Ten-pin bowling operator, Hollywood Bowl, has reported a record-breaking year.

The company, which has a bowling alley in The Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham, saw revenues rise by 16.2% to £215.1m for the year to September 30.

In the UK, the average spend per game grew 3.4% to £11.06 and like-for-like sales in Amusements were up 7.3% following the expansion of contactless payment technology and new game formats

Hollywood Bowl's UK bowling alleys also saw a 9.9% increase in food spend per game, despite many menu items remaining at 2019 prices.

During the year, the company opened three new centres and refurbished or rebranded 13 centres, including retiring the AMF brand.

Stephen Burns, chief executive of Hollywood Bowl Group, said: "This is another excellent performance for the group, achieved against an exceptionally strong prior year. It reflects significant customer demand, as well as the success of our customer focused strategy. Innovation of our offer has led to growth across all our revenue lines while keeping our prices low.

"We have had an encouraging start to the year with people looking for ways to enjoy activities with families, friends and colleagues demonstrating the continued strong demand for high quality, great value leisure experiences."
