Grosvenor Casino Great Yarmouth - Gaming and Hospitality

What’s on the Gaming Floor

Our gaming floor brings together live tables and electronic play in one open space, so it feels connected instead of split into corners. Roulette is offered both as a traditional table game and on electronic terminals, which helps if you prefer to play quietly at your own rhythm instead of joining a busy table. Right next to it you will find blackjack, covering the core card play most guests expect in a licensed UK casino.

Slots occupy a solid stretch of the room. You will see regular titles such as Cleopatra and Lucky Lady’s Charm, familiar names if you visit other venues across the UK. We keep the machines near the live tables instead of in a separate room, which keeps the atmosphere moving in one direction rather than breaking it up into zones.

We operate under a casino premises licence issued by Great Yarmouth Borough Council, with Grosvenor Casinos Limited listed as the operator on the Gambling Commission public register. Standard UK licence rules apply across the property, from table limits to age checks.

Doors open daily from 12:00. Closing time sits somewhere between 06:00 and 08:00 depending on the night, which makes us one of the later venues running on the Norfolk seafront. Handy if you prefer to stretch the evening without watching the clock.

Poker - Five Tables, Cash and Tournaments

Poker is not an add-on for us, it is a core part of what happens on site. We run five live tables with both structured tournaments and cash games through the week. For players around East Anglia who want regular live poker, our room tends to come up quite often.

Cash games usually run alongside scheduled events, so you are not tied to a tournament if that is not your thing. That setup works for different habits - some guests chase a series with a fixed structure, others just want to sit down, buy in, and see a few hands without worrying about a knockout stage.

Getting into a game is straightforward:

1. Arrive during opening hours and head over to the poker area.
2. Speak with the floor team about which tables are open and what formats are running.
3. If you want a place in a listed tournament, register at the desk.
4. For cash play, request a seat and agree the buy-in level.
5. Keep valid photo ID handy if asked, as age checks apply on entry.
6. Take your seat and collect chips from the dealer or floor manager.
7. House rules are shown at the table or explained by the dealer if anything needs clarifying.
8. When you are finished, cash out your chips at the designated cashier point.

Tournament times and days do change from time to time, so it is genuinely worth calling us directly on +44 1493 850444 before you travel. Third-party listings can lag behind the real schedule.

Restaurant, Bar and Weekend Events

Our restaurant operates on site and can be booked via OpenTable, listed at Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR30 3JG. You do not need a casino membership to eat here - the dining room is open to anyone, and the menu runs on an a la carte basis. It sits a step above the quick snack service you might expect in a gaming-led venue.

The bar keeps hours in line with the casino, staying open late into the night. You can use it separately from the gaming floor as both sit inside Shadingfield Lodge but operate as shared space. There is no requirement to play in order to have a drink or a meal.

Weekend entertainment is promoted mainly through our Instagram account @grosvenorcasinoyarmouth. That is where we post live acts, themed nights and similar events. It is usually the most accurate place to check what is coming up next, especially if printed or third-party listings have not been updated.

To book a restaurant table you can follow a simple flow:

1. Locate the Grosvenor Casino Great Yarmouth listing on OpenTable or call us on the main number.
2. Select a date and time slot that suits your visit.
3. Confirm how many guests are in your party.
4. Add your contact details so we can send a booking confirmation.
5. On the day, arrive and check in at the restaurant entrance inside Shadingfield Lodge.

One practical note: if you want to eat on a Friday or Saturday before heading to the gaming floor, booking ahead almost always works out better. Walk-ins are more realistic on quieter midweek evenings, but weekend sittings can fill quite quickly.

Finding Us - Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth

Our address is Shadingfield Lodge, Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth, NR30 3JG, right on the seafront, directly opposite Wellington Pier. Once you are on Marine Parade, the building is quite easy to spot.

Shadingfield Lodge is a Grade II listed Victorian property, which gives the casino setting a different feel compared with a newer, purpose-built site. The protected status influences how we lay out and adapt the interior, and it is a detail specific to this location within the Grosvenor network.

There is free parking on or close to Marine Parade, which makes late-night visits by car more straightforward, especially when local public transport has slowed down. The nearest railway station is Great Yarmouth, around 3 miles from the venue.

You can use the postcode NR30 3JG directly in navigation apps or sat nav. If you have any accessibility needs, we recommend calling us in advance on +44 1493 850444. Because of the listed nature of the building, it is better to talk through specific arrangements before you arrive rather than sorting it out at the door.

Grosvenor Casinos Limited - The Operator

Grosvenor Casino Great Yarmouth forms part of the wider Grosvenor Casinos Limited estate rather than operating as a single, stand-alone site. The Gambling Commission public register lists Grosvenor Casinos Limited as the operator of these premises, placing us within a national multi-site structure.

In practice, this means the Great Yarmouth casino follows the same regulatory framework, responsible gaming policies, and brand standards as other Grosvenor locations. If you have spent time in another Grosvenor venue, the approach to age checks, self-exclusion and general compliance will feel familiar here.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council acts as the local licensing authority for this particular site. That sits alongside the national Gambling Commission regulation, so operator, regulator and council each take a role in how the venue is overseen.

Before You Visit

We always recommend checking opening hours, poker schedules and event plans before you set off. Times and formats can move, and calling +44 1493 850444 is the most direct route to confirm table availability, tournament details or a restaurant reservation.

You will need valid photo ID on arrival. Age verification applies across the whole premises - casino floor, bar and restaurant - in line with UK casino rules, and there are no exceptions on that point.

Updates about weekend entertainment, special evenings or short-notice changes go live on @grosvenorcasinoyarmouth on Instagram. Following that account is the most reliable way to keep track of what is planned without depending purely on external listings.

If you are planning to combine dinner with some time at the tables, it usually works better to reserve an earlier dining slot and then head into the gaming area afterwards. That flow tends to fit the way the evening unfolds on site and keeps things more relaxed.
