The Venue: Opinions
Negative experience: Google map said its a bowling venue but when i got there it turns out yo be kids football area and not bowling. I don't live locally, I was there for a day and was relying on Google so I can take kids out to activities but it turns out the venue doesn't have bowling there so I then had yo find another place.
Fantastic experience: Attending here for the Wales National football finals. Plenty of parking, peace was immaculate and well looked after. Great venue to watch football
Fantastic experience: Great venue
Negative experience: With building work on the main standing the ground was restricted to the stand behind the goal. View wasn't great to be honest but the new stand will improve the spectator view
Fantastic experience: Fínn fótboltavöllur
Negative experience: Went to watch a pre season friendly....least welcoming ground you will visit. No drinks...not even a machine... couldn't get near the pitch but nowhere to sit either.
Negative experience: Visited yesterday for soft play and lunch. Staff great but the toilets were so disgusting none of us wanted to risk ordering food, so just left. Totally off-putting especially when accompanied by young children.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff great venue shame they ran out of non alcoholic drinks quickly
Negative experience: Ordered food for delivery from here but was completely inedible, tried to complain through their delivery service but couldn't get anywhere
Fantastic experience: Friendly football ground. Stewards very patient with visiting fans that were sometimes not well behaved. Hospitality excellent great value for money
Fantastic experience: Great sport centre
Positive experience: Football club with good amenities
Positive experience: Friendly people, excellent football facilities, just lacking some hot football morning food
Positive experience: Unusual ground but well worth a visit
Fantastic experience: Супер
Fantastic experience: We do mini saints here at 9am on a sat. The guys are great and our daughter eleri absolutely loves it. Normally get dragged into the soft play after too.
Fantastic experience: Get there early morning to experience peacefulness and the beauty
Fantastic experience: Superb place for football. Watched my grandson win the cup final for Caerphilly Schools.
Fantastic experience: Well, never been to a football ground that has a bowling alley and children's play zone inside. Plenty of room inside, food and drinks available but no real ale. Artifical pitch. Friendly staff on site
Fantastic experience: Great football club set up with excellent onsite amenities. Cafe, food and bar all accessible
Fantastic experience: Great place for clean soft play. Nice cakes and coffee too.
Negative experience: They let you book online. Let you turn up. Let you get the kids excited then tell you that it's a private function and not open to you. With no apology. Fantastic.
Fantastic experience: what a lovely place, 10/10 customer service the sweetest blonde girl at the till served me all day and was a lovely staff member
Fantastic experience: Coffee was good , cool night watching the footy
Fantastic experience: Nice place
Positive experience: Not at all inviting. Appears chaotic but very friendly people. Maybe needs to ho upmarket a little.
Fantastic experience: Great HQ for our Park Hall 5k race. Thanks to the staff and owners for supporting Oswestry Olympians.
Negative experience: Boss i believe his name richard was very rude to a customer outside and it only seemed like one girl with pink hair was actually serving people very polite and kind
Fantastic experience: A good place for children to meet, play and make new friends. The football coaches there are really good with children.
Negative experience: I parked up in the car park today and was going to visit somebody. The place was deserted in the Venue Car Park and I only wanted to be there for a bit. This very rude man called Christopher and his wife were horrible and said you cannot park there. It has upset me and there was no reason to be like that the place was empty. I don't know who has employed him he not very friendly he also said the Police would come out to me if I stayed there. What a lovely man
Positive experience: Not allowed to use the seating due to covid restrictions, this made all parents congregate on the opposite side to watch the match, if both sides open there would have been more social distancing. Otherwise not a bad place
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: Great place to watch football
Positive experience: Its ok
Fantastic experience: Lots to do with the kids. Bowling alley was really nice.
Negative experience: My family usually really enjoy bowling at the venue, unfortunately on Saturday we left abit upset. After looking on here for ur opening times my family and i decided to come for 3 games at 7.30 on Saturday. I was served by a lad on the bar who at no point informed me that u closed soon or anything! I asked about food it surprised me u dont serve food on a Saturday evening. There were 3-4 other families on the lanes when we started playing who finished and disappeared one by one. By 8pm most of the lights had been turned off, chairs had been stacked on tables and a lady was wiping the seats around us. By 8.20 we noticed the staff were staring/checking how may goes were left, which made us feel slightly uncomfortable, so we started to rush!! At 8.45 we finished we didnt finish our drinks and headed for the door. The staff seemed to be waiting for us to leave at the desk and the main door had been locked. We were asked to leave through a different door. I looked all round the main door for amended opening times which I couldn't find. If u do close at 8pm I think u need to correct ur opening times on here and on ur website, also I think ur staff should inform people walking in at 7.30 that u wouldnt have time to enjoy 3 games by the time u close. Or if u do close at 10pm u need to inform ur staff!

