Twenty-six lanes at Cribbs Causeway

The Mall at Cribbs Causeway lists its bowling under The Venue, a leisure block next door on Merlin Road in Patchway that also holds a Vue cinema and the Planet Ice rink. Hollywood Bowl takes 26 lanes there, some of them set aside as VIP lanes with sofa seating and staff who take orders at the table.

Between frames there is pool and an arcade, and the diner sends burgers, pizzas and sharing platters to the lanes. Prices on the centre page are pitched slightly higher than at Longwell Green on the other Bristol site: the student bundle starts at £12 and the Kids party at £11 a child, with Kids+ from £15.50 and the Teens package from £16.50.

Booking a lane at Cribbs Causeway

Without a booking, a lane is available only if one is free. Bookings for 20-plus people go via the events team.
