The Art Picture House in Bury

11/10/24 We enjoyed both breakfast and lunch here. The food is consistently good value within the chain and of a very reasonable standard. The free coffee refills are most welcome. Service was rather slow but as the place was extremely busy it was only to be expected.

Lovely staff went put off way to get me what I wanted

Nice place food nice & cheap beer which is a godsend for Harrogate prices in other bars 🤣

We had drinks abdl it was lovely x

Great place to eat. Good atmosphere and great service

Excellent choice of real ales at a reasonable price.

Probably the worst pint of Shipyards I've had in a Weatherspoons,usually very nice indeed but this was awful. Very frothy and not smooth???????

Lovelystaff very welcoming place

Good cheap pub with good selection of drinks

Brill ppl work.there pluss managers realy nice place

Typical spoons but a unique atmosphere

First time here service was great

Bargain Spoons fare in an interesting old theatre, beer's usually very good.

Go there every week staff very good and food excellent and reasonable also I like ordering on the app

We didn't eat on this occasion but we are going in a week's time looking forward to it it was packed when we went in the other day

Try the boneless chicken ... Thank me later

Great wetherspoons, plenty of seating and an interesting location.

Reasonable food, good beer but lacking in choice.

Great quick food lovely experience

Dirty forks, cold chips and no coleslaw for the boneless chicken basket (although I was told about the coleslaw when I ordered). All in all quite disappointing!

Quick service, very reasonable price 👍🏻

Very busy Saturday lunchtime. Service was quick and efficient.

Fantastic place, oozing history. Fast service at the bar, fast food delivery, great attentive table service.... well worth the visit.

Had a panini and my daughter had pizza which was good however, one person had steak and couldn't eat it as it was awful however the service to rectify the issue was great and was swift.

Went in for breakfast, only 2 of us and got order wrong. After server checked, and then told us there were items missing it was quickly rectified.

Nice for a few beers and some food

The chef was eating food with his hand and placing food on plates with fingers and was rude to other staff

Love this place it's cheap for meals and drinks

25 minutes for food to come out, fair enough was a bit busy. Garlic bread with cheese was rock solid and cold. Bangers and mash was nice and was warm.

Quick service, food ok can't complain! Spoons can't be beat on price of drinks!

It was market day in Bury so it was very busy. Didn't have food. Service was ok considering the amount of people in. Not too busy when the market is closed. Opposite the the bus station

Great place really tastefully decorated to keep the character. Prices very good.

Find the other customers quite rowdy and off putting. Great food and beer!

had a lovely chicken shawarma wrap with chips was absolutely gorgeous, hot and fresh, with a lovely latte coffee, really enjoyed it

Brilliant building good food and friendly staff

Good Wetherspoons! One downfall - there is a guy working behind the bar slamming glasses onto the trays below pumps with a real grim attitude. Unfortunately he doesn’t know how to work bar very well as there are constant shouts of “who’s next”. Doesn’t a good bar person know exactly who’s next?? A small piece of advice to this guy - if Wetherspoons Heywood is so much better in your opinion, maybe you should go back working there???

I went to this place with my family and certainly exceeded our expectations. This high quality divine place has delighted us with the perfect food. Service was quick and waiters were lovely. Will definitely come back!

Great place to start a night out or a rest from shopping before going home

Just another Witherspoons say no more

The building is looking tired needs a refurb .the food is really good. The toilets need a good refurbishment and painting

We thought that this was a slightly one of the better Wetherspoons. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was very good and well presented. The real ales on offer were wide and varied and with all the special offers with the meals made it an affordable evening.

My favourite lady's behind the bar, always smiling and friendly. They get 5 star. Everyday. The food at times is shocking. Order steak and mash....yes mash, it was shocking .

My daughter and granddaughters work there so very good

Great pub. Used to be a theatre. Nice food for the price

Didn't have food saw a burger n chips pass by us looked overcooked, very busy, but tables dirty seats passed there sell by date worn out , drinks good competivitly priced

Great service. Will be back again

The staff here seem to think that it's ok to serve a pint with a large head So you are not getting a pint but something that is possibly 80% of a pint I've experienced this in this pub a few times and when you ask for a top up the staff act as if you should be grateful for what you were served People need to complain more The staff should top up a pint without being asked

Usual JD pub. Great meeting place as next to bus and tram station. Good value for money.

Loved it. A great place to have a meal

Scammed us got 2 cocktail jugs and it was just ice

Lovely place if you've joined AA.

Staff lovely. Ordereda pannini which wS frash and nice. I eat chips from friends plate instead. I could see food being placed to be collected drying up. Would prefer to eat else where.

Love this place! Such an old, charming building.. we must look after places like this! 😍 Lovely service and great vibe!

Staff was very nice we had table service the food was lovely no complaints from me will be going once a week now 😀

Food is OK, service is good but not a great atmosphere. It's alright for something cheap and cheerful to eat before a night out in Bury.

Went in for dinner with my wife and I couldn't stop staring at this ginger waiter she said her name was charley. She was very kind and helpful and even a bit flirty with me. I had feelings for her that I've not felt towards my wife in a while hope she makes ot far in the company

Had the Madras curry. Highly recommend. Good food excellent drink selection.

