The Picture House, Wetherspoon in Blaenau Gwent

Absolutely freezing was told it’s been like it for a few weeks problem with heating, didn’t take my coat off and people were eating with their coats on, come on Weatherspoons it’s October

Food was lovely burger on small side.

Best bar in town Say what you like about spoons but it's great value for money without the pretence.

It is the 2nd time that I see the upper floor tables, all full of empty dishes and glasses from previous customers. When asked to clean the table, only half was cleaned. Food is always great and the prices are very good as well. Staff look like they do not enjoy working there. Maybe next time, I will have a better impression. Went again on 18/07/2022 and I have to say that the service was very good, and staff very professional and polite. The food was great as always and you can't beat their value for money.

Great staff at the bar. 5 stars Worst service ever at kitchenstaff. Extremely little rice with my order, maybe just 3 spoonfuls.. I asked if they could add l a little rice more to make it a like a normal portion. That was not possible. They never heard of the client is king. Here money is king. And that for 40 p of rice. Ridiculously

Meals are delicious and service is excellent.

Meal with my dad and my dad had the “sticky Korean fried chicken bowl” and he said “that is the best meal he’s ever had in a Wetherspoons pub! Top marks to the chef and lady behind the bar (Samantha) who was very kind and really helpful for the visit!

Didn't eat so can't comment, the drink offers were very good

Better Spoons than Merthyr, less random weird people around, lol. Food as expected, some with service.

Typical weather's pools pub. Not so cheap and cheerful now though but still cheaper than most places.

Excellent fast service and good value for you're money 💰

Look, maybe you shouldn't read too much into this one because I stopped there for a quick beer, BUT.... its a bit wiffy in there, not the cleanest and it felt like walking into the pub in American Werewolf in London... everyone stares at the people they aren't familiar with. We sat close to the bar and although the bar staff were tidy enough it felt loud and boisterous(3pm Saturday afternoon), locals run the joint type feel. Yea, walked out and thought I will never go there again. Hell of a Wang in there fp.

Very cheap, food good, clientele often drunk and disorderly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Recently had refurbishment. ● Great spoons as per! Prices great, as per. ● Sometimes do feel like the staff are stretched a little thin at times so clearing tables/plates etc can get neglected. ● Not many smiles, banter. ● Actual service doesn't necessarily suffer and they're definitely doing their best!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Decent wetherspoons! Friendly staff.

Brekky was poggies Sorry my car photo bombed the pic

Been coming here for years. Still do nice grub and the prices are cheap

It was excellent, just walked in off the street, ordered and sat down..was quiet, service was quick and friendly. And as always very reasonable prices.

Great place for a bite to eat and a pint

Excellent wetherspoons. My first time here and will definitely return. I had a breakfast and it was delicious, with all aspects well cooked and hot. The staff were friendly both at the bar and on the floor and I saw them cleaning tables quickly after customers left.

I had breakfast roll and coffee. Very nice.

Had Never been before, but was a nice place. Could have done with more of a nod to the picture house theme. Drinks were cheap as chips (Never had food so can't comment).

Great all-round experience Good Price's for service and food & atmosphere 👌.

A pretty mediocre, mainstream pub, serving passable food. Two things stood out as excellent though: - the friendly and helpful service we received. - the incredibly low prices of both drinks and meals.

Just called in for a short stay & a quiet drink, no complaints I wouldn't hesitate to go there again.

Ideally situated,pleasant staff-wide variety of meals set at reasonable surroundings! Family orientated -spent happy occasions here with my older daughter Kathryn! ☺

Nice, warm, cossy, place to chat an meet friends.

Good food, cheap beer, friendly and quick service, what's not to like?

Went for lunch in The Picture House while visiting the area. The town itself felt a bit tired and in need of investment and this Wetherspoons sat in the middle of it feels much the same. It was reasonably comfortable within and baffling busy. The lure of cheap food and beer is clearly one that is impossible to ignore in Ebbw Vale whatever the standard. Almost all of the sticky tables were taken and we managed to grab one of the last ones in the place. We ordered a couple of chicken wraps with chips and a lemonade or two. The chips were stodgy and tepid while the wraps were nice enough, though hardly what you'd consider to be quality. Even the meal just felt a bit tired. Adequate enough, but could be better. The Picture House is the very definition of average.

