drink.

The name came from our first idea, a drinks van, and it stuck.

In the café it means flat whites and lattes, pots of tea, thick hot chocolate, and cold drinks for long summer games.

eat.

Food you can eat with one hand.

Sandwiches and toasties, with veggie and vegan options, cut so you can hold one and still roll the dice. We're keeping anything greasy well away from the cards.

Menu ideas so far. The real menu and prices will land before we open.

how to play drink.

Five steps, and you probably know most of them already.

  1. Walk in.

    No booking needed. Bring whoever you like: a date, the family, the whole group chat, or just yourself.

  2. Grab a table.

    It's £10 an hour for the table, however many of you are sat round it. Stay as long as you like.

  3. Pick a game.

    Browse the shelves, or tell us how many of you there are and how long you've got and we'll suggest something. If nobody knows the rules, we'll talk you through them.

  4. Order at the counter.

    Coffee, tea, cold drinks, sandwiches and toasties. Come back up whenever you need a refill.

  5. Take something home.

    If you fancy it, pick up a make. kit on the way out, or open it at the table while the coffee's still warm.

make.

Something to take home with you.

make. is our little craft corner: small kits you can start at the table with a coffee and finish at home. Like any good game, everything you need comes in the box.

These are early ideas, and the line-up will change before we open. Pick a kit to see what's in it.
