If you're after an enjoyable evening with friends, this spot is worth a visit. They have a fantastic range of drinks, and the limited food menu is sufficient to keep you going throughout the night. Wh... See more

Booked a table for 2 while son and daughter was playing Lorcana. Food was hot and very tasty, great service. Later joined for a Disney Quiz. Well prepared, great night.

Ordered in November as a Xmas gift. They phoned me next day and asked if I'd like a refund because it wouldn't actually be available until April the following year. I said "Nah, let it ride" and lo an... See more

How to track the package?

I found a game that nobody else had, and it was hassle-free to get it. So high points there.

The only downside is that I couldn't work out how to track the package. So when it arrived I was in the bath, and as I received it I was hanging out of my bathrobe. I had to hustle down two flights of stairs. I'm sure the postie's seen worse, but still.

Maybe I'm thick, or maybe there's no way to actually track the package. Who knows? I'd expect a button on the webpage, and that's what Zatu has. Eh, never mind, got the game and it's awesome.

A pain-free purchase!

It was very easy to order the product that I wanted from the Ludoquist website, and staff were very helpful when I arrived to pick it up late in the evening (it's a real bonus to be able to pick up orders while the cafe is still open - a major advantage over the alternatives!).

Above and beyond

I ordered a copy of Betrayal at the house on the hill to collect from their store in Croydon.
I eagerly awaited a pick up email that was never sent to me, due to an admin error.

After the issue was raised, someone from the store got back to me and delivered the item personally.

They handled it very well and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome

Reply from The Ludoquist - Board Game Cafe Bar

Hi Christopher, there seems to have been some me degree of miscommunication on this, for which apologies. Your betrayal at house on the hill is waiting downstairs for you, and has been for some time - do feel free to pick it up today if you're in town.

I'll investigate with colleagues about communication issues and come back to you by Tuesday about what has happened there.

Sorry about this,

Nick

Long dispatch time, but resolved well eventually.

Took over a week to dispatch with no updates or notifications as to why. I called during this time and was given an estimate of dispatch which wasn't then followed up on.
However, after I emailed following 7 days of silence and it was picked up by a manager (I think?) I received a lovely email apologising and had my order within 48 hours. Well packaged and took ownership of the mistake. I really respect that and will be shopping with them again.

A great experience for new and seasoned gamers

A warm, friendly game cafe with welcoming staff and a great selection of modern classic games that are certain to please visitors whether they are looking for a quick 2 player game over a coffee, right up to a mammoth gaming session of that game you could never quite justify buying.

Prompt service

Prompt service, competitive prices and I appreciated beign told when there was a minor hiccup with my order. Seems endearing in the world of corporate anonymity to be told and apologized to over something that they could have simply pretended hadn't happened.
