Edinburgh set for 'ultimate bowling experience' at new Waverley Market games centre
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh's Waverley Market is set for a new bowling and games bar with food and drink. Earlier this year a pre-application notice was submitted to the council for new leisure facilities at the city centre spot. Plans have now been submitted for signage on behalf of King Pins, a chain with several locations across the UK. The bowling alley would open at unit 23, on Waverley Bridge, and include ten lanes, a mini golf course with nine holes, multiple pool tables, two curling lanes and dart boards on the lower level. Visuals of the external signage have also been drawn up on behalf of the applicant as King Pins continues its expansion in Scotland, with its first centre in the country set to open in Glasgow at the end of June. King Pins also offer customers a wide range of food and drinks while enjoying the many games on offer including Neapolitan-style pizza and crispy fried chicken at Marvin's Pizza & Chicken. They also have a Royal Treats stall where customers can choose from soft serve ice cream, doughnuts, brownies and pick n mix. Duck Pin Bowling is another game on offer which is perfect for younger children with shorter alleys and lighter balls. Montagu Evans, who previously submitted the plans to the council, said: "The proposal will provide an assembly & leisure use with an associated restaurant/licensed bar in a highly accessible location adjacent to the Edinburgh Waverley Train Station, and bus stops along Princes Street and within walking distance of inner-city homes. "Therefore, the proposal supports the 20-minute neighbourhood principle."
