Fedel Palmero
Easily one of my favourite places to hang out or eat at. Makes you feel like Aragorn, sitting in the corner of a medieval tavern 😝. Not only is the food excellent, the activities they host during the week are a lot of fun and a great way to introduce yourself into some of the different table top options. Gaming area is also very affordable and a great wind down. Dungeon & Flagons is alot of fun! Thanks to Jay for his work DM-ing

Our group of 11 were well accommodated for during the MSI watch party experience. The team were very kind to let me add another friend to our (maxxed out) watch party table. The event was smooth and trivia host Robbie was engaging and kept the energy up throughout the night between games - we loved that! Our group had a lot of fun (+ our team won), and we will definitely be keen to return for a future event :) Table service was appreciated and the team did a great job ushering and directing traffic in and out of the designated zones.

Dragons and flagons was amazing! leash is an absolute legend. Made our experience easy to follow as beginners but not as though we were absolute noobs and didn’t know anything. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!

Booked a D&D one shot at the Dungeons and Flagons event with a group of friends - it was fantastic! Our assigned GM Rish was incredible, so friendly and patient and an amazing story teller. Made us all feel welcome from the moment we sat down. He even gave great recommendations to help us pick out another board game after our session was over. Really exceeded my expectations and was a great way for our forever-DM friend to join a session as a player.
Emily Reynolds
My friends and I had a great Dungeons and Flagons session led by our DM Natasha. She was fantastic and made everything really fun and easy to get into, especially since we were all complete beginners. The whole experience was way more entertaining than we expected and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend 😊
