The Picture House in Angus

Staff are brilliant. We are visiting the area from Manchester and were made to feel very welcome. Dog friendly pub and everyone was very accommodating, waitresses brought our mutt a little bowl of water and everyone was very friendly. Ordered lunch on one occasion and food came quick and was tasty. Great place to watch sport, lots of TVs so you would never be struggling to see if you visited to watch a match.

Visited with 8 of my golfing friends, we had almost all the small platter choices as starters to share, plus the nachos and then 5 different choices of main and even managed a few desserts. Everyone enjoyed everything, food was all hot and service was friendly and efficient as well as really good value!

Not much atmosphere. Sports on all tele's with no sound. Food is typical pub food.. nothing to write home about. Staff friendly and chatty.

A lovely place the staff kayla,kimberley and frazer made our meal and drinks enjoyable lovely staff and the food fantastic

Booked. Table on line, received confirmation e mail, travelled 30 miles only to stand in a queue for 1/2 hour ( only one person serving behind bar) when we did eventually got served we were advised they had no record of our booking and if we wanted food it would be another 1/2 hour wait, total shambles, we left in disgust and will not be back

The staff spectacular the food great nice and friendly atmosphere

This establishment is perfect I would highly recommend this venue. Very friendly staff who will cater to all your needs. Well done girls you deserve it.

Amazing these people love there job and will always give you a friendly service highly recommend to all.

Went into the picture house today for lunch for Mother's day. My my son and I both chose from the roast section and I can honestly say we were not disappointed. Everything about the meal was so lovely, the meat just melted as soon as you went to eat it and the portion was very generous. I will definitely be going back for another roast might make it a monthly treat.

Decent food at a decent price. Experience spoiled by one of the staff's rather hostile attitude. We were in here four times, each time we were treated with hostility by the same member of staff.

Despite the bar being full, there was only 1 bar staff serving drinks and taking food orders, and only 1 waitress delivering food to the tables. Credit to the waitress, despite the long long wait for food and the huge backlog of orders, she still managed a smile and a pleasant outlook.

Service poor limited staff members on shift. Mixed up food order. Food was tasty when it arrived.

Steak pie the best I have found locally. Absolutely delicious every time

Lovely food with nice and co.fortable surroundings...only downside is the walk and steps to the toilet

Always a warm welcome,food quality has increased a great deal in the last year or so. Staff are friendly and the prices are competitive.

Food selection and quality had improved a lot over the years, great selection and very tasty. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Not a fan of the constant sport on the TV, I get it's trying to be a sports bar but when the music goes off and the sport TV is on its a little off putting.

I eat here all the time but was in with family this time so all 3 adults where eating and my neice who is 3 just wanted some ice cream as she wasn't that hungry when I ordered at the bar I was told no she couldn't have ice cream unless she is eaten a meal???....due to the licence??...so we had to order a meal for her?

Out with my 2 daughters and daughter in law for a catch up. Had a meal elsewhere and came here so we could have a coffee, pudding and blether. Took a while for someone to serve me at the bar, and could see at this point there was one lady doing the running around and the man that served me. Was told that we had to buy a meal for anyone under 18. Fair enough, went to the table to choose something. Guy at the bar disappeared and we didn't see him again. Lady served me, she was busy making coffee and there were by this point 3 people behind me. I ordered the tomato pasta and chocolate ice cream for the kid. Wanted 2 of the small Eton mess and hot drink deal from the menu. Told it want available. Managed to order full sized Eton mess and cappuccinos though. Other daughter just wanted a drink. Tried to use blue light card but told it could only be used via the app. Pasta was just boiled pasta with a dollop of sauce on the top. Coffee was just hot milk. Eton mess was edible at best. We didn't have many options on a Sunday afternoon with an 8yr old, but we know now that this won't be one of them in the future. Also it was unfair on the lady that was doing all the running around alone.

