More Than Just a Café
Noughts & Nibbles is an independent board game café opening in the heart of Bicester. We've built a space for the people who want something different. Somewhere to slow down, sit together, and actually enjoy each other's company.
Date nights, family afternoons, big groups, solo explorers — there's room for all of you. And we can't wait to meet you.
Games for Everyone
Our shelves are stocked with 100s of games, from quick-fire card games to full-blown strategy sessions. Take a seat, pick a game, and we'll look after the rest with table service throughout your visit. Never played before? Our team will find the perfect one for you.
Coffee, Food & Good Company
Proper, barista-style coffee, loose-leaf teas, and a menu built for sharing. And if you'd just like to pop in for a coffee and a slice of cake, you're more than welcome to do exactly that — no games required.
Simple Pricing, No Surprises
Pay for whatever you eat and drink, plus a small table charge of £2.50 per person, per hour for gameplay — which goes straight back into keeping our library growing. Under 5s play for free. Walk-ins are always welcome, but book ahead to guarantee your spot.

Why I Built NnN
I spent years playing board games with friends around kitchen tables and thinking, “why isn't there somewhere like this near us?”. Somewhere with great games, good food, and space to just be together. Bicester didn't have one. So I decided to build it. Noughts & Nibbles isn't a chain and it never will be. It's a place for this community - somewhere to celebrate, catch up, and come back to. The doors open in March, and honestly, I can't wait to welcome you in. Come and be part of it from the start.
