Soul Bowl — Attraction in Lancaster

What a disaster. I don't even know where to start. Booked for food then bowling afterwards for my sons birthday. I was reluctant to leave a review but even after talking with the manager they still managed to get it wrong. Arrived, seated.. no one came, had to go and ask someone to take our order. Up and down constantly to find out about the food and rearrange the bowling time, 55 minutes later the food came out, side order item missing, served by a very rude waitress with her hair down and not tied up as should be, not impressed, no apology for the wait, no 'enjoy your meals' just slapped down and walked away. Had to ask twice for more drinks, we were now over our pre booked bowling time, they said they were happy to push it back 30 mins. Still not enough time to eat and serve the birthday cake that my friend had delivered to the restaurant earlier that day only to be told by a member of staff our booking didn't exist. Got that sorted. No check backs, no plates cleared, pizzas were good, but not good enough to wait an hour. 3 waitresses stood at the pass chatting, 1 waitress (with a bandaged knee) constantly rolling her eyes and huffing at everything whilst playing with her hair at the pass and the bar, very unhygienic, was told later that she wasn't regular staff but from a place nearby. Had to ask for the cake to be delivered twice, by this point I was really fed up with everything. Spoke with the manager who explained that there wasn't enough kitchen staff due to the new regulations, fine but maybe they shouldn't accept so many bookings if this is the case then? Was then passed over to a more senior member of management who was a lovely lady, offered to take the drinks off the bill and said we could have the bowling lane as long as we wanted. Great yeh... no. After having to message the family members of my sons friends to come and collect the children later than planned, they played 1 game and it ended before they even finished the game, had to then chase up staff to get the game going again, attempted to play another and was told our time was up, the information obviously hadn't been passed on about us having the lane for longer, we'd been there for over 3 hours now and to be honest had just had enough of the faffing so decided to leave. Only 2 hours allowed at the tables for dining, wouldn't be a problem if the service had been faster, or even just a friendlier approach from the staff. Definitely won't be returning in a hurry which is a shame as the place and food is fab, just need a major rethink on the staff perhaps. One other thing, Josh was great! Nothing was too much trouble, just a shame he wasn't our waiter for the evening, things could have been...

We booked online and picked a window seat, we arrived on time and there wasn’t a window seat available he had given our table to 4 ladies who had walked in and hadn’t booked. There was 8 people waiting for food in front of us and we waited over 50 minutes for food. The food was cold and bang average the onion rings are straight out of the freezer and mushy inside, my pasta was swimming in some sort of oil and my partners burger had a strange texture to it. The service was shocking as well, all the staff seemed to be stood around talking and never came over to check if everything was okay with the food, we had to catch a waitress when she walked past and asked if we could order some more drinks, she said yes and took our order but we never received the drinks. We had to ask another waitress who’s eventually went to get us some drinks. The women’s toilets 5 out of the 6 toilets had out of order posters on them and locks missing on the doors, one of the toilet seats had poo on it. The restaurant wasn’t busy but the bowling side was. Overall it was a terrible experience save your money and eat...

Johnny’s teacher tells her class, “Class, I’m going to ask you a question at 2:55 p.m. every Friday, and whoever answers it correctly will be excused from school on Monday.” The students got really excited about this and were anxiously awaiting Friday afternoon to arrive. At precisely 2:55 pm, the teacher addressed the class. She said, “Students, this week’s question is, ‘What is the Pythagorean theorem?'” After a long pause she said, “Well, I guess I’ll see you all on Monday.” The teacher was teasing the children. She always planned to ask a question that no fifth grader could ever answer. Johnny was getting wise to the teacher’s scam. The following Friday, Johnny brought both his parents’ bowling balls to school. At 2:54 p.m., he rolled them down the aisle, and they crashed into the teacher’s desk. The teacher jumped up, came around the front of the desk, and yelled, “All right, who’s the comedian with the big balls?” Johnny says, “Eddie Murphy! See...
