Wellington Bowl
Ten lanes on Wellington Pier
Behind the Wellington Pier Arcade on Great Yarmouth's Marine Parade, Wellington Bowl runs ten lanes with Brunswick scoring and bumpers that can be raised on any lane. Shoes and house balls are free, and a loyalty scheme gives a free game for every five played.
The games room to one side looks over the lanes and the beach, with coin-operated American pool, air hockey and arcade machines, and another pool table sits in the Ocean View lounge. The licensed café bar serves burgers, hot dogs and scampi, with an outdoor seating area facing the sea. A single game is £8.75, students pay £6.50, and an hour on a lane is £40. At busy times a waiting list is shown around the centre. The same operator runs a site in Felixstowe.
