8 Best Bowling Alleys In Lincolnshire

Independent alleys named after their towns — Boston Bowl, Lincoln Bowl, Scunthorpe Bowl — give Lincolnshire's bowling page an old-fashioned local character that most counties surrendered to the chains long ago. The ratings back the locals up. Ancaster Leisure tops the list at 4.7 with bowling folded into a wider activity venue, and a remarkable four-way tie at 4.4 follows: Boston Bowl, Cleethorpes Ten Pin Bowling, Lincoln Bowl and Hollywood Bowl Lincoln, the last listing adult games at £6.55. Laser Storm adds a 4.5-rated laser option — the page's only entry with outdoor space — and Scunthorpe Bowl keeps the north of the county in the game at 4.3. The single caution is Alleycatz, whose rating of 2 stands well apart from everything else here. Eight venues across a large, spread-out county means most Lincolnshire towns of any size keep their own lanes, from the seaside at Cleethorpes to the cathedral city itself. It is a page where the name on the door is usually the town's own, and the scores suggest that local pride is pulling its weight.
