TIRED turkey breasts swimming in a sea of gelatinous gravy is often a mainstay of the office Christmas do. If you’ve worked hard all year, you certainly deserve something more than a bland buffet. Dog Bowl will give you a Christmas party to remember, rather than one you’d rather forget.

Half price bowling is included in their Christmas lunchtime package on certain dates if you book and confirm before the end of October

Whether it’s a gathering of friends, a lunchtime treat or a chance to beat your boss on the lanes, Dog Bowl has a range of options guaranteed to keep even the stroppiest secretary smiling this Christmas.

From a few drinks for five to elaborate receptions for 200, the booking options at Dog Bowl are as flexible as possible to allow you to enjoy a party that is personal to you.

Bowling will add that extra something to your Christmas party, but at prices that won’t break the bank. At only £8 a head at peak times, £6 a head at off peak times, and £4 a head for kids and students with an NUS card, this is festive fun you can afford.

And there's half price bowling included in their Christmas lunchtime package (12pm-4pm) on certain dates if you book and confirm before the end of October. Half price bowling is available on following dates only: Monday 2 December, Tuesday 3 December, Wednesday 4 December, Monday 9 December, Tuesday 10 December and Wednesday 11 December.
