Walk-ins and bookings in Medway

Junior prices apply up to the age of 15. Arriving without a booking is fine if lanes are free, but a confirmed slot needs an online booking.

Unit 9 on Chariot Way

Chariot Way leads into Medway Valley Leisure Park, a retail and leisure site in Rochester where restaurants and other attractions surround Unit 9 and its 26 bowling lanes. A handful of those lanes are reserved as VIP lanes, screened off from general play: groups pay a supplement per person for lounge seats, a server who takes orders at the lane and a faster check-in.

Pool and arcade machines occupy the space beyond the lanes, and the Bar & Diner brings food to the lanes; outside food and drink are not allowed. For larger gatherings, the events team handles parties of 20 or more and can set aside neighbouring lanes or the entire floor. Medway students start at £12 for a pair of games with a drink, and teenagers' birthday packages begin at £16.50 a guest.
