The Picture House in Conwy

Really good, honest, reasonably priced pub grub

Freezing cold night outside, like a fridge inside, ordered a mixed grill, it tasted like they forgot to grill it, had to move to find a spot out of the cloud draught, asked if everything was ok by a waitress that didn't bother to wait for a reply, gets worse and worse, I hate to think what the beer garden will do to the poor management of this place

Lovely small Wetherspoons pub, and all the staff compliment it too! We pop in for breakfast or lunch three or four times during our weeks holiday that we have a couple of times each year, which proves my claim that it’s lovely!……….oh, and it’s beers are well kept too!

A really good looking pub. Very friendly staff and really good value prices

Typical Spoons. Nice old cinema building.

One of the best wetherspoons i have visited and ive been in quite a few.

Standard wetherspoons. Cheap and cheerful, you can't really go wrong. Plenty to choose from. Staff were friendly.

Foods much better than your average spoons and the staff are really good.

Great place , food lovely and arrived fast , super staff , will go again .

Lad busy behind bar bit got me a box because I only could eat half my meal thankyou

Good value for money and food is always great.

Lovely building with lovely staff, ALL team worked very hard and was very polite but one person in particular I felt went above and beyond was a girl called molly, as we Sat on a clear table next to where she cleaning one she offered to give it an extra wipe for our comfort. Which was very nice and always smiling which actually looked an honest one not false, Anyway food was good and quick service, I like the app only small issue bring back custard for deserts

Not even sure why we even thought it was a good idea going in early on a Sunday morning. What were we expecting to find!

Good wetherspoons scran. Beer is kept well.

Ideal for a quick lunch and drink

typical Wetherspoons house nice atmosphere & friendly people. great breakfast.

Lovely old building typical of those used by Wetherspoons. We just called for a coffee which was good and great value as ever. We were walking along the prom and it was an easy diversion to get there. A good stop off we will use again as we often cycle along here

On a tour of the coast we were in need of a well earned coffee break. Colwyn Bay was our stop and we headed off in search of a kettle. Russell Hobbs and Morphy Richards were not options; We couldn't find a spare plug socket on the street. Then, The Picture House appeared on Princes Drive and in we headed, knowing full well that Wetherspoons almost give away their coffee to get you in the joint. Originally The Princess Picture House, the pub hasn't changed that much since those heady days of ice cream and usherettes. We had a couple of hot coffees from the self serve machines, marveled at the utterly dreadful carpet, wandered ten miles from one side of the pub to the other in order to have a wazz and disappeared further into the coast of North Wales.

Nice chilled atmosphere, fod was OK 👍

Our 2nd visit and again didn't disappoint, nice place, nice atmosphere good food and staff would definitely recommend.

Stayed at the travelodge for 2 nights and this place is only a 5 minute walk, I decided to have breakfast there each morning. Lovely breakfast and staff very friendly and accommodating. Inside is really nice one of the best I have been in lots of old features from its days as a cinema and Lovely painting on the wall on the top floor, really recommended trying if staying nearby.

Special ambience and great value for money!

We love Wetherspoons and go regularly but tonight I stood at the bar for a good five minutes being ignored by the girl behind the bar who was putting glasses away. She must have known I was there, I was right in front of her but she completely blanked me. Surely customers should come before putting glasses away!!

Do you like going to a place where the manager ignores tourists and serves locals even when they tell her your first ? Do you want to be treated rudely and be harassed by staff ? Do you want your teenage son to be questioned by staff what he is drinking even though he’s not got a drink Or your other 19 year old daughter with ID being refused an adult drink ?? How about staff refusing to give names when you advise your complaining or refunding you not by your original payment method Quite simply the WORST PLACE EVER -do not go unless you want to be treated like dirt -I dare you Wetherspoons challenge this review But it gets better I bumped into the regional manager who PROMISED he would look at the cctv and get the manager to call me and no one has ever called it shows how much this pub/restaurant cares AVIOD !!

Lovely cosy spoons nice ambiance not over busy

Very busy and popular nice place to go friendly prices very reasonable 👍

Very nice building and was quite quiet at 2pm on Saturday

We had two small plate meals which were huge and great value for money.

Lovely clean pub. Kept some of the original features. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. We had mixed grills in the evening and traditional breakfasts in the morning. Both meals were lovely, hot and value for money. Will definitely return.

Visited Sunday evening. Was busy as the sun was shining and holiday makers like us were out in force . Ordered via the app, unfortunately an ale had just finished but hey ho not the end of the world and the staff advised me of other options . Drinks and food served promptly, staff polite and friendly. As with all Wetherspoons the staff are playing catch up with cleaning tables but the old Picture House is a nice quirky setting.

