East Cessnock Bowling Club - Lawn Bowls, Cessnock NSW

Girl at front desk is very rude, not very welcoming. Bar staff just as bad, besides one nice lady. Restaurant was great along with staff!

I ordered a couple of takeaway meals from the servery. While the meals in the past weren't particularly good, they were eatable, just, however the last time I ordered a Takeaway from The Cessnock Bowling Club the meal was dreadful. I ordered honey chicken combination omlet and fried rice. My husband wouldn't have any to eat, and I only had a little.
I don't like to give a bad review, which is why I wasn't going to leave a review at all, we don't frequent the club, only order a couple of meals occasionally, however I am sorry to say I won't be returning. Thank you to the catering staff for being so lovely.

Food - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food is hit or miss. The Singapore noodles (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) are excellent, but other meals have been disappointing. One meal I couldn't even eat - a waste of over $20 (⭐️).

Bar Staff - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Entry Staff - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Restaurant Staff - ⭐️

The restaurant staff could benefit from additional training in customer service, including politeness and friendliness. A smile and good manners cost nothing. They often seem bothered when taking my order, possibly due to being overworked, which comes across as gruff.

Venue - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Poker - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am well travelled and actually like this venue. It wouldn't take much to give it a better vibe.

Bands - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Despite the lack of people, the bands have always been great, and it's nice to see people dancing.

Hopefully, next time I come here I can change my review to 5 ⭐️

I started with a 5.
Dropped to a 1.
Now riding the 3 ⭐️

Have been there several times for various reasons from playing weekday bingo, Drag Bingo and catch up lunches with friends, this club is welcoming and has both a reasonably priced bistro and snack bar.

the bowlo seemed great , kitchen staff were lovely...
shame about the out of sorts woman presenting to be mutten dressed as lamb... not sure if she missed that day at boxing but after the arm gesture's i assume she had to get some air or run it off..
