Board & Bean

Went here for a work activity and we all enjoyed the 4 hours we spent, having ample options for board games, an alright menu for food options, dessert and drinks. Suitable for small and big groups, as there were 8 of us and easily sat around one of the larger tables. Could recommend here for any fans of board games, or anyone just wanting to try something a little different.

We love board & bean so much that we’ve become members! The atmosphere is just lovely and chilled, I could spend all day here tbh! Excellent selection of games and the staff have really great recommendations! The food is excellent, especially the crunch wraps! Good selection of food and drink too! Bonus points for being dog friendly! Our friends who are avid board game cafe goers and have been to loads visited and said it’s one of the best there is!

I would definitely recommend and will be visiting again I really loved the concept, the layout was really well done as was the atmosphere. The tables were also really well designed and convenient for playing whilst eating/drinking. The staff were all friendly and seemed to be managing well as it was constantly busy for our duration. It is really nice to see a business in Chesterfield that is popular amongst all ages, and I think this is something that the town has been needing! It was also lovely to see people engaging with one another rather than on their phones. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the food as the chips portion was a lot small than expected. The staff made us aware of a slight delay in our food which we were completely fine with since we were preoccupied with playing games anyway. I understand that it's early days though and can see that a lot of hard work has gone into the cafe so far

What a great find! A fantastic concept, with an overwhelming amount of board games to choose from, but most importantly, fantastic coffee! No more than 100m from the two Costa coffee branches across the road in the retail park. Board & Bean is a 'no brainer' when visit Chesterfield. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Today we enjoyed a cocktail and a meal after work with our Daughters. They enjoyed the selection of games whilst we waited for our food. Food was impressive, and great value. Cocktails were a firm 10/10 the guy making them knows his stuff. This place is a hidden gem, even if you are not a big board gamer it’s a very nice place for a meal and drinks, with the added bonus of games to play whilst you wait for your meal. Well worth a visit

Thoroughly recommend! I visited for the first time today along with my partner and friend, and we had a wonderful time. The space was so welcoming and very clean/well organised too. The cocktails were also delicious and such a reasonable price! We will definitely be back soon :)

Love this place! They have lots of different fun boardgames to pick from. Great tables as well. The food and drinks are not too expensive as well, which makes it even better to just chill and have some fun.

Fantastic place. Took my 7 year old Daughter here during the schools hols. We were in there for hours playing games and enjoying the good selection of food & drink. Really pleased to see it busy, hope it stays this way as a great addition to Chesterfield! I think the games were free at the time we were here, but we bought lunch, cakes and drinks however I would happily pay a cover charge / minimum spend charge.
