Reviews
Most favourite board game cafe I've visited. Staff are fantastic. It was such a hot day, and the drink I wanted only came in the "hot drinks" section of the menu but the server told me he can make an ice version for me. Tasty tasty drinks, the staff took the time to explain thr games, and picked out some great games for us. Would go again!
This place is 10/10. I love it so much. There is a library of board and card games. You pay £6 for 3 hours of play and you can order the best drinks and food from their cafe. This place has the most beautiful atmosphere and feels really
Inclusive. I can’t wait to go again !
What a fun place if you like board games! We didn’t have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us. Everyone was super friendly. The Goat & Fig sandwich and the Vegan roll were both delightful, it would have been awesome as a toastie. The spicy hot chocolate makes me wish I lived closer. The game library is setup by useful categories which made it easy to browse and make selection. They did have someone available to assist if you wanted guidance. Plus they have board games available to purchase.
Offers a wide variety of board games for a fun-filled afternoon! Cover charge is £7 (£6 if you purchase drinks/food). Do reserve if you would like to go.
Loved Thirsty Meeples. A vast selection of games, lovely atmosphere and fantastic drinks - I recommend the Banana Banshee. The best thing about the place is the absolutely wonderful staff - lovely, welcoming and accommodating.
Will definitely visit again!
Really cool place! You place a reservation in advance for your party for a certain time slot. You have to pay to reserve a spot, per person. Once you’re there for your time slot, you can play as many games as you like, as well as order food and drinks. I ordered their Mexican hot chocolate which had chili pepper in it, and it was DELICIOUS! Their service was excellent. At times there may not have been a staff member directly near to place an order, but it’s a short walk to the counter, and they are very willing to help. Great place for friends and fun. :)
We visited here for my daughter's birthday as we both love playing games. It was a lovely afternoon and I actually won a game! Very welcoming and helpful staff who give you advice on games to look at and how to play. A decent selection of food and drink is also available and a wide range of games. I never come out empty handed!! 🤦 …
This review is for their online shopping, not for the physicial board game cafe which I've been in and while pricey, is not a bad place to hang out and play games.
I ordered a sale item from them online at the beginning of December for pick up in their Bath store - well in time for Christmas. After receiving notification it was ready to collect, I thought I'd ring to double-check. I'm glad I did, as it turns out it had been sent to Oxford location instead.
To the shop assistant's credit, he was obviously working under alot of pressure coming up to Christmas and tried to get the item to the correct location for pick up... and when that didn't work out tried hard to resolve the problem for me.
Unfortunately, after coming off my ninth phone conversation with them (yep - nine) thinking that the item was going to be posted out to me and that everything was sorted, someone else in the company obviously decided it was easier to just go ahead and cancel my order. Great stuff.
It was suggested I emailed head office about it, but I really had lost all will by then. I mean, generally you don't have to have nine phone conversations and then send an email to buy a product online... However turns out I was just annoyed enough to write a review.
Anyway, to be constructive, it sounds to me that they might want to fix their supply/warehouse issues, otherwise their staff are wandering around trying to fix issues that they shouldn't have to.
