This review is specifically about the food - I really wouldn't recommend having dinner here. Our food was about 20-25 minutes late (we were scheduled to eat at 9). We were a large group but there was only one waitress working, she could only bring out two burgers at a time, and there were gaps of several minutes in between bringing out some people's burgers - so a lot of us were still waiting while other people were tucking in. It got worse when my burger (the Unicorn) came, because it was cool in temperature and so had clearly been sitting for ages waiting to be collected. It was also missing half the ingredients listed on the menu. To the credit of Strike, they arranged to have the missing ingredients brought out in extra dishes, but they gave the odd excuse of "our chefs aren't used to the new menu" even though I'd seen the burger on the menu a month before and I can't imagine I was the first person to order it. I didn't send my cooled-down burger back as I was so, so hungry by that point. Finally, the chips were soggy; a few were even quite chewy/undercooked. The menu specifically says "we don't do soggy chips". If you're going to say that, then actually get the chips right.

It was a Sunday night. Experience was good but there were two areas that we didn’t like. Firstly we paid 12.5% on top for drinks that we went to the bar to order, collect and pay for. Secondly we ordered puddings and with the brownie there was ice cream included. We were asked if we wanted ice cream. We said yes. We were then charged extra for extra ice cream. In the latter situation the manager credited us. In the former situation we were advised that we didn’t have to pay it (but we aren’t given a choice either). I know leisure venues and their teams have had a torrid time of late but overcharging won’t bring us back into the venue in the future. You’re on a one trick pony!

  • Anne Green

A family outing that was a hit with all ages from 4-70. We were there early, around midday, so fairly quiet, which suited us, can't say how busy it gets in the evenings. Loved the décor and atmosphere. Played an adult game upstairs first with the youngsters able to have a go using the 'chutes'. Then we had a drink downstairs before trying the lighter, smaller balls and lanes where the girls could participate more. A different activity for some of us and really good fun. If you are looking for something inclusive that all ages can enjoy I would strongly recommend this venue.

  • Jada

This place is a joke. I booked with them clearly shown on my email that the date was a typo and was meant to be booked for the day after. Apparently I was speaking to the manager and she wasn’t accommodating at all; was rude and wouldn’t even give me a refund for the £34.95 that I spent. I wasn’t even offered a voucher or a different day to come I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone they just rob your money and can’t even refund peoples money especially if they didn’t even play. Customer service is appalling

  • Estelle Tao

Not happy about the booking service. Due to number of kids over online booking limits, I emailed Strike to book kids party a month after, I emailed back to Strike the prefer time slot and ready to pay at noon time, no reply the whole afternoon, I chased again next day in the morning, by noon, I was been told that the space/slot were taken and till 2 months after. I am so ready to pay and waiting for this such disappointed reply. No response over 1 day time and no action booking chosen slot till chase.

  • yisroel levin

Amazing atmosphere. Very comfortable sits and nice customer service. Btw we didn't know that you have to book the place to come and play bowling & receptionist was telling us that we can't come just like that from the street(because we have to book in advance as it's very busy), but after few "please" she allowed us to enter - the place was completely empty, and the staff was more than excited to see at least us as a customers Overall experience was good and would probably recommend to friends

  • Heeta Patel

Had a fantastic time bowling with my nieces. The venue is clean, well set out, decor / interior design is great, plus it's a listed building so a lot of original features on show - beautiful! The snack-y food we had was yummy, niece loved the chips, I loved the onion rings. Big shout out to Nicole for being so attentive and willing to assist - quick and professional. Will keep this place in mind next time I go out with friends. Thanks to the team at Strike!

  • derek chan

Went with my wife and 2 boys (9 and 7) today for bowling, darts and lunch. We arrived slightly late, but it wasn’t an issue for the team who shuffled around our bookings so we didn’t miss out on anything. Boys first time on the darts board which they really enjoyed. Food was great. Fresh and tasty. Really nice coffee too. The whole place was well kept and clean. We all had a great time. Definitely be back again soon.

