At Cakes n Ladders we've done our best to absorb the rising costs and be as affordable as we can. We love the community we've grown over the years and hope people appreciate our library of over 900 games. Unfortunately as prices around us rise we must inevitably do the same. So from June we’ll be increasing our hourly rate to $5.00 per person.

Fortunately the maths for half hours still works out so you can pay per -half hour- Game time will be $2.50 per half hour, which means we won’t have to do complicated maths when you finish on a half hour rather than an hour and honestly multiplying things by five is easier than multiplying them by four.

Thank you for your continued patronage and support. We look forward to seeing you all next time you make it in!
