All Star Lanes (Bayswater)

A great place for a night out - retro American diner that does what it says on the tin. We had booked a bowling lane for 5pm with dinner at 6pm but when we arrived the place was packed with 30 screaming 8 year olds which id pretty much my idea of hell. The sympathetic staff rebooked us for 7pm with dinner at 8pm so after a few rounds in the pub we were ready for it. Friendly efficient staff, drinks and snack service at your lane and good quality all American menu made this a lot of fun. Nothing to fault. Portion sizes are good, our group had ribs, jerk chicken, salad, macaroni and ice cream sundaes all of which were excellent. Live pianist, good music earlier on in the evening and a great atmosphere. Recommended.

Had a great night here for my birthday last weekend! Dinner followed by bowling and cocktails (the milkshakes we had for dessert were also pretty special). Loved the party atmosphere and will certainly be coming back soon!!

Disgraceful establishment. Hired a private room for friend's joint birthday, we placed £750 on the just food expenses, £750 on drinks expenses and had 60 people turn up. What we got were about 13 plates of canapes and a lot of hungry disgruntled people. Apparently those 13 plates equates to 3/4 of a grand. An additional £500 service charge was added on top of the extortionate markup on food prices, despite the fact there was little to no service apart from the 1 entertaining barman, plus we could hardly hear our own music playlist due to the low volume sound system that unfortunately they can't turn up. Avoid this place at all costs. We ended up out of pocket and hungry at the end of the evening with a rather foul distaste of being only "slightly" ripped off for the £2 per canapé. Seriously, an average food serving to satisfy an average customer would be around £10-15 according to the menu, that's not accounting for drinks as we setup an expense account separately, so how does 5-7 canapes make a meal? Marking up for premium service is not uncommon, but this is robbery, it's a shame I'm not familiar with a consumer ombudsman for advice on dealing with this establishment.

The staff is friendly and the drinks are fancy, the bowling is fun too. Still the food is mediocre and overpriced.
