Scott and I visited Bowlplex twice over the course of two days... I think we've become ultra-competitive as we recognise each other's strengths and - for fun - try to out-do each other! This place is pretty huge - 20+ lanes and a small selection of arcade games around about to kill time. There is a small restaurant area at the back of the unit, but we didn't have time to try out the food. We did purchase some drinks and a bottle of water - came in at under a tenner so not hugely expensive which is a bonus. First of all: I love that there's no rule at this alley that states players must wear the 'silly shoes' provided to bowl. I want to bowl in my own comfortable and hygienic clothing, not someone else's manky shoes! There's a great selection of balls here too... I love balls. I love the size 14 purple one more than the size 14 red, but that's personal taste more than anything else... Anything lighter just doesn't hit the pins right or give the arms a decent workout at the same time! Worth a visit if you've got some time to kill! :) read more