Came in today Sunday 21st for Sunday lunch. I had the duo roast and my partner had beef roast, I've got to say it was the best roast dinner i have had in a long time. My partner enjoyed hers too. Compliments to the chef and the service we recieved from the staff was amazing too. Will definately return

We needed somewhere for the whole family to get together for Dad & Mum’s 50th wedding anniversary. We decided on The Picture House because we’ve never been disappointed with the food or service there. Saturday night was no different. The food was superb and all the staff on the night were #simplythebest. I didn’t get everyone’s names but you know who you are - thank you. Special shout out to the kitchen staff who prepared and presented delicious food. Also special thanks to Callum who was in touch before the event to make sure everything was going well. Honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough! They even welcomed our fur baby. #1 #bestinMontrose #can’twaittocomeback

We arrived and decided to place our order on the app, 15 mins later I went to the bar just to check it had gone through. A waitress (who we'd witnessed being quite rude to another table of customers) snapped that she 'was just doing it'. I politely said thank you. Another 5 minutes later and the same waitress slammed our drinks on our table. Customers at a table next to us commented that there was no need for that to have happened. 35 minutes later our food was delivered. Same waitress, who seemed to have 'calmed down' and said 'enjoy your food'. Our food was good but the service was really disappointing both from length of time aspect and the waitress' approach.

Had Christmas dinner here this year. The food was cooked beautifully, the turkey was so juicy and the portions were a good size (put it this way, I went away very full and couldn’t hardly move lol) The service was great, didn’t feel rushed, the staff were all so friendly, chatty and made us all feel welcome and special, so thank you for that ( as it was our first Christmas living in Scotland) The atmosphere was nice and relaxed with good selection of Christmas tunes playing in the background. I will be back again next year. Thank you again for a lovely, welcoming meal.

Cosy atmosphere. Lovely young friendly staff. Good prices for both good food and drink. Super experience xx

It's good for families and singles. Food is Ok, and no complaints. Bit of waiting to place food or drink orders, as only one person behind bar to accept orders, but apart from that, no complaints.

Nice spacious place for a bite to eat.

Popped in for a bite to eat at lunch time. Wendy, the member of staff who served me, was very friendly and helpful. The food (chicken strips with hot sauce and the Katsu Curry) were fantastic. Very tasty. I have eaten here on a few occasions and it never lets me down.

A lovely venue for Christmas catchup with 3 friends. The place was nice and warm which can be unusual these days. Quick service at the bar, nice clean toilets. Our food was piping hot and good size portions. We all had the Balmoral burger, burger with haggis and peppercorn sauce. Our experience was made even more personal, by the friendly assistant manager Callum. He took time to chat with us. Will definitely return.

The best place in Montrose! I had a quick lunch here. The food was delicious, huge portions worth the price. Perfect service during really busy time. I cannot recommend you to come here more 😊

This was absolutely horrible experience we had in this place. We come at 4 pm after pickup kids from school/nursery. My boyfriend should leave offshore at 4.48pm by train, so we wanted to get food for kids as we already had before pick up kids. Lady on the till refuse to serve us. She said we all have to have a meal as its law if we coming to pub with kids. I never ever heard anything like this before. Feel like they are making law for them self as this is not true. We could not get two portions of sausages and chips for kids with drinks for all of as because we had kids with us. They want us to order food fo all or they could not serve us. So we left. I feel this as massive discrimination for family with kids and never come back again. People they dont know the law properly should work there.

Fish and chips was delicious 😋. Shame my voucher for my birthday pud is now out of date as I was ill. Had a lovely lunch with a friend and my husband. Cheers 🥂

Friday night, the heating was off. A pint of lager and a Havana Club and coke cost £13.80. The definition of extortion. It was little wonder the place was entirely vacant at 9.45pm!

Many thanks for opening early to accommodate the Lathallan Pipe Band and Granite City Pipes and Drums and guests during the Remembrance Day parade. We received a warm welcome with delicious bacon and egg rolls and warm drinks ready on arrival. The atmosphere was cosy...

