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 is your place.

Snacks and Ladders has become our favourite new brunch spot, having been several times over the last few weeks. The place has such a fun and friendly vibe, doubtlessly attributed to the amazing staff who actually seem to love working there. We have been served by the warm and enthusiastic Stu and Rosie and a special shout has to go to Munsh who is such a hospitality natural. He always takes the time to chat, remembers little details from previous visits and is just the nicest guy. The menu is well thought out, covering a wide range of taste preferences and dietary requirements. We are dairy free and have never had a problem finding something yummy. Everything we have ordered has been delicious, the mars cookie pie was a real hit with my husband and my little boy can't get enough of the vegan ice cream (many thanks again Munsh). The range of games is brilliant, even for my 3 year old we find plenty to play and can easy spend several hours here. He asks to go there all of the time now! I can't think of another place quite like snacks and ladders, their offering is spot on. Each visit is filled with fun and laughs, what more can you ask when wanting to make the most of quality family time at the end of a long week? Thanks Snacks and Ladders :)

A combination of it being the off-season, the bad weather, and it being a Sunday, virtually everything on the Isle of Wight was closed. Struggling to find anything to do, we saw Snacks and Ladders on IoW tourism website and thought we'd give it a go. We were blown away by how good it is; the menu is interesting, and everything we tried was delicious; the service is great, from very helpful and enthusiastic staff; and the library of games to play is huge, with something to suit everyone's taste. It was so good in fact, we decided to come back the next day. It's a shame we were only over from the mainland, if we lived on the Isle of Wight, I think we'd be in on a weekly basis!

We’ve been to Snacks and Ladders yearly since they first opened. This place gets better and better every time we go- over 800 games to choose from, loads of yummy food and incredibly dog friendly. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and attentive. This is our favourite place to visit on the island, and the one place we visit over and over again when we’re here on holiday. The food, milkshakes and ice cream sundaes are all perfect. The atmosphere is perfect and it’s the best way to spend a few hours on the island

An unexpected little gem that we found while out and about. We entered this board game cafe and were immediately greeted by the very helpful and welcoming Stew, who recommended some great games that we had never even heard of. They have hundreds of games there and many delicious drinks options. We didn't try the food as we had a big breakfast beforehand, but that all looked amazing too. We were also informed that they host very reasonably priced Dungeons and Dragons events, and we were left wishing that we lived close enough to regularly attend some of those! Thank you for looking after us!

Enjoyed the atmosphere even though my party was not playing games. The chicken caeser salad was crisp and fresh and very filling though I asked for no bacon, they were very good about making sure that it was honored. The chicken goujons I ordered were simply because I really love their goujons and wanted them - yummy as always.

Very nice idea and plenty of good games to chose from. Good food and friendly staff. If it’s busy they are a bit overworked. Also, when busy the noise level makes gaming that requires talking such as D&D sessions difficult. It seems S&L is now charging customers £2 per person and hour even if bringing you own game. That’s a bit of a downside.

Great concept, went as the kids had vouchers as a gift. Food was good, can't remember how quick it arrived as we were all busy playing one of the many games that you can choose from. It ended up costing a small fortune so it's not somewhere we will go often which is a shame as it was good family entertainment.

It had been recommended by some friends to come to this place as they had board games and we thought it would be great to meet up have a few coffees teas and hot chocolates with the kids and play some games as well. (There was 7 of us). We decided to get some dirty fries and pick and mix for the kids which we're good but have to say they we're a little slow to get out to us. The selection of games are good. We chose beat the parents which was fun. We stayed for about an hour and a bit ( parking meter ticking ) We got the bill and after assessment i will have to say this place is probably a good place for two. But Becomes way too expensive for family of 4+ :-( will got to pub next time

Hands down the best restaurant/bar on the IOW. The staff are amazing and friendly, helping you pick the perfect board game, choosing food and drinks and just being all round friendly. You pay a flat fare for entering the cafe to play games, you then pay an hourly rate to stay in the cafe, often if the cafe is quiet the staff won't charge you for access to the games! I had a pulled pork burger which was delicious. A must do on the IOW. 100% reccomend.

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! Thanks to Kirsty with her lovely introduction to board game café!

Visited on an 80's themed night. Plenty of guests in the mood for it in various neon outfits, leg warmers and bad wigs which boosted the atmos. Staff were great, attentive and gave excellent service. They utilised a call button service but half the time I felt it really wasn't needed. The range of games is truly expansive, something for everyone, and it does make the night fly by. With the themed night there was an 80's music quiz and music intro's bingo, so effectively the whole establishment playing the same game, it got competitive but in a light hearted way. So if there is another themed night, or indeed, if you're at a loose end any night of the week, it's a way better time than any pub, you will guaranteed leave with a big ol' smile on your face and enjoyed somewhere where everyone left happy. Oh, and the food and cocktails are pretty banging too.

