Dice A Slice - Colchester

We visited as a family group of ten. There is a good selection of games and the children enjoyed playing. However the service and food is very poor. We waited an hour for food and when it arrived, it was low quality and tasteless. Some members of the group went without food for a further 15 minutes. Staff were unsure if the vegan food we ordered was actually vegan. Two of the party have gluten intolerances and were given the wrong food, resulting in both being very unwell overnight. Some staff were clearly stressed because of how busy it was, and were quite rude at times for this reason. There appeared to be no manager on duty. We felt sorry for the staff, because they were clearly run off their feet and not supported.

We visited Dice and a Slice for a Saturday afternoon as we have visited board game cafes elsewhere and were looking for something to extend date night to all day. We phoned shortly after opening to book a table and this was quickly sorted (although you can walk in if there’s availability). We were greeted by friendly staff who were pleasant throughout our visit. We were seated and bought some drinks and began our session. They have a great library of games to play and we found some new 2 player games which we loved and will be buying. The food and drink range is great and reasonably priced, the nachos were so good and you definitely get your moneys worth! Great board game cafe and we will definitely return when I am next in Colchester. A big bonus is that the playing fee covers all day, not a time bound session like other cafes meaning we didn’t feel pressured or rushed when trying to learn new games meaning we enjoyed them more.

I arranged to meet some friends in Castle Park, Colchester today to do a play reading . Unfortunately the great British Sumner let us down and it rained! Undeterred, we headed into town and chanced upon Dice and a Slice. There were 7 of us altogether. We had a very warm and friendly welcome from Drew, Chloe and Phoebe who could not have been more helpful, they catered for our every need! Four hours later after drinking, eating and reading our play we left having had a great time. In fact, we enjoyed the experience so much, we decided not to risk Castle Park next week but have booked a table at Dice and a Slice instead! Can't wait!!!

My trip to this establishment was rather delightful, the food was tasty and filling. The food was swiftly made and i ate it even quicker. The seating was luxurious to put it simply, the couch was extremely comfortable and cosy. service was impeccable and a sense of unity came from the kitchen. with everybody working efficiently shows great leadership. furthermore as i look around this hub of excitement, families and friends enjoying the cafe. My summary of this cafeteria is my rating! definitely recommend for all colchester go-ers.

Lovely little cafe and food was good. Young lady called Alannah really helped me with seating and accessibility to the tables. Would recommend a visit