This is such an amazing place to come for classic pub food and amazing place to come for drinks. The staff are amazing and very lovely to talk to

Went for lunch yesterday with friends, good food, service was good, because we weren't getting good signal we couldn't order at table, not problem just went bar ordered what we wanted. My only criticism was the tartare sauce tasted strange, couldn't eat it. Great place for families. Kids portion was really big, we had fish and chips, scampi and chips, lasagna garlic bread, kids tomato pasta, portion cheesy garlic bread and onion rings plus kids meal they get pudding so chocolate icecream.

This place is amazing. Couldn’t ask for better food or service your server ciara was absolutely outstanding. Nothing was to much for her she was so attentive and couldn’t help us enough. Food was the best we’ve had the mixed grill was to die for. Thank you picture house and thank you ciara we will be back for sure.

Omg Callum the manager was undeniably incredible! So welcoming, funny, personable and helpful. Great vibe. Great food, what else could you want!!???¡ but honestly staff were incredible, with Callum the vibrating shining star! If we ever come back to Montrose, this is where we are...

Amazing manager James and his staff couldn't fault it

After an hour of waiting, it turned out that I would not receive my order (I ordered dinner). I received a refund for my order, and the place itself is nice, but I don't recommend coming hungry.

Virgin waiter refusing to serve us fish & chips because we can’t show him physical ids to prove that we are 18 only to eat a fish & chips

Went to Montrose on a Tuesday but seems most of it is closed on Tuesdays. By chance the wife saw some people going down a side street and that was where the picture house is. The staff were great and it's dog friendly the food was hot and reasonably priced and tasty. When we are up that way will eat there again.

Very dissapointed in the picture house . No breakfast menu, No childs size mac and cheese. Wouldn't go back.

Great food, I had the gammon which was fab, a thick cut that wasn't salty with an extra egg!!! My partner had the super grain salad, also excellent. The Peroni was a joy to drink. Service was friendly all in all a good eat out

Got meal deal and katsu curry and lasagne are definitely 2 best options there!!!

Nice bite of lunch. Excellent friendly service. Value for money.

Only popped in for a gin but very friendly bar staff. 😀

The 2 bar staff were rude and looked disinterested and service was very slow put me off going for family meals there now

Excellent service, food and a comfortable relaxing place to be. One area is the bar area with pool table and a gambling machine but nobody in my circle drinks alcohol so I can't pass comment. The eating area has booths as well as tables with...

Kayleigh was the waitress and was very attentive and friendly.

Absolutely the best place in Montrose to eat something delicious! Very nice service, short waiting time and very nice decor. recommend 5 small plates of snacks for £19 (Thursdays). Insanely good!

The staff were so friendly and accommodating, with quick service and great food!

Food was good as was the service, plenty TVs for live sport, 5-10mins walk from train station so yeah this will be where i head to next time im in the town

A spacious pub on 2 levels, quite quiet the night we went. Part of the Greene King Chain. Booking and the menu available on line. Food as expected- wasn't looking for anything fancy. Chicken and leek "pie" was 2 bits of puff pastry with some...

Been here for Christmas dinnetwice and casual meals. Good atmosphere and good food. Love the booths and small tvs. Kayleigh was a great help 🙂

Great service, great place to go for a meal!

We received fantastic service today, despite it being busy. When ordering food for our table of 3 adults and 5 young children we were told it would be a 90 minute wait for food! We don’t know the area well, so decided to wait. After 10 minutes, the barman came to tell us that they had managed to “rejig” things in the kitchen and our food arrived within half an hour. The food was great and clean plates all round! We really appreciated the service we received today. The staff went over and above to meet the needs of the young customers at our table. They were polite, friendly and attentive throughout our visit.

Just a good pub, with good service and nice staff

Good quality food and excellent service

Had a gammon steak was cooked perfectly and eggs also. Daughter had a burger was amazing too was very juicy. Service also vey good will definitely be bk

Went on the 1st of july with 8 other people as it was my mums birthday so wanted to celebrate!! Had an amazing experience, the staff were all very friendly and even gave my mum a birthday card to say happy birthday, she was over...

