The venue has today confirmed that the two food partners joining the new flagship site include the iconic Manchester pizza pros, PLY, and Asian street food favourites Little Bao Boy.

King Pins’ own dessert kiosk ‘Royal Treats’ will serve a huge selection of sweet snacks, from donuts and soft serve ice cream, to endless Pick ‘N’ Mix, while the new eye-catching bar in the venue will serve 20 different beers including from local Salford brewery, Seven Bro7hers, alongside a large variety of cocktails, alcohol-free options and homemade slushies.

PLY is famed for its outside-the-box non-traditional pizzas, and homemade dough which uses ethically grown, UK-produced wild farmed flour. The menu will be packed with the best of the best pizzas from PLY’s repertoire, including plant-based options, a special kids menu and a brand new King Pins pizza, exclusive to the venue.

Originally founded in Leeds, Little Bao Boy is the home of delicious independent and mobile street food, serving up home made bao buns and Asian food with a western, contemporary twist. Their King Pins site will be no different, offering up an abundance of bao’s - from beef brisket to salt & pepper aubergine.

An offering like no other

James Travis, Brand Manager of King Pins, said: “We’re looking forward to finally opening King Pins this summer at Trafford Palazzo. The offering at King Pins is like no other, we are all about quality as opposed to outdated family fun. We can’t wait to showcase everything on offer, including a truly state-of-the-art bowling experience and some top tier local food vendors.”

“King Pins will be a place for the whole family to have fun, but equally the space will transform by night into an entertainment venue with music, drinks and bowling which is also perfect for adults looking for something different.”
