Dice & a Slice in Colchester

We had a day out to the Dice and a Slice, we took the family which included the very small people. Place was tidy and well presented and the person working till gave us an overview of where we would find everything.The board game selection is massive, although the ones suitable for small people as you would perhaps expect is far smaller. Kids enjoyed the ones we played, and thankfully all contents were there. Table we was on was plenty big enough to spread out as well.We had some warm drinks fairly early on, mostly hot chocolates (orange one was very nice!) Lunch was perhaps a little more of a mixed bag, jacket potato's were good but some of the other meals didn't quite hit the mark unfortunately. Perhaps need a few more kid friendly options on the menu to. Kids weren't keen on the milkshakes, and to be fair I tried one and was a bit disappointed too.We had a good time, and a perfect option if you don't want to be stuck inside at home / weather not great outside...!

So so so thrilled that Colchester has it's very own boardgames cafe! A lovely neat place with friendly staff and yummy snacks and drinks. Excellent variety of board and card games available to play at the café and/or to buy! Love it! They know their stuff, keeping up to date with the dice tower news, latest releases, etc. Highly recommended.

A great place to chill, get some good food and play the day away with a large library of games of all complexity and for all ages.Friendly staff and a cool bright atmosphere. Spend a couple of hours or the whole day you won't regret going.

Always a pleasant way to spend a few hours. As a massive board game fan, it's a delight browsing the shelves (though having kids in tow does limit my options for actually playing!) and be able to "try before you buy". The selection of new games for sale is extensive.Most of the games were in good nick but some were a bit tired - staff were made aware so hopefully can be fixed up. Operation, for example, had only one body part and no batteries.The cafe serves food quickly and at reasonable prices, though I do wonder if the menu could do with some slightly more 'interesting' vegan options (e.g. options with vegan cheese - the nachos looked gorgeous, if only I ate dairy).

Lovely spacious cafe that is really accessible. Staff are very friendly and there is a huge selection of games. Cakes are good and so is the lunch menu

Lovely atmosphere, great choice of games to play and loved the food. One of our favourite places to be.

More than just boardgames.Has a really good and extensive menu with plenty on offer for anyone especially if you have dietary requirements.Plus have a great selection of cakes and decent coffee all at reasonable prices.You can also pay by the hour or for the day to play the extensive range of games they have we had children aged 2, 5 and 6 who found something to play.Would definitely go back again

This place is so much fun! Good coffee and food and so many game options!! Going to be spending a lot of time here.

Excellent selection of games, welcoming staff and a reasonable rate for playing. Good cafe food, selection of hot drinks and hand-made cakes. Games are also available to purchase as well. Very comfortable and relaxing place to spend an afternoon.

Love this place! Excellent selection of games both to play in the café & to buy to take home. You can pay to play the games for an hour or the whole day. Best to choose your game before you pay if you're only playing for an hour though. The drinks, cakes & food are all excellent. Lovely choice. Good variety including gluten free options and all very reasonably priced. The staff are all very friendly & helpful and there is a lovely atmosphere as a result.
