Hollywood Bowl Lakeside
Booking lanes at The Quay
On weekend evenings lanes can be gone hours in advance, so book online; otherwise walk-ins take any lane that is free.
Lanes and SingPods at The Quay
The Quay, on West Thurrock Way, is the part of the Lakeside shopping centre where Hollywood Bowl keeps 24 lanes. The latest arrival is a cluster of karaoke SingPods, billed as brand new, which give a group a second activity once the games are done.
As a rule of thumb, a game for six players lasts around 45 minutes. A VIP upgrade, with lounge seating and staff bringing orders over, can be added to a booking, and pool tables and an arcade are on site too. Food comes from the Bar & Diner, whose menu runs from burgers and wings to sharing platters, ordered without leaving the lane. Students book from £12, each child at a party costs from £11 and the Christmas party package costs from £30 per person. Weekday sessions begin at 11:00.
