“A group of us met there on a Thursday for a couple of drinks and a catch-up. The place was quite enough to talk easily, but still had a good atmosphere and good beer. Plenty of parking if you have a driver or someone to pick you up.”

“Visited the Golden Bowler a few times now. Obviously, like it here, we are always made to feel welcome. The staff are keen and enthusiastic. What more do you need other than a good pint and keen prices. It’s all here, I will be visiting again soon.”

“Really enjoyed my experience at The Golden Bowler today. The staff were polite, professional and welcoming. There was a great selection and quality of drinks. The pub itself is a 10 minute walk from the seafront. Can think of a better beer garden to have a drink at in the summer.”

“Great service and reasonably priced. Noted this establishment does loads for charity also. A fine example of a great British pub which is is not a chain so original. We must keep this type of pub open. Well done all concerned.”
