As of March 2024, Jono and Jade are the proud new owners of Counter Culture Board Game Cafe & Bar, taking over the great legacy built by previous owners Ahmed & Emma. Jono hails from Palmerston North and Jade from the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire in the UK. They met in 2013 during a theatre production of "Sweeney Todd", where their showmace, turned into a romance. A road trip to the South Island, a skydive and a move back to London later, they found they shared amongst many other similar interests, a love of board games and a love of community. Jono and Jade, frequented Stoke Newington based Board Game Bar, Loading Bar for years and dreamed of being able to open a similar place of their own.
