More than somewhere to play games

Food and Board exists to create social spaces, build communities and reduce loneliness in our local area.”

Board games give people a simple reason to sit down together. They help families spend proper time with each other, give friends something different to do and make it easier for people to meet others with similar interests.

That’s why Food and Board is about more than the games on the shelves.

Our regular clubs, events and meetups bring people together throughout the week. Some visitors come with family or friends. Others arrive on their own and become part of a group here.

We want Food and Board to feel welcoming whether you’ve been playing board games for years or have no idea where to start.

Create social spaces. Build communities. Reduce loneliness.

How It All Started

Food and Board was created by Sarah and Robert after seeing how easily board games could bring people together.

What began as a family interest grew into a local place built around the same idea: giving people more opportunities to meet, play and spend time together.
