The Alfresco Update
Howdy folks! It’s been a while since the last update… rest assured I’m still here, alive and well and doing my best to improve all aspects of the café and its day-to-day running! Recent projects have included developing relationships with new distributors, namely Amaroni who are well known for children’s games (HABA, anyone?) and specialise in some pretty niché Kickstarter games, TradeQuest. We’ve made a few minor fixes around the café and we’ve worked hard to build a brand new store-room downstairs. Of course, whilst this has all been happening, we’ve also expanded our games shop to what I’d describe as a pretty good selection!

Orders are processed on the same day and either posted (nationally), delivered contact-free (locally) or are made available for click & collect at the store (currently Wednesday – Sunday, 9:30am – 3:30pm). Our selection is mainly “gateway games” such as Ticket to Ride, Azul, Codenames and Dobble with a few curve-balls like Fun Employed, Patchwork & Scythe thrown in for good measure!…
