Balham Bowls Club

I recently had my 30th birthday party at Balham Bowls Club and we hired out the upstairs function room for the 70+ people attending. Gabby and the team were very helpful and accommodating both during the booking process and on the night itself. Everyone had a great time and I would recommend Balham Bowls Clubs for anyone looking to plan a similar event.

Another absolutely amazing Sunday lunch again. The Yorkshire puddings were amazing, as was the Roast Beef. The veg and gravy were amazing and plenty of it. I travelled 5 miles for this and always will, because there is no better Sunday Lunch (In my opinion) in Balham, Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway and Colliers Wood. The desert was outstanding according to my friend, best he’s had. Do yourselves a favour and have your Sunday lunch here!

Great venue. I am a member of Monumental Choir and we practice here every Monday night (come join us!). We do performances here and it's always a great crowd. I also went to a wedding reception here that was brilliant as we had the whole upstairs to ourselves with a private bar. Super fun, and great staff.

What a most wonderful atmosphere with very friendly staff (francesca, Duncan and others) and the amazing chef, Miro. His roasts are out of this world - just amazing. The flavours and tenderness of the meats is hard to beat. You must go! The sticky toffee pudding is the best too. We'll be back! We'll done all at Balham Bowls Club 🥳
