A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR BRAND:

Looking for a fun and exciting opportunity? Let the good times roll at Roxy Lanes! Here you will always find state of the art ten-pin bowling lanes, with our venues being centred around this game - hence the name! A wide variety of other gaming is also available, from Shuffleboard to American Pool, Tech Darts to Karaoke and much more! Roxy Lanes also attracts a family audience, allowing under 18s in during the daytime accompanied by an adult. Live sports are also available throughout all Roxy Lanes venues, showing key sporting events through Sky Sports and BT Sports.

Started by 2 brothers 13 years ago, falling under the Professionals At Play umbrella, we now operate 28 sites nationwide with many more to come! Our mission is to bring the playground to the bar.