Great food and atmosphere to celebrate with friends Highly recommend

Always love a wetherspoons,you know what you're going to get . This is a standard wetherspoons, good service, reasonable prices .

Called in at Sunday lunchtime. Plenty of seats available. Ordered the manager's special at the bar, no queue and got served really quick. Food was served quickly and tasted really good. Every staff member was friendly and helpful.

I can't say a bad word about the place. As a tourist I had a lovely time there, with amazing staff and very friendly and welcoming locals. Food was great. I will definitely try to visit the place one day again :)

Dark, depressing with mess everywhere from unruly teens. The staff were great and polite, I visited with a funeral party.

Good atmosphere, service was ok. Never got enough cheese in the paninis

Nice spoons, pleasant staff, Leffe in a gin and tonic glass was interesting 🤔

Grilled chicken was anaemic, looked more boiled than grilled, with absolutely no grill colouring

The Picture House was very nice

Staff great and very friendly and accommodating. Food typical bar food but ok and reasonable. However the whole place needs an upgrade. Black walls and dreary book cases make it look so old and dark. Redecorate please!! Just been there for the first time in years and not much has changed. They had the whole of lockdown to upgrade in decor inside the pub and all they did was paint the outside. Not enough. I know a lot of people who won't go there because of the dreary decor and other matters which are best kept to oneself. Come on guys!!! Do something!!! Just been back to the pub recently and hallelujah the place is having a makeover!!! The roof is having work done on it as it has been leaking. Apparently the top floor is being turned into bedrooms to be let out and the bar itself is being renovated. I hope they get rid of all the black walls and library which nobody uses and which just collects dust. Cannot wait to see what work is done!!!

Usual great value wetherspoons. Very nice curry at a decent price with a great pint. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Good food, always a welcome place to go to, a pleasant place.

Great warm pub. Cheap food and drinks

It's a Weatherspoons, it's not thier fault Ebbw vale is full of ........ (put your own description here 🤣)

Average everything but then again what we're you expecting.

It is what it is. Trouble with this spoons is that there's the same old people sitting in the same old seats from morning till night.

Good staff pleasant surroundings, all in all Richard and myself had a good time.

I've walked past this dump, not visited it, thankfully.

Ebbw Vale is not what it was .. Deprived area

Go there with my daughters for breakfast or lunch most weeks

A very good spoons one of the best I've been to and I've been to many nation wide half chicken very nice lots of guests ales although the waiters can be miserable slap the food on the table without a word

Went in for lunch. Had the chef special of steak and chips with a drink. Nice food, well cooked but no garnish, would have ordered extras if we knew it was just steak and chips or steak and a baked potato. Good value for money with a good choice of soft or alcoholic drinks as part of the order.

Decent spoons, nice staff and good food.

Great traditional food, doesn't matter which pub you are in if is under this same brand food taste exactly this same. Cheap excellent food, in great climate 👌 bit laud but that is what make this place so special every tourist should visit at least once.

1st time here today,Rugby Union on so the place was reasonably full for a Saturday Afternoon,can't complain about anything,in general, apart from very little choice of Real Ale,will visit again, hopefully give a better reflection, K

Garlic bread was greasy , food took 30 mins to arrive, no checkbacks being done to tables, drinks took 45 mins to arrive , because they missed the order and only made them when I showed a receipt and explained I havent received the drinks yet, i had finished the flood before the drinks had arrived

I only popped in for a pint but was nice 🙂

Very quiet for a Friday evening. The staff were lovely. The food was ok, what you expect from Wetherspoons.

Was in Wales for a birthday weekend caving and had the best spoons breakfast I've ever had. Props to the chef working morning of 30.07.23. Very picturesque pub, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Nice and quiet in the early mornings.

