Went to the Hooma comedy club It was up the narrow stairs and I didn't see any accessible lift. Comedians were quite good although should have done in a different order to peak at the best one not start with him. Compair was invasive and rude which did dampen our night a bit.

Such a great evening! Booked a few lanes for my husband's 40th birthday and it was great! We had food to start with which was yummy then we went onto bowling afterwards. Every member of staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Pricing was reasonable and the atmosphere was great - can’t wait to go again!

Bowling, karaoke, etc... all good... but dining was awesome! Fresh 'homemade' burgers, loaded nachos fab, massive! But the steaks were different... they were excellent! Complemented the chef! Drinks great, and unfortunately found another Adnams beer I love ;) The dining area is part of the activities area experience, in that it's noisy, but not intolerable. The yummy food deserves it's own separate dining area! Super friendly staff. Overall, it was genuinely a nice surprise!

It's a real mixed bag of things, bowling, comedy, bar, karaoke and food, but it's a good time. Cocktails were good, staff brilliant. Only draw back is its a bit of a walk from the city centre to get to, but that's not really an actual issue

Hit up 'The Bowling House' in Norwich for a mate's birthday bash, and what a blast we had! Picture this: 15 of us descending like a hungry pack of wolves, ready to bowl, eat, and sip on some drinks. Booking 3 lanes in advance was a smooth move – gave us our own little corner to get competitive and cheer each other on. The staff were legends, keeping our glasses filled and taking our mountain of food orders without breaking a sweat. Speaking of food, when they say 'nachos,' they really mean it. Enough to feed two easily, or one very hungry bowler. After we were done throwing balls down lanes, they had our feast ready to go. The food wasn't just plentiful; it was delicious, too. The Bowling House? More like the 'Bowing Down to Great Service and Food House.' Great vibes, awesome for parties, and you bet, I'm already planning the next visit!

Love this place. Best nachos in Norwich, food is great value varied and really good quality. If you're looking for fast food/ street food style, this is a great example. Plus, you can bowl or even have a go at the boutique karaoke. I like that they have a few zero alchohol options rather than standard becks blue. Decent board games was a jce touch and its kid freindly a great buisness. Great for meeting friends or a family night out. Rather eat here than a lot of chain places in Norwich.

Unfortunately I will have to admit I pre judged the building from outside and wasn't expecting great things. But wow wasn't I surprised, my wife two boys (5) & (8) and I went in half term for a game of bowling. The staff were so friendly to my boys, engaging in conversation about his Pokémon. Another member of their staff got my youngest to help with the bowling bumpers. They really enjoyed it and so did we. The place was lively and the food looked great. This is by far the most fun bowling alley in Norwich and I would happily return anytime. My lesson definitely was not to pre judge a book by its cover.

Came back with some friends after a visit two years ago, and loved it again! Turned up a tad early and had some food despite the kitchen closing at 3pm, the staff were more than accommodating and lovely and let us order and even pushed our lane back a little bit to give us time to eat. The cocktails were great and the bowling was a lot of fun!

I ordered a vegan mushroom burger for collection as normally just eat struggle to assign a driver to deliver to NR6. I collected but when I got home and sat down to eat it had a meat patty inside with Stilton sauce, pickles and bohoo sauce with the mushroom. Pretty disappointing being a vegan and have meat and cheese in your burger. Called the restaurant and was offered a replacement but I had to drive to collect it by this time my son was in bed so this wasn’t an option. Now awaiting a refund

We’ve been to two Friday night comedy sessions from Hooma Comedy Club at Bowling House now and they’ve been being amazing, especially since tickets are only £3 in advance. We were particularly impressed by the cocktail selection and the mixology skills of the staff at the bar. After the comedy wrapped up at 22:00 we played a round of retro bowling which was a fun way to continue the evening. We were surprised that the lanes were open till 12.

Booked the upstairs room for a birthday party. The booking communication was very good. Quick responses and lots of information. The room was not big enough for 45 people, let alone the 60 they say it can accommodate. You’d be packed in like sardines if you had 60 people. Told staff in advance I couldn’t organise pre orders for 45 people and asked if there will be enough food, they said they can’t guarantee all items will be available but will ensure they is plenty of food. After half the guests had eaten, they shut the kitchen saying they had no food left. After a few discussions, including one staff member saying ‘I haven’t eaten anything today either’ we were quite shocked by the attitude. Then a few plates of nachos were made for us. We moved passed this and enjoyed the rest of the evening until 23:00 when they, without telling us, closed the bar. There were around 30 of us left upstairs partying and we would have all had a last drink if they’d have at least checked in with us. The barman said ‘he didn’t realise we were still here’… walk up the stairs and have a look! It felt a little bit like they couldn’t be bothered to work and did the bare minimum. We still enjoyed the evening, but it could have been much less stressful.

Visited Bowling House with friends recently for a spot of bowling and karaoke, have to say that the bowling is great fun, and that the lanes are very relaxed and not super fast paced like at some bowling alleys. The Karaoke was great fun, and definitely made our night, the only reason I've left a four star review instead of a five star is because of the lack of air conditioning in the karaoke booth, we had a 90 minute session and by the end of it we were all dripping with sweat because of the humidity and desperately needed water, which being fair the bar lady gave us with no issues. Once the air conditioning is fixed we'll gladly go for karaoke here again!

Bowling and karaoke for a staff night out! So much fun! We also had dinner here beforehand which was delicious. Staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The only thing we wished is that the coat stands in between each lane were moveable.

The food was great, worthy of the money considering the discount. However it was really late, ordered the food at 6:30pm and arrived nearly 8pm already. They had the initiative to give provide free drinks even without me asking and there was a note of apology which I found really nice acknowledging what was wrong. I’d still order from them hopefully won’t be late again.

Just ordered some food through Just Eat and the chicken burger was not as I expected/recalled. Looked on the website and it turns out it is a different chicken burger to what you serve at the BH. That is very odd and a bit disappointing. Why different menus? And, when I called them up and said about a plain burger for a child, they said they don't do child burgers. But your menu on your website has a child's menu and includes a burger. Why did not tell us that?

Our experience here was really mixed. When we arrived we were told where to find out table and given menus. There’s a QR code on the table to order but it didn’t work and no member of staff came over to take our order/check in. Eventually after quite a while waiting, I got up to ask a member of staff. The food was good and filling, luckily we didn’t have to wait for too long for our food to arrive. We’d also booked into bowling after our meal (which is free when you order a main meal over the weekend) but unfortunately it hadn’t been put through the system which meant we had to wait for a while for a lane to become available. The staff were friendly though. The Bowling House is a great idea, especially when there’s a group of you/a couple and you want a good night out/looking for something fun to do. There were just a few things that needed tweaking to improve our experience.

Great little find! Had some coffee before going to the soft play with our little girls. Soft play was clean and well organised with a time slot booking system. Decided to have some lunch when we fed the girls and opted for the dirty fries which consisted of chilli, cheese and mayo……….. they were amazing! Staff friendly, baby changing facilities really good and very clean. We can’t wait to go back again.

My husband and I called here for a drink Saturday evening on the way to eat out somewhere nearby, with another couple. The football crowd had left, pleasant surroundings with just the right amount of people to make a good atmosphere. What was bizarre was that the staff insisted on serving our drinks in plastic glasses. We questioned this, and said that all other tables we could see had proper glasses, but were told they’d booked tables to eat and were allowed proper glasses. Crazy, as we sat on a table in the middle of other tables, all with proper glasses!
