I've been there a few times with some of the best people. Incredible party nights and a very intimate venue for live bands.

Great venue, plenty of drinks. Didn't eat but the pizzas looked great and I overheard great comments. Outside area was large. Good variety of non alcoholic drinks

Good place. Some of the pizzas are hot and miss. Overall a good stay. Bowling lines definitely need some repairing or refurbishment.

Me and my friends came to Taylor Swift party and also played two rounds of bowling. The bowling hall was okay and I’ve enjoyed the game.However can’t say the same about staff, I have asked for two lemonades - no alcohol and just one white wine. The barman started to pour white wine in two glasses ignoring my lemonade requests. I was aware the music was loud so I repeated myself twice but getting annoyed by the incopetence of the barman after repeating the order three times. He then refused to serve me as he claimed I’ve got an ‘attitude’ which I believe was just gaslighting to hide the fact that he was unable to do the order properly. I’ve then gave up and said to my friend if she can order, and they refused to serve her too as she was with me. The security took me out and told me that the music was too loud and I was rude, I’ve explained that I’ve just repeated the order multiple times, politely apologised and left.I suggest that only people who are fit and competent for the role of barman should be hired and the staff this night was not the case. Terrible experience but at least the bowling game was good, however would suggest other place as the staff at Lanes is just miserable.

Thanks to the people at The Lanes for making bowling fun. It's nice to have an older bowling venue with more character than the chains, and the set up is really nice. They kept drinks flowing through the afternoon and made sure we had a really good time, so can’t fault the service. Thanks

Awesome venue for bowling, fit with great music and vibes and lovely staff with a great selection of food and drinks. Free pool is always great and the sunday fighting game tournaments are truly a great time. Always have a blast when i come here :)

Came here for some food and bowling, the drinks are not your mainstream ones but not a bid thing. Food wasn’t that great just your basic pizza’s mainly, just wasn’t great quality. Price was okay to allow though. Bowling went okay, again lower end but not an issue. Nice they have live bands in the evening too, certainly gives the night a nice twist!

I recently visited The Lanes and was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere created by the lively music. The energy in the air added to the overall enjoyment of the bowling experience. However, I must mention that the pizza left much to be desired – it was disappointingly dry. Additionally, the tables were noticeably dirty, which slightly detracted from the otherwise enjoyable environment. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement in certain aspects.

Terrible service from bar staff tonight.I ordered a small margarita pizza from the bar. The wait time was initially 20 minutes which became half an hour. We were sat by the pool tables.I was given a half eaten pizza by one of the bar staff which had already been eaten by the other group upstairs.Admittedly I decided to eat the other half of the pizza. I then asked for a refund for the entire pizza following failure to deliver a full portion of pizza to the right person. Initially the woman issued the refund but I was told by another member of staff to in future return the other half to the bar instead of eating it. We both agreed on this and she issued the refund.Shortly after, the woman in blond walked over to us in the bar garden and told us that we all had to leave because I “lied about eating the first half of the pizza” which I explained wasn’t the case as I was downstairs at the bar asking where this pizza was. Unfortunately my only option was to pay for this half a pizza at full price otherwise they would ban me from the venue entirely.In future deliver your orders to the correct people to prevent this happening in the future. If only 0 stars was an option.P.S I would advise an appropriate response from the manager of the venue and would happily get in touch with them regarding this matter.Many thanks
