Board Game Cafe Hastings

Really lovely atmosphere. The staff are all so friendly and more than happy to help you choose a game or explain the rules. Nice food as well, including lots of vegan options. Also very reasonably priced

We live five minutes up the road and wanted something to do and we had noticed this cafe and we went in and had the best time! The atmosphere was really nice, warm and welcoming! Me and my friend don’t play board games often so we asked Gary, the owner, for some help. He gave us lots of options and explained the games to us so that we could understand it and have lots of fun. The game selection is very varied and has all sorts of games for different levels of experience. We will definitely be going back and I totally recommend!

spending a few hours here was one of the highlights of my trip to Hastings! lovely welcoming atmosphere, especially as someone who was by myself - the manager/owner Gary and the cafe's regulars were really friendly and I had such a good time playing a social deduction game with them. definitely visit if you're in Hastings!

Really nice place, with super friendly staff, and they were even willing to throw together some food for us even after the kitchen was closed (by high exception, I presume). The playlist was also amazing, took me right back to my teens with some classic punk/rock vibes.

We spent a few fantastic hours at this cozy board game café and had an absolutely wonderful time. The selection of games was impressive, and the owner was incredibly kind - taking the time to explain the rules since we weren't very familiar with the game. We also had dinner, and the food was great, with vegan options as well. You can really tell that the owner has put his heart into this place. The cherry on top? I accidentally left my hat behind, and after closing hours, he went out of his way to drive to the next town just to return it to me. That level of kindness and dedication is rare. Wishing him all the best!

This place deserves no less than 5 ⭐ on all 3 categories. Tonight was my first visit after the wife had been with her friends a load of times ( yes I was jealous) and me having the children at home! Well tonight we went as a family! This place is awesome! The vibe is super cozy and fun,perfect for hanging out with friends and family. The food blew me away, not just because it was tasty but because it was unbelievably cheap for what you get. Not to mention it’s all made fresh to order! Total win in my eyes especially for today’s prices when you dine out. And the staff? They’re awesome—super friendly, happy to help you pick a game, and even explain the rules if you’re new. Also the memory… he’s good, remembering my wife’s order which again is a win! The games… wow. The selection is huge! They’ve got everything from quick party games to those epic strategy ones that take hours. It’s impossible to get bored here. And if it can keep a pre teen of a device with no arguing it’s a definite win! Honestly, it’s one of those spots you can easily lose track of time in, our time flew by Great atmosphere, amazing value, and endless fun, it’s on our list as a new family night destination!

A lovely little board game cafe with friendly staff, food & drinks and a vast selection of games to choose from. I was even taught how to play Dice Throne with my friend when we visited in early July Absolutely 100% worth the visit and I'll definitely be coming back again at some point!

Lovely place that I found while investigating Hastings Old Town. Friendly & quiet. Food was lovely too.
