About This Pub

Ah, The Picture House – it's one of those reliable Wetherspoons spots that you can always count on for a good time without spending a fortune. I love how they've kept that old cinema feel, with its characterful interior that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time, perfect for a bit of people-watching or just chatting over a drink. The food's a real winner too; from what I've heard and seen, it's piping hot and flavoursome, like a hearty breakfast that fills you up just right, and it's all so affordable that you can't really complain. On the flip side, it does tend to get mobbed at times, which can make it feel a tad overwhelming, and there might be the odd hiccup, such as the coffee machine deciding to take a break, but that's just the way of things in a busy pub. All in all, it's a great go-to for a laid-back evening or a quick bite – honest, unpretentious, and just what you need when you're in the mood for something straightforward and enjoyable.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • It's got that classic Wetherspoons charm in a historic old cinema building, making it a really atmospheric spot for a relaxed catch-up.
  • The food is spot on – hot, tasty, and served quickly, with great value meals that won't break the bank.
  • Plenty of seating in a large venue, so you can usually find a table even when it's busy, and it's open late for those evening outings.
Cons
  • It can get absolutely packed, especially on weekdays or weekends, which might make it a bit of a squeeze to get served.
  • Every now and then, there are little niggles like the coffee machine not working, which can put a dampener on things.
  • It's your typical Wetherspoons, so if you're after something a bit more fancy or unique, it might not quite hit the mark.

Right let's be honest right from the start, this is weatherspoons, it's not a 5-star restaurant. You get what you pay for. So food and a pint for £7 isn't going to get a food review. However....... Was the food hot, YES Was it fast, YES Was it tasty, YES Was there plenty, YES It wasn't what I'd expect from a restaurant, I didn't go "Wow that was amazing" but for a quick pub meal, it was OK. Now here is the big problem with the one I went to, the amount of unemployed that just sit in there all day taking up most of the seats and drinking 1 pint an hour. It's almost like their own personal social club. This has nothing to do with the pub, unfortunately, it's the area it's in. The noise from them shouting to each other cos they can't be bothered to walk to a different table does get on your nerves a bit. However, we found a table at the far end and it was much quieter. Stayed about 2 to 3 hours, and had a fair few pints and food. Would I go back......YES I knew what to expect, and I got what I expected. On a different note, the toilets in Weatherspoons are probably the cleanest toilets of any pub iv been to. They are spotless. A real credit to the staff.

Very good value for money. 4.18 for a traditional breakfast and refill coffee/tea. The place is large and has plenty of tables. There are other meals that are also good value and include a soft or alcoholic drink.
