How it works
Customers pay to use the games library by time. The rate is £2.50 per person per hour for anyone ordering food or drink from the menu, and £3.50 per person per hour for those who only play. Only food and drink bought in the café may be consumed on the premises.
Food and drink
The café serves speciality coffee and other hot drinks, plus alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Food includes pizzas, burgers, hot dogs, fries, cakes and snacks. The site also notes that the café is air conditioned, which it advertises on hot days.
The shop
A retail counter sells board games and role-playing supplies, including dice, dice mats, card sleeves, play mats and deck boxes, and stocks several trading card games along with Dungeons & Dragons books and maps. Exit games are also listed. The website has separate pages for events, a games library, bookings and gift vouchers.
