Basildon Bowling Centre Reviews

I'm 32 years old and was asked for I.D. before I had asked for my drink. I was only ordering a lemonade anyway... My glass was filled with mostly Ice and not much lemonade.

Not much social distancing going on. I had thought they were using every other lane, but was disappointed to find others in the lane next to us. A lot of people not wearing masks and even more wearing them under their nose or under their chin. Not likely to return during the pandemic, as I didn't feel safe.

All ways a fantastic time at Hollywood bowl staff so helpful and friendly drinks where good and food was excellent...

It was great! We had a really nice time and service was excellent!

Great for all the family and they have renovated too, but not enough staff especially on the bar.

Great game of bowling.... Kids were lucky to have won.... Nice inside. Have arcades and places to eat and drink. Also have vip lanes

Friendly staff a little over priced
Arcade area could do with updating

Worth booking.Good atmosphere and something for everyone under one roof

As we walked in there it was.
A bowl full of holly and wood.
True to its name

Nice atmosphere but while waiting at the bar someone walked straight up and got served immediately. The chairs in the bar area are horrendous. All the cushions had springs sticking into the outer fabric at various angles. The safest way to sit was to remove the cushion, but then you're sitting on hard wood. Decided to have a game of pool - the cues rattled and there was only one chalk. I left after an hour.

Lovely place's to go for evening with friend's and family's. Nice to spend birthday there and it lovely to do other thing's as well part from having meal and drinks. Nice place to met up with family's or friend's also staff are really friendly and helpful.

Old balls, could use a refurb, lakeside one is much better

Beautiful spot! Enjoyed a great evening there last night! Highly recommend

Lovely place for the kids, VIP AREA was great for my kids party.

Great place if you go when is quite. Nice balls, and clean place.

Shoody excuse for sercurity stuff less then helpfull and no cctv for the whole arcade area for a theft to my family

Great family friendly place to go - in fact we might go back this weekend

A great place, friendly staff. and what stood out most. Is how clean the toilets are. The cleaners deserve a pay rise.

A good time spent with the family, I would recommend booking but all facilities were very good

A decent way to pass some time. One thing that I found unbearable was the high temperature inside the building. It was like a furnace in there. It's likely intended to force people into buying more drinks Expensive drinks at that. It was an ordinary experience.

Go here every so often as a family, weather it be for the bowling, or just the arcades, the bowling, if it's busy, and you have taken too long they have the next lot of people waiting at the end of the stall, watching, which I hate, as when More

Great night out bowling with the team. Really good fun. Relaxed after in the bar.

It's a great place but the drinks are very expensive and we had to wait an hour to get a lane. The staff were very friendly though. I would go back but book in advance

Nice venue bit tired in places but the bowling works perfectly.

Love this place. It has everything you need from a bowling alley and the foods great

very busy quite often but customer service is good and the facilities are amazing

We had a brilliant time here. A great place to get together with friends for some indoor fun. They ve got bowling of course along with loads of other games too.. and very nice & friendly staff. The toilets are quite clean too. Their website says: You can even test out your skills on the 2p machines .. We did that and we won!!!! This bright, colourful smiley face Spring. So definitely one happy customer :))

Really fun day out with friends and family great staff
