The bowling: 16 lanes built for families

You get 16 lanes of tenpin bowling, supplied by Brunswick, so groups and parties fit comfortably. For young children, bumpers can be raised; we couldn't confirm the exact kids' setup, so ask when you book. It suits mixed-age groups well, from toddlers having a roll to adults playing a proper frame. Shoe hire is standard at tenpin alleys but isn't separately confirmed here, so ask when you book.
