Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately we operate a no refunds policy but if we have 48 hours notice, subject to management discretion, we can reschedule your booking within the next 6 months.  Please email hello@eaststreetlanes.co.uk to arrange this.

A confirmation email is sent out automatically to every online booking. If you haven’t received this, please check your junk folder and that the email address you gave us is correct. Alternatively, send us an email to hello@eaststreetlanes.co.uk with the time, date and the name of the booking and we will reissue the confirmation.

If you booked online, you must be in possession of the payment card and the confirmation email that you received. Without both, you will not be permitted to bowl.

East Street Lanes has a fully-stocked bar serving draught, canned and bottled beers, cocktails, mocktails, milkshakes, soft and hot drinks.

Booking in advance isn’t absolutely necessary as we welcome walk-in customers throughout the week. However, we do recommended you book for a Friday and Saturday as we are usually very busy.

We allot 10 minutes per player per game, so 2 bowlers will have a 20 minute slot, 6 bowlers a 60 minute slot, etc. This is slightly longer than the average time it takes to play and allows us a few minutes to prepare the lane for the party following you.

You can email us at hello@eaststreetlanes.co.uk with your requirements. Please include date and time requested, numbers of bowlers and games, a contact number, and any additional requirements, ie. food and drinks.

Send the information to hello@eaststreetlanes.co.uk quoting the booking name, date and a contact telephone number. We will then add your extra guests and call you to take a card payment. Guests not paid for will not be shown on the reservation.

I’m afraid not. All bookings must be paid for in full at the point of reservation.
