at school. Always had loud music on which was always good to liven up the mood.

Bowlplex is situated in Basingstoke's large, out of town leisure park alongside the ice-rink and…read morethe swimming pool. It's a large 30 or so lane bowling facility and incredibly popular at peak times. The lanes are well maintained and cleaned with few service issues. There is a limited choice of balls and, at popular times it can be hard to find the balls you want. Ramps are provided for junior bowlers and there's the option of having gutter bumpers up for individual bowlers as required. These come on automatically. The bowling system is computerised and there are limited graphics. I find it disappointing that multiple strikes don't set off a big noise or TV display as with some lanes! Shoes are in OK condition although they're not great. There's a gaming zone (fruit machines, video games, pool and air hockey), cafe and bar facility too. The drinks at the bar are reasonably priced and the food is actually pretty good value with snacks and more substantial meals available (all bar-type food). There's a small dancefloor for weekend evenings and the TVs regularly show main sporting action or pop videos. The toilets are OK but the gents tend to smell! Worth a trip if you're in the area!

I have no real complaints about this place as the staff were very friendly and helpful but the…read moremachines didn't work properly for us, they didn't show our scores when we got a strike which can be a bit irritating when you're trying to win! which I did!
