Phoenix Bowl Saved from Closure in New Ownership Deal
Toby Ellis (PWR Bowl Limited) and Malvin Mathias (3M Leisure Limited) acquire long-standing Milford Haven venue from founder Graham Dalton
Phoenix Bowl, a much-loved pillar of leisure and family entertainment in Milford Haven for the past 24 years, has been officially purchased by local entrepreneurs Toby Ellis and Malvin Mathias, safeguarding the centre's future after it was at risk of permanent closure.
The handover marks the end of an era for founder Graham Dalton, who opened Phoenix Bowl nearly a quarter of a century ago and has played a key role in its legacy and community presence. With the venue facing closure, a rescue mission was put into motion supported in full by The Port of Milford Haven, whose commitment enabled a new 10-year lease and ensured the centre could remain open for the community.

Alongside business partner Malvin Mathias, who brings extensive experience in leisure and hospitality, the pair are committed to not only preserving Phoenix Bowl's legacy but enhancing it for future generations.
