What players say
Hands down my favourite place to unwind. Great tables, chilled vibe and always something going on.
I joined as a member last year and it's been totally worth it. The discounts are great and it's always welcoming, whether I'm playing or just watching.
Fantastic setup for both pool and darts. Friendly staff, a well-stocked bar, and the weekly events make it feel like a real community.
A word from Daniel
I opened The Pool Hall to be the place I'd always wanted to play in: proper tables, a great atmosphere and a warm welcome, whatever your level.
Pool has given me a lot over the years, including the friends in this photo. Whether you're picking up a cue for the first time, bringing the kids along on a Tuesday or chasing a title, there's a table here for you.
To everyone who's walked through the door, played in a league, entered a comp or brought their mates down: thank you. The support has been brilliant, and it's you lot who give the place its atmosphere.
Come and say hello at the bar. See you on the tables.
Daniel Wells, owner