It's a spoons in ebbw vale you know what your getting yourself infor.

Very noisy, drunken women mainly.

I didn't have any food here but what I saw of the meals...they looked lovely. That atmosphere was friendly and the staff pleasant

Spacious, easy parking, the menu looked as expected. A good spoons to visit in the town 💯

Love the place, great for a cheap weekend night out

A great place to grab a quick drink.

Nice place meet friends manager does a good job.

Waited 25 minutes for food to arrive & it was only luke warm

Breakfast only tepid, otherwise clean establishment!

Fast service with a smile nice food and ice cold san miguel 🍺🤗

Clean enough, food is good. Always busy. One of the better Wetherspoons I've been in. Staff are quick to clean up, and are friendly and helpful

Terrible wouldn't give it 1 star, our food came out ice cold, even though though the place was full a staff member came over and offered a refund without us raising any complaint about it!!! Never again the carling was also flat the pop was like water

I like spoons normally cheap and cheerful meals and drinks in decent surroundings But I won't be calling in this one again in a hurry. ..generally looking around leaves alot to be desired...what a dump.

Had a lovely breakfast wrap and refillable latte, all was nice

Very nice food. Super fast service and lovely staff.

Good food for the price and nice atmosphere

Great atmosphere nice friendly staff

Was meeting somebody here mid morning for coffee and maybe something to eat. I arrived and ordered 2 coffee cups and a cola at the bar then looked around for my partner - couldn't see him!! meanwhile, I'm stood at the bar and no less than 2 staff asked me if I was alright or needed anything. I felt that I shouldn't have been stood there - it made me feel awkward! I found my partner eventually and we moved to a table. The pub was very busy for a week day afternoon. We only had the coffee which for the price and refillable was very good.

Typical westherspoons, cheap and cheerful, nothing special but, served the purpose

As usual with Wetherspoons, service and food is pretty good and can’t really complain. The app is super efficient and easy to use, so much easier than going to the bar to order food & drinks. The only issue we had on this visit was the sliced chillies and coriander was missing from the Katsu Grilled Chicken dish, but as soon as we raised the issue with the staff, they brought a separate dish of each, more than what would’ve been on the dish if it had come on the dish originally. Because the problem was resolved without question, I have given 5 stars and will certainly be visiting Wetherspoons again in future.

Took the grandchildren for lunch yesterday had a steak that was on offer. Absolutely beautiful.

Dated and in need of a refurb Drinks and food as you'd expect from a spoons

Plenty working there but never any one to serve you

Fabulous place to enjoy yourself and brilliant staff loved being there with my family

Awesome place, really tasty! Miner’s Benedict the best what I try

Enjoyable experience. Nice food, reasonably priced and plenty of choice on both food and drinks menu.

Manager called Gini massive attitude problem should really be reported to head office cold food dirty table's all in all disgusting place

Nice atmosphere, good food, nice price as always, fab pub.

Won't be attending here again!! The manager that goes by the name Luke !!! Very RUDE and disrespectful. Very argumentative and clearly thought because he was in a managers position that give him the entitlement to come across as above his position . Very disappointing 😞

First time ever being in a wetherspoons but it is absolutely amazing

Why not to like good price for food and drinks and friendly stuff

Clean pub and toilets, prompt service, friendly staff.

Fast and efficient service and really good prices!

Busy well liked, WiFi did work. Yet staff were more efficient. Food was good. A Friday afternoon yet only a quick drop in.

Getting very dated needs a refresh

Dreadful experience, ice in my Jacket potato, complained,to management with no success, got threatened by a kinder garden security person,with no experience,asked to leave never returning to such a shambles

Good food at reasonably prices served by good friendly staff

Some of the beers just not right. Otherwise perfectly good

Happy and friendly staff and great food 😋

Really nice building and great food as usual

Good standard every day food and drink 🍸well worth calling in 🥰

Great value and tasty food, service very efficient and friendly. Will be visiting again.
