Bad Moon Cafe - Central Dr, Hornchurch

A tabletop gamer that hasn't heard of Bad Moon Cafe? Time to change that! Their main tables are aimed at tabletop games such as Warhammer, Star Wars etc, but there is also ample areas for more casual board or card games. There's also a bar and pizza menu! There's plenty of windows allows actual sunlight in, which is apparently somewhat unique for tabletop establishments in London. Bad Moon Cafe also hosts a number of tables at the back for various 3rd party painting and modelling workshops! The small downside is that, at £15 to hire a large gaming table, it's not cheap.

Grest vibe, lovely staff, lots of games, great beer choice. Pizza is quite overpriced for the size but it tasted damn good! So I’m torn ; Can’t wait to come back.

First time visiting and had a blast of a time! a very good selection of board games and the whole atmosphere was very chill and comforting. and not just us, every table around seemed to be having fun and were enjoying their time. it was just a very good evening to spend at this place. we haven't had food this time (will definitely try it out next time! but the snack selection was very varied, from pork scratchings to an enormous selection of chocolates, cookies, chili coated peanuts, anything you can think of. definitely coming back.

Really nice game board cafe would recommend. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There are also Warhammer tables for those who are into that.

Loved this place! I love board games cafes, and this one didn't disappoint. It's not a particularly pretty cafe, but it has lots of games (and some impressive-looking warhammer tables, although I don't play that) and when I went with my sister on a Thursday afternoon/evening it was packed. I didn't think we'd have to book, but it was full and we had to wait for a table. One of the guys working there offered 3 suggestions for 2-player games when I asked. He was very friendly and happy to help, and took the time to find the game boxes for me too, not just name them for me to find. We were pleased that there were vegan options available (and gluten-free). We had the vegan vegetarian pizza which was not bad for vegan cheese. The cocktails aren't bad, but a bit expensive for what you get. 2 for £14 between 7 and 9pm though. We spent around £45, but this is because we ate and had cocktails as well as just playing, it doesn't have to be that expensive. It costs £5pp to play the games, but you can stay as long as you like, which is awesome!