Burger was served with a hair in it. I requested another burger ate half, and found a piece of paper in it which i had eaten. Not brilliant.

Absolutely beautiful place in an old building with lots of character. Food was great and great service all round.

Nice building, good atmosphere and nice staff. Update: the staff make this place. It really is quaint for a huge building and the people who work here make it personal. As you would expect in a local country pub, not a huge chain. Definitely worth an award for the efforts the team put in.

Lovely old building and the staff were super nice. The cauliflower curry is reliably good vegetarian option. With a pint, barely more than a tenner

Food appalling, zilch atmosphere, TV on but not allowed sound for rugby/football. Service and management terrible to what we were used to in previous yrs

Called in for breakfast. Food was tasty and hot. And service was quick. The place is looking quite dated and tired, but well worth a visit. Like all Wetherspoons you get decent value for money.

Food was pretty much freezing. Filled my drink up all the way with ice it was basically just a glass off ice Duty manager was rude gave me about 20 seconds to talk before just walking off. Overall wouldnt come back

Always busy, but staff always happy to help.

Were very good and quick with getting the food orders to you

Nice restaurant,but don't order scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast. Eggs too much water,which resulted in the toast being soggy,and the eggs were tasteless. In too much of a hurry to complain.

Wetherspoons always good for nice drink and meal great atmosphere

Typical Wetherspoons experience. Good food, good atmosphere and good selection of food. Staff really friendly and fast. Beer has to be the cheapest I have had in years. Friday night was packed out, Saturday was only a little bit lighter.

Good food, a bit untidy, overall good value for money.

Oh my goodness. Never again. It was like a zoo. Tables was not clean Stuff actually stuck to the table. I.e. the menu, so gosh knows how long they been dirty for. I won't be going again. If that's what the outside is like. Then no way am I ordering food from their. Had one pint. It was like water. Tasteless. I would of spent more money in their but, I'm not sitting at dirty tables.

Three of us have breakfast every Thursday here and it never disappoints love it food is excellent and service is fantastic

Actually has signed directors for disabled access, although difficult to navigate with 2 people. A lone wheelchair person would struggle without help.

The food came and it was cold by the time I came to eat it due to 4 big fans in the ceiling and the teabags were all bursting and had to make my drink twice so did my friend .I won't be having breakfast again

We came here for an evening meal on a monday - this seems to be the night most other restaurants close in the area Service was really good, staff all friendly and helpful The food was hot but the portions are very small We both had double burger. Anyone with a big appetite might have needed two. But the price was good and it was tasty

Try the noodles, a really nice change from the norm. Loved it

Lovely staff members, If your looking for a calm time to come for a meal come around 1-4 ish in the afternoon. Affordable prices with the meals.

Beautiful setting for a quiet meal.

Very similar to previous visits. Very minor criticism. Only 4 chicken strips instead of 5 and no coleslaw despite asking twice. Apart from that acceptable

It's a spoons. Easy food great price. Friendly locals. Service great.

Call here often when visiting my brother, and always clean and happy staff 😀

A very bizzy place. Some staff couldn't be bothered with service. Table's not cleared or cleaned. Luckily I always have some wipes with me. The inside looks amazing.

A typical Wetherspoons with atypical staff,you always get a warm welcome!

Why is this place always so cold every time we come in people are always complaining how cold it is they are 100 per cent right please advise

When ordering a dessert of chocolate brownie and ice cream ! To be told we have no ice cream and then get charged full price for just a small chocolate brownie 🤬

Nice and bright pub, staff friendly and helpful

Ordered drinks on the app and had to go and fetch them myself as they were sat on the bar for 20 mins with staff walking past them.

Excellent food, great staff and fast service.

Lovey quaint pub but only one slice of black pudding

Meal was good with their own app you just pick what you want drink and food tap it in to your table number and everything comes to the table great way to order

Me and my partner went in last night, we had been in a while when at 10.30 we're told by the guy behind the bar that he had been told not to serve us anymore as we had often outdated our welcome. As a licencee of a pub I regularly finish work late and pop in for last orders but have always left when I'm asked to. I have never been aggressive or augmentative and just left. It has once been said by the barmaid that I go in and take advantage because there are women on which is also untrue, I go in mind my own business and cause no trouble so.i felt the treatment I have recieved regularly is unfair and that the staff are very rude. They seem happy enough to serve at 12 then kickyou out at five past. I am.more than aware that there is no drinking up time now but I seem to be regularly picked on above anyone else. I have literally only been drinking in the pub a week or so since the last time.it happened.

