“Combining ten lanes with at-lane service and an exciting food and drinks menu, a trip to Soul Bowl is whatever adventure you want to make of it, be that a night out with friends or a trip for the family.”

As well as the ten lanes, the site also includes a relaxed bar environment, with Fussball, pool tables and an extensive cocktail and gin bar menu. Solly continued: “We’ve seen great success with boutique bowling alleys in locations such as Newcastle, Manchester and London and we’re so excited to be bringing this to Morecambe.”

The site development also includes the creation of Vista, an Italian Soul Bar and Kitchen.

“The view and restaurant interior make a stunning combination and we have developed a relaxed yet authentic Italian menu to compliment the atmosphere.

“We will be offering happy hour menus and a fabulous Sunday lunch offer too, to ensure Vista has something to offer everyone.”
