Never sure what's Decent price to pay to get in. £5 for Niamh £3.70 for Isla but had good few hours for price. £3.60 each for meals but value for money nuggets spaghetti hoops and chunky chips (Isla) and Nuggets Mash and Sweetcorn for Niamh. Great portion size. Atmosphere loud but its popular and goes down well for us Parents who looking for things for to do in Summer Hols were excellent helpful and theres lots to occupy themselves under one roof. Worth the Visit even though we don't live nearby only cost £14.00 family saver on bus from Bowburn Arriva and we were able get all Arriva Services. We had our son's 5th here and it was great. The area is varied and feels clean and safe. The food was good and the part room a decent size (perhaps add some music so it's not so quiet)? Overall a great value location. Intially entry was poor single filed with other parents waiting in the rain, seems there would be a better way than this especially when booked in advance. Costing over £25 for 3 just for entry not exactly good value either. Place as safe and really good selection of things for 1 - 11 year olds. Decor looks like hasn’t been updated since it was intially opened. Staff were friendly. Food was really nice however having to wait over 1 hr 10 mins since order, were almost past it. Lovely family run venue which never feels too busy or too noisy. The cakes are homemade and delicious, with the friendly and polite. My boys love it here, goodness knows what they will do when too old. Ugh it's not for me. We attended a and parents are ushered into netted ”VIP" parent cage area, with no lights on in it except some fairy lights on the outside. It's clearly an area multi purposed for Christmas etc, which is fine, but it's a bit of a half job of it. Young with clipboards are like the table police, making sure you're in the dark corner. The soft itself always seems really dark Queues for food are always horrendous. We waited an hour for a panini, by which time the was nearly over so we asked for a refund which was refused on the grounds it would be done next. Ended up having to hoover it back before we left. The food room is so cramped you can barely squeeze everyone in. It really needs extending as there aren't many young sitting to eat, especially hot food, who won't need some kind of adult help and it's really difficult to fit any amount of adults in there. Panini was alright when it eventually turned up. Won't be visiting this place again! The manager has a very aggressive, ignorant attitude. Really regret going in but was meeting up with daughter & grandson who were already in paid and waiting. An appalling experience today. Got in at 10:45 paid £15 for my 2 children, mislead that the sessions run for 2hours. On paying the only point explained was that if meals were required to order before 11am so we did this. 3 meals with drinks £24. Meals arrived just got 20 minutes in before food arrived then 20 minutes after they ate. We were told we had to see off the extra drinks we'd purchased as they were closing at 12! I was shocked, the said the session was 10till12 then there's a 2till4pm session ( this was not explained when i paid, otherwise I'd of not purchased food or even arranged to meet family there) not once was it mentioned nor is it stated on the Web page. I explained the timings are very limiting and it doesn't state this. The manager continues to aggressively state there are signs up about the times and sessions all over and in entrance hall and she said I was told this when i came in. Oh and the (who were barely capable of standing) have to have a break! Really badly done to aren't they...open at 10am barely functional by 11am when serving us, no smiles, it's a children's centre! Absolutely misleading and downright cheek to charge £7.50 for less than an hours play. "The sessions" state a 2hour run. The place states it's open 10 till 5pm , photos of signs and Web details prove all the wrong. But what topped it was the aggressive manner of the manager who needs to redo this so called timing signs before she blurts out her lies in front of young who obviously have an issue with her confrontational unprofessional approach. My were appalled and upset by her. Had my granddaughters first here today and had hired it for just the 3.30-5.30 and we arrived early to take cake, ballon and bags in , walked in to 4 sat at a table and I said I was here for the to be replied with ‘ doesn’t start til half past - I was allowed quickly to put the cake and balloon in and then leave , as where arriving still we weren’t allowed in til 3.25pm. It was posted on social media it was closed from 2.30pm today so wasn’t Asif we were waiting for to leave. Food was served at 5 and you can imagine 30 aged between 10 months to 8 years all eat at different paces, at 5.15 we asked for a knife to do the cake for the member of to Comment ‘ you only have 15 mins left ‘ and ‘ oh you have ice cream too’ also made us aware she had been at work since 7am and wanted to be out on time’ - some of the went back in the area and didn’t eat food and they were told to get out and as much as I appreciate the session had finished there are ways to politely remind parents but we found the member of so and make comments to the parents ‘it’s in