“UPDATE: Since I wrote the review below, Board Cafe have started doing food, and it is excellent. The sourdough pizzas are among the best we've had anywhere. You're here for the games, and they have a super selection of quality games in very good condition. You want to be guided in how to play new ones, and the staff are genuine enthusiasts and generous in the help they offer. You'll sustain yourself with decent drinks at a good price, and they've got that covered - the coffee is barista quality, and friends who like that sort of thing said they love the milkshakes. There are alcoholic treats, too ... perhaps for customers who aren't as competitive as us! They are building a kitchen upstairs to do food in future, and in the meantime they have been inventive with the cake selection and snack menu. We got the "three bowls for £5" offer this time - sour jelly sweets, chocolate buttons and Doritos, which helps create a party atmosphere. We've been here with a group of 10, twice in a group of 4 and today as a couple, and each time we've had a great experience (see picture of Wingspan, a lovely game based on the idea of building a bird reserve). Book your table in advance - this is a very popular place.”

Had a lovely relaxed Saturday afternoon eating tasty food, discovering new games and drinking a very tasty milkshake! Good vegan options (I'm dairy free so always look out for them!) and friendly staff. Will definitely be back 😊

This was an incredibly fun and entertaining experience. They have every board game you could possibly want from quick casual games to prolonged involved experiences. The food is also good and sold at very reasonable prices. I can wholeheartedly endorse this location and I will be returning in the future.

Great experience learning some new games with the staff speeding up the process by explaining the basic rules to us. Incredibly delicious pizzas - classic options like pepperoni and BBQ chicken and other more unique ones such as Mediterranean and spinach and mushroom. Booking is a must as it's a very popular venue and 3 hours is recommended as the time flies!!

“Yalbury Cottage is a place where excellence, friendliness, and quality come together seamlessly. As someone who loves travelling and exploring new cities and places, I have stayed in numerous accommodations, but none compare to Yalbury Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning to the area. The staff at Yalbury Cottage consistently went out of their way to be friendly and did everything possible to ensure our stay was exceptional. The room exceeded my expectations significantly, with its stunning and unique view. We truly felt as if we were at home, but in a setting with beautiful new scenery. Situated in Dorchester, Yalbury Cottage offers a perfect base to explore the area and nearby cities such as Weymouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, have recommended this place to others, and will continue to do so. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly and well-organised. Additionally, the thoughtful touch of leaving brownies in our room upon arrival exemplifies their dedication to Yalbury Cottage and their commitment to providing each guest with an exceptional experience. I personally can't wait to return to this charming cottage for another uniquely wonderful stay.”

“Lovely experience in Cafe 50 today. Lots of options, many vegetable heavy meals which I like. All day breakfast too which is perfect for late risers like me! Everything beautifully presented. I'd recommend a pinch of salt while preparing the dishes, I had to add quite a lot when eating.”

“Absolutely amazing - We had our wedding at this venue yesterday and it was so lovely. The food was top tier and we are so happy with how the entire day turned out. The entire staff were so precise and delicate, we are truly blessed to have had our wedding here. If anyone is thinking about booking an event here I would definitely give the venue a call or pop down when it's open to have a look around. Very affordable and we will be visiting Monks Yard often to enjoy all that the venue/cafe has to offer! A big thank you to the whole team🎉🎊”

“A beautiful village cafe in the heart of Yetminster. I've enjoyed some amazing vegan food including a gooey vegetable toasty and their wide selection of cakes, like Jaffa cake cake and blueberry and banana. The coffee is lovely, the staff are so welcoming and they put on brilliant activities for kids - we went to a scary Halloween room they'd put on! You don't regret popping in for tea and cake, lunch or one of their awesome events.”

“A place of loveliness. The staff, the food, the cakes, the beverages. If you're going for brunch, be sure to treat yourself to a breakfast cocktail on the brunch menu. And don't skip the emporium shop either. Take a wander around, what I feel like is, a wonderful rainforest of echoing personalities.”
