Visited here after having dinner the previous evening in a much more renown restaurant.
While the atmosphere was as you could expect from a local bowling club we were very surprised by the size and quality of local fish dishes. We chose it with mash and vege and were not disappointed.
Very friendly staff!
And the coconut pie for dessert was to die for.
We will come again!

Enjoyed everything we ate here and the value is the best we found on Norfolk. Tried battered Trumpeter, pan fried King Fish, Ceasar Salad & BLT. All excellent, great side salads and perfect fries.
Bar was also great value and the service good too. Great spot in the middle of town.

We had the best time on Norfolk Island. We ate at the bowls club a lot, and it didn't disappoint. Yummy desserts too!

If every visiting Norfolk Island this is the place for a meal. Either lunch or dinner both great value and variety. No problems serving the multitude of people who turn up. Usually no worries getting a table but with more and more people finding this great food that is served there, just drop in early and get a reservation. Also great prices on the menu and freshly caught fish of the day and a great beer / wine served at the bar with great wait staff and friendly approach well recommend this venue.

Great place to have lunch and dinner. Seafood dishes are a must. Betty and the staff are fantastic. Worth a try. Booking daily. It is so good that we were there 2 nights in a roll.

Absolutely incredible food, doesn't get any better than here. Lively atmosphere and a welcoming place to visit if you'd like to chat with the locals.

The Bistro in the Bowling Club has an excellent menu. Quality food and generous portions with a friendly service make this one of the best on the island. We went there early, around 5 pm so were lucky to find a table. Could be harder to get a table if late proving this is one of the best.

Just the best food ever, I've broken my vegan diet multiple times here because I just forget to care the food is so good! Great service and friendly atmosphere.

A very nice club with delicious meals! Their garlic prawns for dinner is excellent and I also recommend the roast vegetable salad at lunchtime!

Really great quality food, at reasonable prices given that you are in the middle of the Ocean. Bar prices were far better than most of the mainland clubs. Loved the atmosphere and loved feeling welcomed by the locals.

Great place to meet the locals, have a beer or six and good pub-style food. No pints through sadly, just schooners.

Hands down best restaurant on the island however you gotta book a table in advance and you wanna go when there isn't that many people do not be disturbed by the ambience

Not the fastest service but when every table is taken and people waiting to be seated what do you expect we ate there twice each time it was worth the wait it was wonderful food and how welcome we were made

Consistently well presented and tasty food. Most of the items on the menu can be ordered for takeaway.
