PUCK
WHERE
Brighton
What it’s like
A café in Brighton with board games on tap and coffee, cake and sausage rolls to fuel the play.
This is a café that doubles as a games room, a spot for coffee and cake where the entertainment is a stack of board games rather than a telly on the wall. From what they list, food runs to sausage rolls, cakes and proper coffee, with plant-based and vegetarian options if that matters to you.
There's no age range given, so it is one to judge on the day rather than book in for a toddler group. A café setup like this tends to suit kids who can sit and play a game rather than ones who need to be climbing something.
It's open from 8am on weekdays and 9am at weekends, closing at 4pm, which makes it a morning or early afternoon plan rather than a full day out. They do mention sometimes staying open later for special events, with things like chilli nachos and desserts on the menu at those pop-ups.
Getting there is easy enough. It's a ten minute walk from Brighton station, or a couple of stops on the bus from Stop E right outside the station if little legs or a pushchair make the walk less appealing.
