Review: Roxy Lanes Roxy Juniors 10 Pin Bowling

This week we go the chance to try out one of the coolest restaurants in Leeds, Roxy Lanes.

Located in the heart of the city, above Tesco and right outside Trinity Roxy Lanes is a bowling alley, restaurant and bar all rolled into one.

Ted had never been bowling before and my neice had only been a few times so on the way they were both a little bit excited about the visit.

Roxy Lanes has recently launched Roxy Juniors, a 10 pin bowling experience launched especially for kids Sunday-Friday 3pm-6pm and Saturdays 10am-3pm.


The restaurant is located directly above the Tesco supermarket and it can't be missed, with some amazing Vegas like sign posts outsides you won't walk past it. Upon arrival it was nice to see that there was lift that could take our double buggy!

Upon on arrival the first thing i noticed was how clean and aesthetically pleasing the venue was. It really looked a cut above the rest, even the was well themed and stocked!


After picking up our shoes from the desk we headed straight to lane to get cracking with the bowling. The quality of the lane and equipment was apparent, it was nice that the had a feature that allowed the rails to pop up only on the kids turn. This was a nice touch and one that meant us adults could bowl without the rails.


The staff offered us smaller balls for the children and we had free use of the bowling aids. These made the game a little more fun for our two year old who wasn't able to pick up some of the bigger heavier balls.

When the rabble were waiting their turn we were able to kick back and relax on a table and seating section located directly behind the lane. This meant that we could let Ted walk around unsupervised, which definitely put our mind at ease.

We ordered drinks whilst we waited and the friendly staff carried them over to the seating area for us so we didn't have to leave the the kids alone. The staff were also more than happy to help warming up Charlie's bottle.


We had a couple of great games of bowling and Ted, considering he had never been bowling before in his life did well and really warmed to the experience. After all that hard work we decided to stick around try and out the food in the restaurant.


With a quirky themed art throughout the restaurant we sat down to enjoy a some quality cooked food.


The food is both reasonably priced and made from quality ingredients. I went for the Chorizo and chicken pizza, the kids had meals from the lunch menu. You can view the menu here should you want to take a look at the prices. 

My favourite food from the meal was the cracked-pepper chips, omg they were amazing. Closely behind were the dough-balls that were left soaking in garlic butter.


As we ordered a shed-load of food we couldn't possibly eat all of it. So the staff were more than happy to pack-up the left over food for us to take home.

I was overall impressed with my visit, i would definitely visit again both with the family and on a night out with friends. The only problems i faced was that they didn't have a high-chair for Ted and they didn't have baby changing facilities so we had to change baby Charlie in his pushchair and Ted standing-up.

If you fancy visiting during half terms then visit their website here or check out them on Twitter, they occasionally update their customer with news and offers so it is well worth following them..
