At Dog Bowl we have 5 lanes, 4 lanes that are able to be reserved and 1 that we keep as a walk-in lane or spare.

We have a maximum capacity of 6 bowlers per lane and we are able to reserve a maximum of 4 lanes per party. This means you can have a maximum of 24 bowlers at one time. If your group size exceeds this, we will split your group into rounds who play one after the other.

The staff were all really helpful and made sure that we were well catered for all evening. It was great fun and well organised.
Not much to complain about, only slight thing was a bit of a delay in the food coming out.

Really good venue and catered for us well. Also were adaptable when our numbers changed after booking which was appreciated
Would have been nice if they had a Bitter on tap but everything else was great
