| This pub has to be seen to be believed. It's grand enough when you walk in but looking from the back to the front you're presented with the balcony sprinkled with mannequins and a large stage full of seating. Had a New years meal in here for four and enough beer and spirits to keep us going for a few days. Had 2 roasts, a lasagne and a salmon - great stuff. The beer was superb and the staff were up for a friendly chat. I suspect we saw it in it's best light on a quieter day. We'll certainly return to this one. Most impressed.

| I have to say the Playhouse is a great pub. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and very good value. thedunge - 4 Nov 2011 16:21 |
| I got food poisioning from this pub!! Cheap meals and beer ready to go off - my gut is still making noises and pains from the poor Chicken Jalfrezi curry night special. YUCK - spend a bit more and go somewhere else for meal with drinks huelsberg - 23 Sep 2011 22:37 |
| Visited here for the first time in years after swearing to never go back in to a Spoons and was very impressed this time. Had a pint of Old Growler which was superb and my wife had a Nethergate Ruby Mild which she was very impressed with too. The service was actually OK for a change and the two pints came in at £4.65. Made me review my attitude to this pub and I will probably return. The mannequin's dotted around the seating area are a little bit freaky though! beerbarber - 31 May 2011 07:37 |
| Visited on Monday 28 December. Apart from the standard Spoons beers they had Bath Dark Hare, and a Cotleigh and a couple of Nethergates. One of the more interesting Spoons pubs and as we had arrived at 11.30 it opened before the GBG pubs. GuideDogSaint - 1 Jan 2010 23:22 |