  • Ian Armstrong

Mother's Day family visit. Bowling, darts and shuffleboard. Bowling lanes seemed shorter than normal which suited our kids. Darts was great fun but seen more interactive boards elsewhere. Shuffleboard was not electronic as I thought so not as engaging for us. Food was exceptional though! Nachos and chicken strips x2 (we had to have more!). Plus, one dish was free (and a glass of wine) for my wife on Mother's Day.

  • Amber Robinson

A great atmosphere and a good choice of things to play and do. Eileen was an absolute star and was so kind to me and the group I was with. It was her second day working there but she was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be returning soon! We played tenpin bowling upstairs as well as a last minute darts game which we all really enjoyed. Highly recommend coming here!

  • Lauren McLeod

My boyfriend and I have been here many times and each time was so fun. The staff are lovely especially Sushui who is very social and hospitable. We have played darts a few times while here and we both are competitive so it was loads of fun. Would highly recommend anyone to visit while in the area, even if it’s just for a quick drink and game at the end of the night.

  • paige mcelhatton

Had an amazing time tonight for my partners 23rd Birthday. We came with a few friends and we were made to feel so welcomed! Kelly and Louis (I hope I spelt her name right) made us feel so comfortable plus another lady who gave my partner a beer on the house for his but I didn’t catch her name unfortunately. We will be coming again soon. Is definitely worth a visit!

  • Grantley Morgan

Strike is a whole lotta fun! We loved the retro theme to the venue, great food and good bar selection. Service was fantastic - we appreciated our host finding the next available slot giving us the full allotted time on the alley. A game for 2 worked out £1 per minute which feels a little on the expensive side, but we came away happy we visited!

  • Nejc Bergant

I love this place! The decor is gorgeous, the drinks and the food is superb and they’re open till late and the staff is amazing and so friendly. Especially Sindy! She is just the most amazing, the friendliest, the kindest person ever and she makes the meanest and the best cocktails ever!!! Period. Sindy is awesome!

  • Emilie Girardin

Just had our son’s birthday party at Strike and kids (and adults) had a great time! Kelly was fantastic in helping out with the organisation, getting drinks and food etc. Food was also great, happily surprised! Just one suggestion for future kids’ parties: it’d be good to have lighter balls for the younger ones.

  • J44 LTO

This place is a real gem! Really great if you want to just chill and unwind after a long week at work. John Ray behind the bar is an absolute magician, you won't find a better bartender. He really made my visit worth while with his hospitality and customer service. I highly recommend that you visit the place.

  • Kate Lou

Had such a great time at Strike. The cocktails and tailored shots were so good! I think it’s hard to find a place that does good cocktails and this place certainly does exceed with theirs. John the bartender is personable and such a great character. Thank you so much! We will be back :)

  • Mia

Went with family and friends to celebrate my mums birthday and had such an amazing time! Big thank you to John, Kelly and Leila for such wonderful and friendly service the whole night! Shout out to the amazing kitchen staff for the delicious food also! A must visit in Wandsworth.

  • turkessa gilkes

Mateo was amazing! He was really kind and attentive (although we were very annoying and ordering multiple drinks). We also trusted him to make a drink for us (surprise!) which was lovely! I recommend seeing him and letting him help you. Very friendly and great service!

  • Albert Upenieks

Our group at work spent a very enjoyable evening here on Friday. The bowling and darts were a lot of fun and the burgers were tasty. Thanks to the staff and especially Kelly who was so hospitable and helpful throughout the evening, even to giving us extra darts time.

  • Oliver Ogg

Thank you to the staff as we hosted our kids birthday party here with some bowling. Great set up with tables nearby, friendly staff despite full on kids(!), nice sized lanes, cool graphics on the screens. Might just need a few more balls in size S / weight 8.

  • Benjamin Harvey

If you're looking for a slightly classier bowling experience than at Hollywood Bowl/Tenpin, then look no further. The four lanes upstairs are well maintained and there was a good atmosphere on a Saturday evening. There are other activities downstairs as well.

