There aren't enough words to describe how much we loved our first visit today. The atmosphere and staff are absolutely lovely and very welcoming. The layout is clear and spacious. The selection of games is insanely generous. The price of sitting at a table is very reasonable but the food and drinks aren't cheap. That said, given all of the perks from eating and drinking in such fantastic surroundings, it is so very much worth it! We will be back. A lot!
I'm not usually a fan of board games as I get bored quite easily but I really enjoyed my visit on a rainy afternoon. We played two games and I actually really enjoyed it. We also shared a pizza and had some lovely ice cream milkshakes. The games were in excellent condition and the venue was tidy and clean. Will be back again soon! We played Lost Cities and Fifth Avenue.
Been wanting to visit a board game cafe for a while with my partner and daughter. Having driven past Ludorati many time we decided to take the plunge and it was worth it, absolutely brilliant place. It was modern, spacious and had a great selection of games. We decided on the game of life and had such a great time. The staff were really nice and helpful and the milkshakes were first class. Great to spend the afternoon as a family.
First visit to the games cafe and loved the whole experience. Fantastic selection of games for all the family. Table service is a bit slow but it was a really busy day with lots of bookings and did not cause an issue. Ordered 3 pizzas for the family to share and as there is only one pizza oven it did take a while but we were advised at the time of booking so no problem. Good selection of hot, cold, alcoholic and milkshake drinks available. We had a large booking and all enjoyed it. Will definitely recommend and go again. Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian pizzas available
Unfortunately didn't have a great experience here. We've been to lots of board game cafés and were really looking forward to this one. Positives: -a great selection of games - so many! -layout was nice -ice cream shakes were great Negatives: - the main negative for us was the service. There was no one around to talk about the games or give us any recommendations, which is common in board game cafes. The one girl we saw wasn't particularly friendly. No one came to collect our empty glasses or plates the whole 2 hours we were there which meant we had them on a small table while trying to play games. In the end we took them back to the counter. No one cleared up any of the dirty tables around us, there were plates and glasses everywhere. - the toilets were disgusting sanitary bins overflowing, water all over the floor, they smelt -the food was very expensive for what it was and the pizzas were not very nice. Not cooked properly. We should have known not to order them seeing as the table next to us had barely eaten any of their pizzas! - games not organised very well - there was no reference system. For people who don't know much about board games, it could definitely be overwhelming. There were just too many games without any direction of which ones to play or any suggestions. Overall, we were disappointed with this board game café and won't be returning.
An eclectic clientele and quietly buzzing atmosphere make this place a pleasure to visit. Very reasonable hire rates for board games more traditional ones are free and great value pizzas a tenner gets you a huge, light, Italian-style base loaded with toppings Staff are very friendly.
As an American, I was visiting a friend in Nottingham, and we had a rainy day to fill. He suggested checking out the cafe, and when we sat down they explained the table rental period caps out at 4 hours. We laughed, there was no way we would be there that long! 6 hours later we left after our third game. The shop is clean and well organized with an open cafe, and the game selection is frankly amazing. From very old titles to new ones, well maintained, alphabetized, and across the spectrum of game times. Too often places that offer games with food have like... the dregs of the owners collection, plus like maybe 10 popular ones Catan, Ticket to Ride, Small World, etc. The bits are mistreated, the boxes hard used, and no variety past whomsoever's taste that set things up. They do charge more for premium games - but if you consider how many pieces so big box games have - to do a checkover to confirm things are not missing is time consuming. I wish this was not 7 hours flight from home! Absolutely go visit.
A very nice and cozy place for gaming! We really enjoyed it very much and definitely will visit again : Vegetarian options: Vegan friendly options
Lovely staff and great range of games! I loved playing Terra most! It was nice and quiet when we went but I imagine it would have been alright even it was busier
Favourite cafe!! Really nice atmosphere, the staff is super nice and the selection of games is huge! Definitely go there to spend quality time with friends/family
