Snacks and Ladders Board Game Café & Eatery — Restaurant in England

We visited IOW for my boyfriends birthday and we visited on a Tuesday. As soon as we walked in we were greeted very warmly by the guys they were so welcoming. Everything was explained to us and they really could not have been more helpful. I'm gutted to say I didn't catch all of their names but the guys who we saw that day really made our experience of visiting a games cafe for the first time one we will never forget. There was one particular guy, aaron (I hope I have spelled this correctly!) And my goodness he was so helpful with how to play games and always checking if we were OK. He is a complete asset to this business! We stayed there pretty much all day. The range of games they have is incredible, the place itself is kept so clean. The cocktails are amazing! Particularly the ticket to ride (Woo Woo) we also ate here, we had the Cuban baguette which my bf had and he said it was one of the nicest baguettes he's ever had. I had the philly steak on wedges, absolutely delicious. We will be visiting the IOW again in the near future and we will 100% be returning. If you are looking for a very relaxed place to sit and forget about the world outside whilst playing some amazing boardgames, and have some of the friendliest people cater to you this...

I went to S&L for my 25th birthday dinner, we'd never been and thought we'd give it a try as their menu looked amazing. We had our 7 month old with us who was incredibly grumpy and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about how a crying baby would go down in a small public space. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman by the name of munsh (huge apologies if I've not used the correct spelling there) who seated us at our table and gave us an explanation of how the cafe works with board games etc. He was so friendly and made us feel so welcome. He went the extra mile chatting with our daughter, who absolutely adored him, shouting after him when he left and giving him some big, dribbly grins. The cafe even went as far as to give me a chocolate 'happy birthday' plate which I thought was a lovely gesture. I cannot begin to get across how good the food and drinks were. I am gluten free and the pizza I had was hands down the best pizza I have ever had and my husband feels the same about his meal also. It is evident this place really cares about their customer experience and especially as new parents it was so lovely that our daughter got to experience so much fun too. We would recommend this cafe to anyone and look forward to...

One of my most favourite destinations on the isle of wight! The board game cafe, snacks and ladders (love the pun of the name), is an extremely atmospheric, friendly and welcoming café in the isle of the wight.

They have a selection of easily 100+ board games to choose from, your favourites such as buckaroo, guess who, monopoly and many many more!

The cafe is extremely healthy, in that they use air fryers to cook their food which I find is healthier and tastes better. The service is very fast and they have a button on each table which calls the waiter/waitress.

The cleanliness of the cafe is 10/10, no mess that I can find, the board games are in as pristine condition as they can be (they are used daily so expect ware and tear).

They have tables for 2 people, 4 people and up to 8 people, so group play is perfectly fine herez and I would imagine that you can bring your own games for DND or your own speciality.

They do also have just a small restaurant part at the front if you fancy just a bit of cake, burger, chips or a cup of tea.

Overall, I would highly recommend this place, i have been here 3 times in a week and will come back again!
