Eat for free at The Bowling Club!

If you’re in need of food assistance, the way we can help best is by sharing kai with you here at The Bowling Club.

Come in during our open hours (Monday to Thursday 3:30 to 8pm) for a free meal, dessert, and drink.

You can simply tell your server you'd like to eat for free. Or, take one of our brightly coloured "FREE FOOD" vouchers from our utensils table. Show it to your server when you order your kai so they know not to charge you.

We understand that not everyone is able to make it here, so we also offer other options with the help of our community. See some of our other options below.
