The Bowler Kitchen, the restaurant at Piha Bowling Club on Seaview Road in Piha, West Auckland. The club has been in Piha since 1955 and has one of New Zealand's few remaining natural grass bowling greens. You do not need to be a bowler to visit.
The kitchen is led by chef Mark Thompson. The menu has small plates for sharing, mains for lunch and dinner, a seasonal board of the chef's picks, and a sweet spot for dessert. Tables are requested through the website, and the club confirms the booking afterwards, with a form that asks for group size, occasion and dietary needs. The club also offers social bowls, barefoot bowls, competitions, live music and venue hire.
One visitor says the club is a place where community and goodness come together.
