Great food, lovely staff and a fun evening

I went here for afternoon tea, just looking for a vegan cafe while travelling. Didn?t know it was also a board games cafe until I got there. A nice surprise, and boy did it look well kitted-out for it! Shelves and shelves of games to play off the shelf while you eat, and a decent amount of games for sale there, too.
The food was excellent. I just had the chicken wrap (a lunch menu item) which was brilliant and refreshing on the hot summer day. They also did a peach iced tea special drink which also really hit the spot. Oh, and a little tub of premade vegan chocolate ice cream, which was delish!
The rest of the menu looked amazing. I might have to sneak back here for dinner before I leave the city in a few days? ?
The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and chill. Clearly a very accepting and friendly place to be. The bathrooms were gender neutral.
Edit: I went back for another lunch, going for the main menu, trying the imitation beef burger, with some chips, a spider, and finishing with the ? deep fried Oreos! Never seen that on a menu, before! It?s exactly what it sounds like. Not bad. ?
The food was amazing, but the service was a bit confusing. I thought it was all table service, but the man who sat me down didn?t come back to take my order, so after waiting a while, I went to order at the bar. Maybe just a weird day or caught them at a bad time. They were otherwise great and let me customise my burger by adding gherkins. (I was also a bit stressed for time that day, so I may have overestimated how long I was waiting for service.)

A delightful boardgame cafe in Norwich. I've only been twice with a 2 year between visits. The staff are friendly and helpful on both occasions. A great place for a rainy day or a fun group session with a selection of lovely hot and cold drinks.

This is a lovely little place with so many board games to choose from! I have only visited once but will definitely come back and look forward to trying out their social night on Wednesdays :)

My wife and I visited here and ONLY had food and drink so this does not speak as to the gaming aspects of the venue. We had made a reservation and I am uncertain if this is needed usually but would expect it likely would be.
We visited here on a trip to Norwich and had pretty high expectations from both the impressive menu and also the reviews. Our expectations were absolutely exceeded by the quality, flavours, service, and presentation of the food. We ordered the lahmacun and buffalo oyster mushroom wings and the tomato and basil salad as sides to the burrito, and a double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.
As you may see from the photographs the presentation was outstanding and the hot food was piping hot. All of the food had incredible flavours and the ingredients were clearly high quality. The buffalo sauce on the oyster mushroom wings was delightfully umami and slightly sour and the batter was light and crispy whilst the mushrooms themselves had enjoyable bite to them. The salad was light and fresh with good balance between salty from the capers and olives with freshness from the tomatoes and basil. The brioche bun was unbelievably fluffy and bouncy and the patties were robust, umami, and smoky with the cheese beautifully melted and an outstanding burger sauce that was very gherkiny. The burrito was enormous and almost overflowing with beautiful smoky refried beans, a gorgeously creamy soured cream and cheese with the rice and plenty of roasted vegetables. The lahmacun was zesty and vibrant and something I have never seen made vegan before. Finally the sweet potato fries were golden and crispy on the outside yet fluffy and gentle inside and everything that was meant to be hot was piping.
The service from the hostess/owner/bar lady was polite yet enthusiastic and welcoming and she passed on our praise to the chef for us. Probably the best ever vegan meal I have had on 8ish years of being vegan alongside Tofu Vegan ?

Absolutely delicious vegan food, loved the oyster mushroom wings and the caesar salad. Delighted to see this 100% vegan place in Norwich

Such a great place to come and spend an evening with friends. They have a wide selection of games and excellent staff who will recommend games for your group (and even teach you how to play if needed). Lovely atmosphere and well worth a visit with friends.

Great range of board games, decent food, but uncomfortable seats and no soft furnishings anywhere so it's really echoey like a canteen which (for me) really takes away from the enjoyment

Second visit reconciled me with the food here! Lots of sold out items the first time due to late delivery. We had the Catan burger with double cooked fries, 'buffalo wings' and a birthday cake milkshake. My cholesterol levels went straight up but it was SO worth it! Reasonably priced, service average; maybe the staff is more suited to the boardgame side than food service but we only had food.

We had our first visit here yesterday, we planned on only staying for an hour but ended up staying 3! There is a great selection of games, and the drinks were lovely, especially the milkshakes! we didn't get to try any food but will do next time. really good value for money.
All the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Great place to drop into for a drink, bite to eat, and also a tabletop game if you want. We popped in on the off chance after a meal elsewhere in Norwich, and whilst waiting for a gig at Norwich Arts Centre. Friendly staff who even opened a retail selling game to let us play (Monopoly Deal). Had a lovely hour here playing cards, and also drinking cocktails. The drinks selection and pricing is very good. We. Were super impressed.