Typical wetherspoons brilliant prices and good range of food

Old and dated decor, small portions of food at average to poor quality, staff haven't smiled since before covid, and there's barely any space between tables. A solid 4/10 experience, would recommend to anyone that they try the ten other pubs within a half mile radius. Also, if you're a vegetarian, absolutely don't eat here because you'll get three leaves and half a handful of chips. I hope that the management team sees this review and takes responsibility for the dire state that the pub is in. I hope to one day walk into the Art Picture House and have a memorable experience rather than be disappointed as usual.

Queue at the bar so I tried the app'. Big mistake, I watched people come into the pub and get served whilst I waited. 14 minutes later after the bar was empty for 5 minutes, my drinks arrived, had to send one back as they were on the bar for so long the froth had gone leaving a short measure.

I enjoy a wetherspoons and i like the prices however every member of staff ive interacted with has been so rude. They dont say please or thankyou or ask if you’re ok and when my ‘hot’ dessert arrived freezing cold I politely asked to have it heated up and they acted as if id offended them and snatched it away. They could be polite and put on a smile for customers and as a waitress myself i was shocked how rude they were

manic but friendly. Very reasonable which I suppose is why its so busy..

Dry . Had to look for the second hamburger as they were so thin and just a handful of dry chips. Dreary looking expensive hamburger and chips. Used to be really juicy and enticing with wine for £7.99. now more expensive and less on the plate. Sorry we won't be back as it was always the place to eat

Really big Spoons and a really busy one set in an old cinema The service is better than average, the prices are good however the food was poor

Love this pub, brimming with original decor, good atmosphere and always a great selection of "proper" beer!

Dinner in Bury before a gig at The Wax And Beans. The pub was very busy and we grabbed the last table in the place at 2pm. Considering the pandemonium within, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food arrived in good time and was perfectly OK for the price. Almost worth the dreadful parking offered up nearby.

Food was cold and manager was rude towards customers. Won't go again.

Great food, well presented and fast service. Good value for money in a friendly atmosphere.

Manager was absolutely disgusting. Pushed past a vulnerable adult... Refused to allow me to speak to anyone higher or give me her name. Disgusting.

Been in this spoons before and as it was Saturday tea time it was very busy &noisy.Ordered the meals which was served very promptly considering it was busy.The staff kept the tables clean & tidy whenever they were vacated & the meals were acceptable cheap &cheerful.

Loved it! Downstairs ladies toilets too!

A Nice Wetherspoons in Bury town centre! 👍

Nice place for relaxing or dining

Great food & drink prices, but I was too hungry, so I forgot to take a photo of our food. But for 2 adults and a child, food and drink for £20 is great. Korean chicken burger, pizza, and small brunch.

Visited later on in the evening, and it was pretty crowded. Only down was state of gents toilet. It was awash. No criticism of staff, just the people using it. No fish available at time of visit, but the all day brunch great value

After walking from Rochdale to Bury at 1am we waited 7 hours for this spoons to open, it was the most beautiful breakfast I've ever had. Highly recommend

So me and my mate walked to bury at about midnight due to a decision of "why not" to make the most of the night we felt we had missed during our Manchester trip. And we found out that a spoons was in the area and so we patiently waited for it to open so we could enter and enjoy a exquisite meal. When we did we were greeted with smiles and kind hellos and we ordered our food ( the best meal we had in a long time) I had a large breakfast which filled me up just right and my mate had a traditional breakfast which he devoured and we have never felt so happy and yet so relieved to go to spoons. One of the best spoons ever highly recommended to visit

Service is always good. The food is always hit and miss for me. Cheap and cheerful x

Beautiful building. Grimey glasses, brilliant friendly staff. Food average

It's was ok. Been in better W.Spoons, food I had was not up to much 😕.

The art picture house was fantastic you could see remnants of the old picture house which had been kept which was very nice to see and the drinks prices were very good especially the gin prices

What a place , what can you say, plenty of cheap beer . Fast food service . Great when you are busy and on the go.

Massive pub It is what it is dies the job Lager £4 a pint here £3 in stockton

Very good spoons, beers excellent service good for a spoons. Entrance doors a bit of a struggle to get the wife's wheelchair through.

Convenient town centre location and great prices. Good coffee too.

Good menu. Plenty of options drinks cask ale ect.

Such a shame its always been great. But was so under staffed and the meat was cremated

It's a Spoons, but art-deco grand inside with the original features. You know what you are getting. 17 chips on a blue floral plate to line the stomach and cheap, cheap drinks. Oh, and the obligatory 10 mile uphill trek to the toilet. Popular from opening to closing. Does what it does well. Can't be faulted.

Usual Wetherspoons drink and usual crowd, nothing to write home about

Excellent food nice big mixed grill 😋

Fantastic old building you can imagine what it would of looked like back in the 1920s

it's an OK spoons. you know what to expect and you get the expected range of food, beer, quality and atmosphere.

As per usual l cheap and cheerful. Cheaper than the premier Inn I was staying at

Not been here for a good number of years. Beer was great and cheap. Food was good, burger a little on the small side but can't argue for the price

Great historical building and everything you'd expect from a spoons , good value, racing post visitors and good selection of beers.

Short of menu items - ridiculous busy
