Club Lawson (Lawson Bowling Club)

Club Lawson is one of those lovely neighbourhood surprises where you can actually relax with the kids. This classic bowling club has a welcoming, unpretentious vibe with two dining options under one roof – a Chinese restaurant and a traditional pub-style menu. The servings are generous and the staff are known for being genuinely friendly, making it easy to settle in for a family meal without fuss.

The venue is fully pram accessible with an accessible entrance, and high chairs are available for little ones. You'll find accessible toilets on site, and while there's no dedicated baby changing facility, parents have managed with the spacious accessible bathroom when needed. It's particularly good value compared to typical pub prices, so you can feed the whole family without breaking the bank.

Pop in during the day or early evening for a quiet, relaxed meal – save the Saturday nights for your next date night though, as the club apparently transforms into something quite different after dark!