It is an excellent place to spend an evening with friends or a partner. There is a friendly and jovial atmosphere, and the food is wonderful. They serve perhaps the best cocktails in Newport, and I would recommend 'The Happy Little Accident'. There is a large selection of exciting games suitable for players ranging from amateur to expert, and it is nice to know they are properly cleaned between uses. My partner and I attend regularly when we wish to unwind after a long week.

Unfortunately not the best experience, only could compare to another game cafe we had been to elsewhere. Our waitress seemed like she didn’t want to be there (considering it’s a game board cafe we would have liked a more friendly experience) the food was bland and chips weren’t cooked fully, all just taken from the freezer and put in an air fryer, (however air frying was stated on the menu) Would have been much more enjoyable if the staff interacted with us a bit more considering we went during a quiet spell.

This place has a fantastic collection of games, is significantly cheaper for a couple of hours play than any of the board game cafes nearer my home town in the Midlands, and the food was excellent too. Definitely worth a visit, we'll certainly be back the next time we're on Wight.

Awesome place. We went with our twin 3 yr olds. Great food, huge menu, lovely staff, and they even had some toys to amuse the kids while we found some proper games to play with them and ordered our drinks & food.

Really excellent and highly recommended. I've been to a few board game cafes over the last five years or so, and Snacks and Ladders really stands out - I wish they were the template used by all the others! The aesthetic is great, and avoids the "nerd cave" feel of many competitors, the staff are lovely, and the selection of games on offer is *very* good - ranging from simple card games good for a short lunch, all the way up to complex big-box games that a group of friends can enjoy for a whole evening with some drinks - and everything in between. I really appreciated that the kitchen area is visible through a broad opening near the games, meaning you can tell the hygiene standards are excellent, and that there's nothing to hide about the food prep area. The menu is markedly better than competitors i have visited on the mainland, with lots of options for great food, shakes, boba teas, and many adult choices of beverage. I also want to call out how accommodating the menu is to both vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters, with great ranges for each. Really enjoyed our time here, and will look forward to returning again and again. Thanks to S&L for a great afternoon out :)

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would, I came for my birthday today and every single person was so friendly and the food/drinks were lush! I couldn’t recommend this place enough, I didn’t catch our main servers name but he was incredibly lovely, funny and helpful! Amazing customer service from everyone, thankyou for making my day!

Have returned to S&L a number of times since they moved to their new premises, and always leave full and contented. The provision for dogs is excellent, water available, and you can borrow a dog bed. The food is consistently very good, amendments and allergies are managed sensitively and they always get the details spot on. Extensive game selection and well organised, if you’re not sure what to play they make excellent recommendations. Organised events like D&D one shots run a few times a month, and they’re absolutely brilliant. Everything about S&L seems to have been really well thought out, the staff are warm and outgoing, and the whole experience is always a real pleasure.

S&L is always excellent. We’ve been there for meals out, birthday celebrations, D&D one-shots, and just about every other reason you could imagine, and we always have a good time. Very dog friendly, exceptional staff, and consistently great food. Always worth a visit!

Lovely staff. Fun place to eat and or drink. Dog friendly too. Well worth a visit though you do have to pay to play.

They have air conditioning!!! Gained a star from me for that because I'm always hot. Also the Brownies are delicious, thanks Karen!

My partner and I have been coming here every week since Winter in 2022 for their weekly Dungeons and Dragons nights, and we LOVE it! The food is delicious and the service is always excellent! Big shout out to Stu for always so welcoming. I have some specific dietary requirements and there is never an issue with small changes being made to the food. The one time we had an issue with a meal, we were refunded with no questions asked. I'd thoroughly recommend this place to anyone. Even if you're not interested in board games, the food and lovely atmosphere make this place 100% worth a visit.

If you like to spend some quality time with your partner/family or friends and also want to play some indoor games, you can try it. I enjoyed a lot with my family here, they provided good stuff and desired games. If you want to go there make a advance booking to get a comfortable table, however we visited unplanned but found a table.

We visited for afternoon tea which was well presented with nice coffee. I enjoyed the instagrammable aesthetic and the ball pit was great fun. It’s such a shame you’ve had to close because we’d decided we wanted to return for an evening of pizza and cocktails, but still glad to have visited when we had the chance to.