Excellent pub and food will call again

Quick service, helpful, plenty of seating, not top notch food, but plentiful and ok.

first impression the place was quiet second impression the place was filthy. we had just arrived in colwyn bay and we was tired & hungry not much choice of other eating places open on a sunday night decided to give it a try. 4 of us ordered steak at varying levels of cooking 1 blue 1 medium rare 2 medium. all steaks tough as old nick even with a steak knife. 1 steak was sent back & cod and chips ordered as a replacement this came out over cooked dark brown leaning towaeds black. standards are dropping and tim martin needs to look at training & quality control & perhaps acceptable standard levels before they have a direct influence on the business

Everything you want from a Wetherspoons. Good food and good beer at sensible prices.

It is Wetherspoons cheap and cheerful however the veggie large breakfast was top

Well organised about Covid 19 and friendly staff who are empathetic with people's anxieties

The breakfast came cold my fried egg was hard and I couldn't cut my bacon it was so overcooked

Nice meal especially for the price.

Only had hot drinks very busy Just don't think any weatherspoons are very clean puts me off eating there

Made a random stop here after being told another place had an hour wait. Incredibly happy it occurred or else I wouldn't have wound up here. From the States, first visit. Incredibly friendly staff. Great food and atmosphere. Had our one year old with us. Would highly recommend and come back.

Didn't stop dark and..... Leave it at that

Lovely building quick service, polite staff

Home from home. Stay classy the picture house

Breakfast really poorly cooked,eggs like rubber bacon awful and everything cold

Old picture house, very well presented.

Okay when it's not busy,otherwise you can't get a seat,staff really busy but still a speedy service considering how busy the staff are

Lovely food great atmosphere, friendly staff,

Great food,good beer & staff spot on

This place is amazing, bright, clean, happy staff happy to help too. Sat up on the top balcony jus absorbing the decor, amazing mural, definitely going back soon, was a midweek kids in school visit.

A brilliant ace to visit staff were amazing.

Went here for early morning breakfast on a Sunday morning, not the best but not the worst I've ever had, think they cook everything first then ping it.

Couldn't fault it. Exactly what you want a spoon to be

Beautiful place. Food ok but not brilliant, steak very chewy.

Didn't have food. Beer was excellent AND cheap, very cheap!

As weatherspoons go it's nice, beautiful decor, staff are nice and friendly.

Food was ok, not as good as other spoons. Service was slow, got the meal and drinks came 15 mins later. Had to ask for someone to chase them up. I like that the seats are staggered up different levels.

Had the full English breakfast here and it was pretty standard for a JD

Amazing. Staff were great especially Sarah. She was Friendly polite chatty. Food was great. Highly recommend this cosy place. Thank you.

Hairs in food and was missing the sausages off large mixed grill, we told them we were missing the sausages and they refused to give them to us because they seemed to think we were trying to scam them out of 2 sausages

Another great wetherspoons, lovely big building.

Love a Spoons, and this is one of our faves. It's set over four levels in an old cinema, so there's plenty of room but it doesn't feel big and cavernous. Staff are super friendly and on it, and everything feels clean. Never have to wait long for food, even when it's busy, and the open fire makes it feel cosy when it's cold outside. We usually go at least once a week for breakfast - the muffin and coffee deal is a bargain - and I nip in sometimes for a cheap coffee on my way to work (you can take a reusable cup and use the coffee machine for a fraction of the price of Costa).

It's ok. But £4+ for just chips 😳 Wow

Great service. Friendly staff. Great food. Great value drink.

Ordered the mixed grill, tomato was fine, tasted like a tomato, sadly everything else was dire. Lamb and rump, couldn’t tell the difference. Pork loin could easily have been chicken or turkey leftover from Christmas. Gammon was just a plain old bacon chop, no age no seasoning. Lucky for me the mushroom (1) I saved for the end almost tasted like a mushroom. Definitely not eating here again, I don’t care how much it costs.

Good food, well priced. Really nice interior.

So what I’ll do is il l start it off on a positive before I go onto the work on point there is one Narmada who is very down to earth and treats everyone with respect and I hate the fact that I had to put a complaint in through her because she did nothing wrong and her name is(Sarah she is one of the best workers here she always make sure that everything is perfect for you ) But the only down side to hear was I orderd a mix grill and it was stine cold but after I put the complete in they sorted it out complete it’s 100% worth going here one of the best place and the best staff that work here.
