When I go to this club I usually get there early and make a afternoon of night of it. The bingo is priced up with different deals on certain days of the week. Sometimes there is an all in ticket price. I personally prefer to go on days that aren't all in as I'm not quick enough to do a strip of 6 at the same time. The decor is a little dated, but the atmosphere makes up for that. They have recently put in some wizard machines for people who the machines to do the work.

Having been back to…read morePitsea gala recently after going to the Basildon Gala it is so small, which in turn means less people and much less prize money. When I was last in there a couple of months ago it was so emply, i'm surprised it is still a viable concern. This was a lunchtime, perhaps the evenings are better. The staff were all nice and friendly and the caller was clear. I would be surprised if I went back to the hall again. There no comparison with the Basildon experience.

Prices are reasonable but reminds me a little of school canteen cooking and it can have long queues if you go when the break is on.
