Dice & a Slice — Restaurant in Colchester

Dice & a Slice is a pizza and games restaurant on The Green in Colchester, with classic Margherita pizzas, craft beer, arcade machines, and live board game events. It’s open from early afternoon through late evening, drawing young professionals, students, and families looking for casual socialising. You can find it just off the high street, no need to book ahead unless you’re arriving during peak hours or on a Friday night. The bright, modern design and communal tables make it easy to join in, whether you're meeting friends or coming alone. Check out the evening events for themed game nights; they draw crowds on weekends.

Dice & a Slice opened in 2017 after being reimagined from a former public house. It’s not listed but retains some of the original building’s character, now updated as a casual, accessible space with arcade machines and board game nights. The interior features bright lighting mixed with warm table lamps; shabby-looking game tables sit alongside modern decor and communal seating. Wheelchair access and step-free entry mean it's easy to navigate. Young professionals and students often come here for drinks or dinner before heading home. It’s a place where solo visitors can fit in just as easily as groups.

Dice & a Slice serves Margherita pizza with craft beer on tap, plus coffee during the day and vegan or gluten-free options too. You’ll often find it packed at early evening, especially Friday nights when live board game events draw crowds. The venue hosts themed game nights in autumn and winter; no booking needed for most visits, though large groups should pre-book to avoid delays. With a strong focus on coffee, food safety is prioritised, vegan items are clearly labelled, and toilets, including accessible ones, are available. Go there if you want to eat, play games, or just relax with a drink in an upbeat but welcoming space.