Negative experience: We rang up yesterday for bowling come down to day they were closed
Positive experience: Decent setup.
Fantastic experience: Go TNS.

Fantastic experience: So much to do and see brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Great place but food not very good unfortunatelly
Positive experience: Very good stadium.
Fantastic experience: Great place to visit, food nice, staff friendly and helpful.Ten pin bowling and Lazer quest ( has to be booked) well worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: Много разтоварващо място
Negative experience: Went to go play bowling, lanes broken multiple times and food took a while to be ready
Positive experience: Great venue for meetings and sports. Uawd the main room for a caravan club question time. Great
Positive experience: Love this place, super Saturday, 2 games, burger in a basket and a drink. Had a great time. Had to wait ages for a drink as staff disappeared for about 30 mins.
Fantastic experience: Awsome place
Negative experience: Club owes my company over £3000 for work we completed months 4 months ago and dodge phone calls and make false promises for payment, not worth supporting a local place that treats other businesses this way.
Fantastic experience: Reasonably sized soft play, probably not suitable for children above the age of 8. During the week it's £2 entry which is a fab price however it doubles at the weekend and during the holidays, for the competition in the area and price of food in comparison with the other place, I do find it all overpriced. It is very clean and the staff are friendly.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoy going to the Venue for bowling with my family. The cost is just right and it's normally quick to get a game - I've never known it to be too busy. There's also a soft play for younger children which again is decent and we'll priced. Staff have always been friendly and nice.
Fantastic experience: Love it...
Positive experience: Bowling great fun
Fantastic experience: Good local facility with a focus on football but not only. Cafe, gym, bowling, kid soft play and fitness classes.
Positive experience: Kids booked laser quest shooting thing. There were some technical issues which spoiled it for them - guns not working properly. To be fair, the guy did his best to sort it out, and when he couldn't, offered us a repeat booking, which went splendidly, and the ten kids really enjoyed. Sorted them into two teams, gave them objectives and while it sounded really complicated to me, the kids easily figured it out and really seemed to work as teams. And really enjoyed it.
Positive experience: Venue is nice place for kids and adults
Positive experience: Good, local place for a cup of tea, a meal and even a game of tenpin bowling. There's a lot more happens here as it's a real local hub for sports activities and clubs. Down 1 star because the service can be a bit hit & miss with the younger staff.
Negative experience: Absolute rubbish, Staff are really good at avoiding people stood at the bar in the bowling area. (Even the manager) Not a place that i would rush back too
Negative experience: Kitchen can't cope with orders. I specifically checked what time last orders were, yet they still stopped taking them 45 mins before, with no announcement. My friend, who is diabetic, wasn't able to order because they had too many orders! Ridiculous. I was informed that there was a 45 mins wait for my son's chicken nuggets and chips, that was fine...an hour later, still not arrived. However the lady who ordered just in front of me, with a large order, had had her family's food and it had been eaten, but still no sign of ours. I understand they were busy and different items take different lengths of time to cook, but really??
Fantastic experience: Anyone with accessibility needs are best contacting the club ahead of your visit. Car park gets busy and spaces are at a premium.
Positive experience: Went for a game of bowls. Great place happened to stumble across it when kids wanted something to do in school holidays. Will definitely be back again.
Positive experience: Visit regularly great for bowling and soft play area good for the little ones.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, took the kids for laser tag and a meal, everyone had great fun and the food was brilliant
Positive experience: Modern leisure centre with lots going on
Negative experience: Drinks are always expensive and not enough staff on
Fantastic experience: Nice set up
Fantastic experience: What can I say first off our booking wasn't on the sistom but rectified with a free game. Had to wait over a hour but got a free round of drinks.. Great place and the staff did go out there way to make things better. We'll done to the hole team there. Will be going back
Positive experience: This is a real good around place to visit with the family and friends. The parking is free and you have lots of different things to do. The football pitch is an excellent all weather surface with excellent speculation areas. The ground is setup for any size match and even has facilities for TV coverage. The clubhouse has a cafe serving hot food and snack, along side a soft on play area. Also you they have a fully licenced bar for anyone over 18. Onsite is also several 10 pin bolling alleys and games area. Under the main stand you also have a super jim area with every machine you can think of. Last time I visited I found the laser quest area. This was a fantastic area with lots of different games to play. The guys are really good fun and I would recommend this to entertain all the family at a very cheap price.
Positive experience: Food isn't too expensive if you get the deal with 2 games of bowling.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and friendly staff.Great place to visit before the game
Fantastic experience: Had a kids bowling birthday party here. The venue caters well for kids and adults alike.
Positive experience: Lovely set-up.. that is home to TNSFC (The New Saints Football Club) that's part of the Welsh football league. Along with the football facilities they also have a entertainment facility, ball pit for children up to a certain age / height.. you can also buy food and drink here too.