Best place to eat in Montrose. Can't fault it.

Lunch time visit, I had blue burger, my wife had steak pie. Staff were lovely, service was good, and meal check unobtrusive.

Tried this plqce for first time today al th way down from moray area the food was nicely prep on plate plqce was clean and beautiful inside but i thought was just ypur standard burger ect and found it very expensive and wasnt much banter out the bar man today than what ud expect but was ok x

Fast efficient service, V friendly staff, service with a smile

Lovely big place had sport on the TV with sound of as they had background music on was very nice x

Rude bartender, rude waiter and bad food. Would not recommend or come back.

Spent 20 minutes at the bar whilst 3 staff members tried to process a Groupon.

Rude staff both waiter wise and bar wise, food was not worth the money or wait

Well .. I am from Edinburgh and expect to pay good money for good service. While in Montrose Picture House I paid next to nothing for excellent service. I always use the ordering app so never have to wait at the bar. Whilst in the picture house I did not wait any longer than five minutes from ordering to the order arriviat my table .... Service excellent Staff very friendly... Kayleigh awesome.... Prices unbelievably cheap... The two young idiots sitting at the next table made fun of the staff and thought they were funny making spoof bad reviews... Rhodri Colledge and Mitchell Clark are a pair of spoilt brats who make a hobby out if giving bad reviews. Both of them cleaned their plates and emptied their glasses ... I have visited many Greene King establishments and I can assure you that the picture house is up there with the best of them... Well done Picture House

Not impressed, bartender needs to smoke something and lighten up. Very rude. I’d get better service from a chimpanzee.

Nice chain pub in the town centre of Montrose, a stone's throw away from the railway station. Very welcoming and friendly with a chill atmosphere. Good pint of Tennents!

The most best experience we've ever had we've been here a few times but this was the best and I let them know how good they were x

Kayleigh was great at picture house. Very informative. Very professional. Well done 🙌 thanks for a great experience!

Very busy during the weekends. Staff are super! They work very hard. My kids love the food here. I have coeliac disease and they don’t highlight a gluten free menu and see they have changed things but I have had great chicken salads, baked potatoes,...

Came to try out the Sunday roast dinner.. It was everything I expected!!! I had the duo with extra pigs in blankets and an extra Yorkie.. The service was amazing!... I felt very welcomed and the plate was huge!!! Just what I needed as was...

Brilliant place to eat. The staff are wonderfully friendly and the food is amazing.

This was a lovely, cosy pub with excellent food! Loved the fish and chips. Callum served us as was so helpful - he even gave us tips on good places to visit in the area! This has been a lovely start to our holiday :)

Excellent friendly service from Callum. Went above and beyond to give us tips and recommendations for things to do on our holiday. Couldn't ask for better. Would highly recommend. He also dyed his hair green for Macmillan Cancer research so undoubtedly a top bloke. He...

I normally just walk away from a less than good experience, but yesterday was an interesting experience and worthy of note. It's a large airy sort of place, which I doubt has been decorated since the 80s (or someone has decorated it to look like an 80s pub). It felt shabby, but not in a bad way. There are some nice nooks if you want to get away from the large number of TV screens present, but it's impossible to get away from them completely, or the noise of them. My partner placed a food order and got the drinks in...the coffee I had was obviously from grindings already used. We then waited and waited and eventually I went and queried where the meal had got to. The bar staff were very friendly and earned this establishment those three stars for service. They were also very honest and told me clearly there had been a "mix up" and that if we hadn't had our food in 10 minutes they would give us a refund. The food appeared 15 minutes later and I nearly fell off my seat...a microwaved lasagne (which was barely edible...I finished off what my partner could not), a childs meal, which was OK and a cheese and bacon burger, the like of which I haven't seen in twenty years with a handful of over cooked french fries (not the rosemary and salted chips advertised) and watered down barbeque sauce...it was sub-McDonalds, but I ate it to be polite to my partner (whose idea going here was) and because I seriously doubt anything better was going to be forthcoming. Not much change out of £40 when we could have gone to McDonalds and got the same for £20 or less. In the age of internet reviews I am amazed a place like this still exists. What's really frightening for Montrose is that my partner and others tell me this is the best place in town for a relatively cheap meal and a drink. I'll stick to the chippy in Edzell, thanks.

