Old Picture House in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had food here and it was lovely. The decor was awesome proper old fashioned in keeping with the name but it was clean and fresh. The only down side was the price vrs portion size. Not enough food for that price if you ask me.

Lovely decor, friendly & efficient staff. Wud recommend - menu looks scrummy and reasonably priced so will be going back 😋👌

August bank holifday weekend. We arrived at 1.30.with no meet & greet, had to guess what table we was to use as no one showed us to our table. We was a party of 7, the waitress took our drinks & starter order fairly quickly, the drinks came in a reasonable time. This is where it started to go downhill. The wait for all 3 of our courses was long. No explanation of as to why came forward. No one came & asked how the food was, had to go downstairs to order some bread ourselves. As there seemed to be hardly any staff. We went to leave straight after our desert course. We obtained the bill at the bar downstairs as no one came upstairs to see if we needed anything, & noticed that the 5 slices of bread & butter totalled £8, bit of a rip off considering. The whole bill was just shy of £300, the food was nice, hot & decent portion size. We only had one drink each except one of our party had two. We was at our table for three hrs in total, not through choice, it took that long for the food to arrive We questioned the bread price but was met by the manager with no explanation of why it was so expensive. Questioning the delay in service at the point of paying, we were told that they were short staffed. If we had been warned there would be a delay in service at the outset, it would have been recieved better than being told when being presented with the bill. The manager's attitude was unacceptable when questioned about his management skills, very nonchalant & did not care. "Just pay the bill please" was his response. We live fairly local although got the feeling we were being treated like holiday makers that were only in the area for a short time. Safe to say, we wont be returning & will post this review on other platforms too. I hope future customers have a better experience & the manager receives further training.

Went with my family got there at 1.30 did not get out till half 4/5 they never informed us of being short staffed, waited over hour n half for our mains aswell as waiting along time for our starters, they charged £8 just for 5 slices of bread and butter absolutely disgusted, no apology from manager infact he was very rude never go back here again HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS PLACE

Great value winter break, just a few yards from the beach. Ideal for exploring the Jurasic coast. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff at the old picture house bar.

Had a really nice meal and time at the old picture house, Seaton. Fabulous service, food was great, especially the lemon cheesecake. Also very friendly with our dog, who loved the treats. Highly recommended.

Good food.pity that people had to climb down stairs to get a drink. a,drinks waiter would have increased bar takings.

What a lovely place. Friendly staff, excellent food, try one of their burgers. Tempura prawns 🍤 and squid 🦑 all superb. Thank you lovely lady from Essex for your care, service and smiles. Recommended...

First time customer loved every minute

Very friendly staff and really clean.

This venue is excellent! We went to a dinner and dance last night. Beef bourguignon and vegetable curry, both of which were exceptional. Lovely staff, hard working and friendly. Were lucky to have this venue in Seaton.

Private party for extended and friends. Excellent service throughout very well prepared cold running buffet. Staff attentive and friendly.

Eat downstairs at a table in the bar area. A clean and comfortable modern setting which was serving very good, unpretentious food at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly and efficient and we were made to feel very welcome. I would go back without hesitation.

Sunday lunch today. Beef. Extremely enjoyable. Generous portion size well cooked and hot. Extremely helpful staff Thank you

Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Coffee good. Didn't eat, but food prep area (visible from seating area) looked clean and professional. Clean toilets. Amazing collection of black and white photos of movie stars from the golden age of cinema.

Not the restaurant but the directors suite. Excellent

Sunday lunch - generous portions, everything freshly cooked and delicious. The Old Picture House is just what is says, it’s been lovingly renovated to retain the tradition features yet offers a large, open and welcoming restaurant and bar. The staff are friendly and helpful (Donna the manager is such a star) and the food is excellent. Seaton is, like most seaside towns, a bit faded and jaded bit places like this really help boost its amenities.