  • Matilda Crome

We had a great time here, there was no room on the ten pin bowling so we went for duck pin bowling. The atmosphere was amazing. The drinks were good, usual London prices . and the food was nice enough, the vegan burger was a bit on the boring side.

  • Francesco Cretella

It was amazing, I didn't go upstairs but I played the minibowling at the ground floor and I also tried the social darts. The staff was super friendly and the cocktails tasted really good. Next time, I'll definitely try the bowling alleys upstairs!

  • Dell van der Westhuizen

We had an amazing time for my 10 year old daughter's birthday party. Kelly, our host, was so good with the girls they loved her. Kelly went out of her way to make it a special occasion. Thank you Kelly. Strike will certainly be seeing us again.

  • AT

Came here for a little bowling date night. It was so fun with few lanes so it makes it feel like a more intimate space with a good vibe. Only thing is the games are so short! Would be nice to have a few more rounds available to play in a row

  • Kirsty Goodacre

First time being even though I've lived in the area for ages!! Such a great vibe in there and the staff are absolutely - especially Mike and Adrian!! Great music and the games are really fun, love the variety of different game types in darts

We had my son’s birthday party here and it was wonderful. Kelly, our party host was amazing - she went above and beyond for us and worked so hard. The party was perfect and my son is still talking about how much fun he and his friends had.

  • Sachin Patel

I’ve been a few times. The games are brilliant especially duck pin (you must try it if you haven’t!) and the food is really good. However their child policy is harsh - no kids after 7 and it’s not stated anywhere so you only find out the

  • Carol Skelton

We really enjoyed our visit to strike. The duck pin bowling was great fun and super helpful staff. Especially John who was so helpful when ordering food and really took in to account allergies (gluten free) and he made amazing cocktails!

Had low expectations as we arrived. They were further lowered after looking at the sparse menu. However, the spicy chicken burger arrived after a few games of Shuffleboard, and before I knew it I was happy to stay there and play on the

  • Robert Harper

Always good for an really fun night out. Bowling upstairs is so much fun and great value. All the staff are lovely but Nicole was so attentive and insanely friendly, she made our evening and couldn't ask for a better member of staff.

  • Anna Hourmouzios

We took a group of 16 children here for my son's 8th birthday party and it was totally brilliant. They had an hour's duckpin bowling (smaller balls without the finger holes so easier for younger children to get the hang of, it was a

  • Zainab Ahmad

Had my daughter's birthday party last weekend, the party host Kelly was super friendly and helpful and made sure the girls had a great time. The food was great and we added a game of darts after the food. Everyone had a great time.

  • Fran Cesca

We had a great night out duckpin for a birthday! John was particularly helpful with amazing cocktails (a perfect margarita) and took extra care over my friend's food order as she is coeliac. Lovely fun and friendly atmosphere.

  • Jade Carvalho

Went here on a super quiet Saturday and was given extra time for free on darts due to the quietness. Drinks were tasty and the darts and shuffleboard are so fun! Friendly staff and good atmosphere! Highly recommend

  • Dimitri

Had such an amazing time. Want to go back for my birthday. The food was really nice and the portion sizes are large! Personally my favourite was the shuffle pucks. Such a cool idea. I’ll be back soon

  • The iAM Project

We went to Strike on Sunday and had a great time. The staff behind the counter and bar were very friendly and helpful (we even got a few song requests!), and the overall experience was good fun!

  • Flexchillax

I would rate it zero if I could! Complete rip off. Bowling sessions should be per hour and not per game. If you weren’t a group it’s not worth it, we finished our game in less than 15 mins.

  • Carine Buadi (Ms Boro)

Very accommodating staff. Eileen, who was on her first day, couldn't have been more helpful to our last minute booking of over 30 guests. All the staff were great! Will definitely be back

  • Michael Bottjer

Staff aren’t particularly keen to help nor friendly despite them suggesting we’d booked the wrong times, email confirmations showed otherwise. Bowling alley is dysfunctional.
