Nice cheap thing to do with the kids in the Summer holidays. You get the shoe hire included in the price too so you don't get stung for extra when you turn up. Valid all throughout the summer holidays until 3rd September and you just need to book 48 hours in advance so ideal if we get a few horrid rainy days as we are bound to with it being British Summertime!
2 games for 4 people with shoe hire - £11.99 2 games for 6 people with shoes hire - £15.99

yh, used mine yesterday in LA Bowl in Warrington. last time I went there was probably 8 years ago and it looks like time stood still in that place...if it wasn't for the people in there, you would think it's been abandoned with the state of it...not recommend it at all.

Groupon came back and all good, I think it was a template from a previous deal. Reply: Thanks for your patience. Please be advised that our resolution team have been in touch with the merchant and they have confirmed that the deal is valid during school holidays, the only exclusion as per Fine Print - Bank holidays. The booking page will be amended soon.
If there's anything else I can help you with, please don't hesitate to let me know. Kind regards, Shobana

Heard back but no clarification: Reply Thanks for getting in touch. As stated in the fine print section "booking required by 25 Aug 2017. Must book at least 48 hours in advance." Please make the booking via mfabowl.com/gro…on/ . Bookings are subject to the availability. If there's anything else I can help you with, please don't hesitate to let me know. Kind regards, Vinayaga Sundari I My reply Hi Vinayaga,
Could you please read my query again as I don't think you understand what I am asking, "is it available during school holidays or not”. The fine print says nothing about it not being available but the link YOU provided says it is not, how am I supposed to use it? Our School holidays have started in the UK until September after the promotion ends. Some clarification is needed please! The deal is advertised with the Fine Print saying nothing about not using it during The School Holidays but the booking link says you can’t. I have still no idea if you can or not from your response. I feel it is false advertising if I cannot and I will be in contact with Trading standards if not. I have screen shot the “Fine print” for proof of purchase. I await “Groupons” reply.
No reply 48 hours later so I did webchat and basically the guy I spoke with could see the problem and said if you can book it via the link it will work. I hope is right but they are looking into it further apparently.
I would appreciate if anyone has actually been if there was any problem, guessing there won't be .

Going to email them about this as it doesn't mention in the fine print only when you go to the booking site, very naughty I think. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though, already bought 2.

Own shoes? That and the loud music and disco lights are what's ruined bowling in this country! :P

They do a midweek family bowl at mine. An hour for £10. Usually long enough for my lot before hands start aching. Don't need to change shoes either as long as what you're wearing is flat & closed toe. Own trainers are fine. Just book the day before online.
