This is an old art deco cinema - and this is where Wetherspoons come into their own as it has been cleverly turned into a bar, while still looking like a cinema. Good range of cheap beers - plenty of space outside; a ghost, helpful staff - why wouldn't I like it?

First visited on a Monday eve. Lovely interior though a little bit echoey due to previously being a cinema. Maybe a bit of music at a reasonable level would be nice. Drinks very good and reasonably priced - beer and cider fest on. Served in order of arriving at the bar and not need to ask for drinks to be topped up. Toilets OK. Had the three pie deal which OK but nothing spectacular.

Surprisingly very good for a Wetherspoons. Will definitely come again.

Went in on a weekday lunchtime for a pint and a salad. Efficient service, clean tables in a fantastic building. Food and beer OK too.

My second visit to this unusual Weterspoon's and just as impressed as the first time. The bar staff dealt with the Friday night crowds politely and efficiently and the beer was good too.
