Lava Lanes

A new establishment has opened in Stanmore and it’s pretty good. £25 will give you an hour of unlimited bowling for up to 8 people. I wouldn’t recommend 8 people for one hour though as time goes quite quickly. Everything is downstairs, is lit solely by LED and smaller than your regular bowling alley (only 4 lanes too) also it doubles up as a restaurant/​bar. The décor is pretty cool too — giant lava lamps around and bowling related stuff.
Reservation is essential as it gets booked up very quickly… only 4 lanes you’d expect it. There is waiter service to the lane so you get food/​drinks brought to you rather than waiting at the bar — quick service too. There’s always deals going on here too so check the website before going and you could possible save a few squids.
The cuisine is a blend of Italian and Indian (apparently the chef is very good) and they have a happy hour; classic cocktails for £4. Definitely worth checking out.
Good for a night out after work with a few friends.