the paper work’ I wouldnt recommend booking a especially when you pay extra to hire it privately and you are greeted with and who seemed to just want us out and making it seem a hassle. Staff made a comment as were standing up to leave ‘ yeah can we get going’ Why book a in til 5.30pm if didn’t want to be in til then - won’t be back. Booked for my sons 5th birthday. It was fantastic value for money. Totally took the stress away from me. The hot food was brilliant with a great selection. You only pay for the that turn up on the day too which is a bonus. So much for the to do, with a large soft play, baby area, toddler soft play, bouncy castle and a mini disco. Would highly recommend. Some kid tried touching my feet while I was climbing up the slide #ruleee breaker I had my son's and it is absolutely amazing. Well organized and the were very helpful.Thank you you made his day. Absolutely diabolical customer service. Book parties and take deposits saying they allow mascots then decide 2 weeks before they only do it for exclusive bookings. The manager was awful to speak to just saying her wouldn’t have said that. Would not recommend for young children’s parties seems very regimented and zero customer service skills for dealing with problems. Great for the but a bit off that adults have to pay. I'm basically paying to sit down Had my daughters 5th here yesterday to be greeted by saying your too early read your paperwork it says arrive 5 mins before, I arrived 15mins before, I said I want to bring all the balloons, cake and bags in before arrive I wasn’t allowed and they said we need a break yet! So we were made to stand in the entrance holding all the items until they were ready to let us in, so in the end were arriving while I am trying to set up! then bombarding me with questions as everyone is arriving, then asking one of the mums is your baby on the list, I booked the full place out I didn’t have a list if they know my daughter then they are invited! they even charged one of the mums unbeknown to me for bringing her sister! I had 10 spare spaces and they knew that disgusting behaviour, food was rushed the had not even finished eating the hot food and ice cream was being thrown at them, the spare food should have been put in the middle of the table for and parents to share but it was left to one side and forgotten about, then they are clearing up when aren’t finished! the whole thing was rushed and not enjoyable I won’t be going there again even for a date, the act like they are doing you a favour and rude. DO NOT BOOK A HERE! I’ve been raging since yesterday however waited till today to do this review. Yesterday my 3 year old palliatively ill child had her third birthday, her last before a major surgery which we wanted to make special, I had a bad feeling about from the get go the phone calls were so they seemed to have an issue with the simplest of things. Fast forward to the actual and I’m livid even saying it, mind you it was a 3 year olds bday they reserved tables at the front of the centre nowhere near the three year olds part so were questioned this and were met with well that’s the tables we reserved so that’s what you have. I have a severely disabled step daughter who’s 12 she can’t walk nor sit up and is very brain damaged. The only option for her to sit anywhere was the sofa with lots of free surrounding tables no reserved signs nothing, mind you we had asked a girl who worked there of that’s okay to seat her at the other end and she said okay as they did refuse to move the reserved tables to the other end where the would actually be playing baring in mind the place was empty at this point. so we sat her there and we’re approached by a dark haired lady member off face like she hates the world saying move that’s for someone else literally that abrupt even though a disabled child was on the sofa , we explained the severity of her disability and asked if we could possibly keep her on a sofa as she can’t possibly sit on a chair with the severity of her disability to be argued with by this woman and she got in my mothers face and actually argued with her over moving my disabled step daughter saying it’s not there Issue even saying to move her stuff now so someone else can sit there, my step daughter then had to be took back to the car carried as there was no possible place for her to be seated, mind you they travelled from Scotland to be there , and then came back in as a lovely man offered to give a sofa chair up and move whilst the just sneered and gave looks. A disabled child being told to move cos someone else needs that seat and we can’t be there and it’s not there issue arguing so rudely and getting in our faces I’m disgusted to my core . Awful awful humans apart from the older blonde lady who was so nice about it. Disgusted to my core over them especially the dark haired lady who works there. Even prior she seemed to have an issue with anything over phone so please save yourself the hassle and don’t book them. Discrimination to its finest and I will never step foot in there pathetic place again I suggest anyone to not book a party there awful set up we waited 25 mins for food after they said go in the room for food. Awful all around and my little girls last bday before surgery.
