Reviews
"Fantastic venue! One of the cooler Wetherspoons I've been to. The theme was really well built and the vibe was great. Affordable as always. Staff were friendly as well. My only issue was that my table wasn't properly cleaned and had a little stain hence the 4 star. Overall great venue will definitely visit again."
"I visited there for lunch with my wife. It was very nice place. All staffs were very kind. Very comfortable place. I felt I wanted some films in there. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you!"
"The interior is quite impressive, very spacious place, friendly staff will bring you all the food you order at once. The amount and quality is acceptable, just enough to fill the stomach. The burger was good, although BigMac would be probably more delicious and cheaper. Pizza appetizers could be cooked from frozen, but still not bad."
"It was suggested by a lovely forever young couple as their favorite JD Wetherspoon. I am happy to came and tried this location, the pub have excellent service and the vibe the interior is amazing. When you go there I suggest to try the top tier it is the best."
"Very good. A beautiful old cinema. Probably the best Wetherspoons I've seen. People are happy to give the business a hard time but they forget that they employ 30000 people and restore/curate old buildings. The original cinema here was, itself, a partial conversion of the County Hotel, the site of which is marked on the 1876 OS Map and a map of 1846. The present grade B listed building was originally the Caley Picture House, having opened on 1 January 1923 with Game of Life – a silent film. In 1928, the building was enlarged for the new ‘talkies’. Several incarnations since then have included nightclubs and a live music venue – which closed after a farewell party on 31 December 2013. Well worth a visit!"
