The staff were very nice and friendly and helpful, but the food I bought for my grandson was awful and a pathetic portion.

Extremely disappointing experience
Extremely disappointing experience – terrible organisation and customer service
Our group of 8 arrived expecting a fun evening, but the experience was chaotic from the moment we arrived.
We were initially given two lanes separated by a wall, despite being one group. We had to ask staff to move us so that we could actually enjoy the evening together. The area was also dirty, with leftover drinks, rubbish and mess from previous customers still there.
The service was equally poor. Nobody seemed to know what was included in our drinks offer or how much the drinks cost. We were sent back and forth between different sides of the bar because nobody could give us a straight answer.
Our food was not brought out when expected either. We had to repeatedly chase staff and remind them to actually serve it.
The shift manager was particularly disappointing. Her attitude was extremely cold and unwelcoming, and she gave the impression that dealing with customers was an inconvenience to her.
Overall, the whole experience was disorganised, poorly managed and frustrating. There was a complete lack of communication between staff, and nobody appeared to take responsibility for resolving problems.
For a venue that is supposed to provide entertainment and hospitality, this was nowhere near an acceptable standard. We left feeling disappointed rather than having enjoyed our evening. I would not recommend this place based on our experience.

Hi Jo, thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Tenpin Exeter. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent visit was such a disappointing experience. We sincerely apologize for the chaotic start, the issues with lane allocation, the cleanliness of your area, and the poor service you received regarding drinks and food. It's also concerning to learn about your interaction with the shift manager. We understand your frustration with the disorganization and lack of communication, and this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We appreciate you bringing these significant concerns to our attention so we can address them. If you would like to discuss this further, please could you email customer.feedback@tenpin.co.uk with the subject 'Review-Exeter' for somebody to reach out to you regarding this. Best wishes-Leila
Lovely idea of an all in one place…
Lovely idea of an all in one place however clearly understaffed or over worked, poor staff members literally running from counter to machine and back, hands full of tickets or drinks etc.
long unorganised queues for check in and bar.
Dirty alleys with the last customers drinks glasses left and sauce sachets scattered about.
Sticky floors, uncleared tables.
It was so hectic and messy it made the whole experience feel miserable. You didn’t bother to have a drink or food as your time would be up for bowling etc. Quality family time ruined by the chaos of the place. Taunton Riverside has been a much better experience.
Booking was quite easy and quick, done on the telephone.
Staff were polite and apologetic but clearly under pressure.

Lovely clean and tidy place
Lovely clean and tidy place, lots to do. Great food and drink and friendly staff. My only criticism was not enough staff to cover checking in and the bar so it took a while to get served. The staff were amazing though