Fabulous food and great service, thank you!

I was left waiting for my dessert even after it was pre ordered and other people were getting there meals. I came in early because we were going to cinema

We have been going tonthe Picture House for years. It's kid friendly and my Grandson Dylan is particularly fond of it. I was there recently and I must say the whole experience was a pleasure. Beer, cold, delicious and reasonably priced, food excellent, I had a delicious, chicken katsu curry. Portions are generous and food is lovely. The staff are friendly, attentive and always ready for a joke or a bit of banter. Our server, Kayleig could not have been more efficient and friendly. She took time out to speak to 8 year old Dylan too. Thank you all. We will be back.

Was in last night as I am every Monday and get served by Amy, she is very friendly and Talkative and keeps us coming back each time. Couldn’t get better service and chat. Always has a smile and is a pleasure to see 😄

Really disappointed today with the service. We arrived at about 1:30pm, ordered via the app for convenience at 1:40pm and at 2:20pm we asked how much longer until the food would be ready as people who came in AFTER us were getting their food. We...

Decent burger, nice decor. Lacked a bit of atmosphere.

Served by Callum, lovely friendly barman, put up with us ladies embarrassing stories lol. A credit to the establishment

Part of the Greene King chain, this is a lovely place with plenty of seats and a range of sized tables from places for 2 to larger areas. Plenty of TVs we liked the side tables with their own TV!, we both had a Balmoral...

Unfortunately the food here is really bad. The location is good, the staff are helpful and friendly and the restaurant/bar itself is comfortable and nicely decorated but the food? Absolutely rotten. I have eaten here a few times and each time I hope it was...

Good pub food with a nice atmosphere

Quick service and very good customer service from Callum. Unfortunately many of the menu options weren't available, which limited the choices for lunch.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was really tasty, definitely somewhere we'd visit again.

Since moving to Montrose we have made the Picture House our go to place. Had often been to watch the six nations previously, the atmosphere is great during live sport events. The staff are lovely, really fun and chatty. Always get a great laugh and feel welcome. The food can be a bit hit or miss, but when it's good it's good. Always welcoming of feedback if something isn't right. Looking forward to a good few drinks in here as our new local. Free pool on a Friday is a great bonus.

New menu, which seems to have been shortened, so felt like not much to choose from. The young man who served us Callum, is a credit to The Picture House, very polite and so helpful.

Absolutely fab! Food was delicious and Josh and Callum were very attentive and so reasonably priced. Would highly recommend 😊

Good service and good food. Fair prices. Overall good experience was had by all. Our waitress was wonderful.

Typical weatherspoons style pub, decent selection of beers including Innes and Gunn. A good menu of food worth dropping in for lunch. Only minus point for me is the 5 huge TV screens pumping out mindless sky sports channel.

We stopped at the picture house for a late afternoon meal having missed lunch. Josh greeted us at the bar and was super friendly and attentive, he asked how we were and was truly listening! I told him how we had travelled from Australia and...

Friends for lunch was fabulous. Made even better by Callum, he made us feel so welcome. He was so friendly and helpful, made absolutely sure we were having fun. He left on a split shift and we were still there when he came back, so he took time to chat. The food was amazing, I tried things I hadn't eaten before, I will have them again. Thank you Picture House for making our day special

Typical weatherspoons type bar decent pubs food service ok. Happy to return anytime, only downside five huge tv's pumping out mindless sky sports channels.

Second review as I'd give it more than 5 stars. Compliments to the chef her food is delicious. 👌 Portion size is brilliant. Service from Josh is 100% Spot on, so helpful, polite and friendly. Would highly recommend. Price is brilliant. Can't wait till next...

Food was good but felt there was an overload of tvs. Staff were friendly and helpful.
