This is essentially our local, we visit most weekends, usually for some breakfast and and a pint of ale. The food is generally ok, but tends to be very hit and miss. Some days, it's great. Other days, it's sliding towards awful. The service is the same, depending on who is working. There are some lovely lads and lasses there, but conversely, some seem to need an attitude readjustment, you aren't doing us a favour by serving us, it's your job. All round, great value for money and on the whole, good service.

Everything is great here. BUT…. I won’t come back purely because of security cameras in the toilets. Yes it’s true and my children wouldn’t go to the toilet because of this nor did I want them to. I dont know if they’ve been forced to do this by the local authority, but it’s to distasteful for us. Shame, as staff, food and the building is great.

Came in for a quick bit and it took about an 30 minutes for our canned drinks to come despite there being multiple staff idling behind the bar. It then took another 30 minutes for two plates of food to come which were cold and not particularly nice.

Went to this spoons for a quick bite at the weekend. Ordered at the bar but wasn't informed it was a wait time of over 45mins for food. Asked the very busy and harassed waitress how long our food would be. It was 2 pizzas and chicken strips. She went to ask and then came straight out with them. 1 pizza burnt, other undercooked and chicken strips cold. Really disappointing visit and I wouldn't go back to eat.

Well this is one of the good weatherspoons I've visited. I'm totally impressed with the building here been the old cinema. I always mention staff that appear to rise above average so a shout and thank you to Timmy,and Josh,who displayed good bartender skills and politeness.

Sadly the manager tim has run this place into ground isulted my wife when i went to toilet told her to shut up in bar area. When i confunted him for bullying her not for the first time may i add! He banned us like many other customers. Its a pub with a bar where people go to have a good time we will be taking this matter to directors and owners as i and my wife feel insulted we are good regular paying respectful customers. Somthing needs done before he ruins weatherspoons reputation. Great place to socialize good food and drink if you like a library that is very sad dont serve drink if you can take what happens when people drink. From the tall bloke and the red head as he reported us to pub watch all other pubs happy to have us and have made point of saying so they all agree only matter of time before tim ruins place.

It is a Wetherspoons, so it is being judged by those standards. The place itself is great, it reminded me of the dance hall (Jackrabbit Slim's) in Pulp Fiction - it is an old cinema (as one can guess by the name). The bar service was brilliant, the bar staff stopped what they were doing to serve immediately, also they seemed to know who was next to be served. It is not a place i'd been to before, but the clientele seemed friendly. The only downside was the burger bun was burnt, but on the food brightside, the pickle was particularly tasty

The bar manager likes to think he's in London.. I'm clearly not your bruv or your fam! Think about your audience it's not the language people need in an outer London town! Cheap food and drink though the benefits end there. The staff are often rude and inconsiderate, and none seem to be happy at work. You'll wait an age to get served and don't dare to use the app. The look of contempt you will receive is enough to make you leave and never come back. Visit on a Friday or Saturday night and the bouncers are more concerned with where you smoke your cigarette outside than those snorting cocaine in the toilets. I guess those doing cocaine spend more money. It's crazy but sums up the mentality of the place. Ridiculous. Will I return? Probably not. I'd rather the secondhand cigarette smoke than those doing coke in the toilets unfortunately one is easier to control than the other.

Cavernous area, toilets on same level here.Not keen of camera in the toilets but this is probably due to vandalism or drugs problems. Used frequently as I'm here for over two weeks and also using other pubs and there is many. Cod and chips was not available on two occasions, 3rd time, viola! Can't fault on ales selection which is the paramount reason why I use 'spoons. Well done Tim. Exmoor Beast, gem.

This was our 1st time in this weatherspoons and will not returning, 1st of all I ordered a coffee with our meal , one machine wasn't working and the only one working run out of milk , I kindly asked a gentleman collecting the glass to refill it , I was told to wait , the poor oap lady was making a cup of tea and the milk in the jug has also run out so she asked him nicely for more milk he snatched the jug away from her and slammed it on the counter , she waited about 15 minutes for the milk , My hubby ordered the double American burger which came to the table black so burnt it was un edable also the chips seemed to have been warmed up, I had the sirloin steak cooked medium which was full of grizzl and the onion rings were so burnt I couldn't bite into them and the chips were also heated up , I know its a cheap meal but that was unreal disgusting

Went for lunch today. Greeted at bar by a lady who yawned in our face. Food came up without side order of garden peas. Server tried to correct this but came back and said they had been put on my daughter’s plate as they had run out of serving pots. He said the Manager had told him to remove my daughter’s meal to the kitchen so they could take the peas off and put them in a pot. We said this was not acceptable and asked for the Manager. He refused to give us a side order of peas and made the same suggestion as above. My daughter had started eating her meal and did not want it taken away. He would not budge so I pointed out that some people are allergic to peas (they are related to peanuts), so they should not be putting them on any plate of food. The Manager said that we would have told them if my daughter was allergic to peas. I pointed out that her meal did not come with peas and that the Festive menu did not say this meal may contain peas. The peas were for my wife and I. He clearly thought that customers should not complain if their food came wrong. He got aggressive and verbally abused me by calling me ‘arsey’. I told him that if I was being arsey he would know about it, he pulled a face at me, tutted and said ‘really?’ In a sarcastic manner. Realising he was trying to goad me into saying something further I said nothing else. Then out of the blue he announced he would refund my daughter’s meal. Also, for the second week running the Pigs in Blankets were missing but felt too intimidated to point this out. Then the server said our desserts were ready but we were only half way through our meal. He went back to the kitchen and sorted this out. Later only my wife’s dessert arrived so I had to chase for the other two which came 20 minutes later. Our worst restaurant experience ever and also noticed some other people were having problems today. We thought it said Wetherspoons over the door, not Fawlty Towers!

Had a stop over in the Travelodge across the road and was happy to see a Weatherspoons across the road. The picture palace is dark and dingy from the outside, so much so it almost look closed. Then we entered and not many people in there at all, apart from the usual looking suspects you see that live in the spoons full time. This was Sunday (6pm) so normally it's busy period with people eating. Anyway another family were in so we wasn't the only family in there. Ordered food and a few drinks, they came in good time and food was good. It was chilly also so we didn't stay for long. Strange place, no atmosphere at all. 2.5/5 gave 3 stars as 2 would have been a bit harse.

Stuff amazing really kind and helpful, but... I do remember 2 years ago ordering there fish and chips and having 2x Stella's easily.Big fish and plenty of chips. Now you need to drink Stella quite quickly because your fish and chips are half what you got some time ago. If you want to experience proper fish and chips go to Manor Place and order extra large code, massive difference for roughly same price

We were extremely disappointed when we came to this Wetherspoons. We frequently eat at the restaurant in Witham and have always been well served so were looking forward to eating in Braintree. We arrived at about half 8 and ordered starters and drinks on the App. These arrived and were delicious, meanwhile we ordered our main courses on the App. These and more drinks had just arrived and we had not even begun to eat when a member of staff came over and asked my daughter's age. When we informed the staff that the girls were 21 and 15 we were told that we would have to eat up and leave within 15 minutes as children under 18 are not permitted after 9pm. We explained that to eat our whole meals in 15 minutes was not possible and so were given take away boxes. This was disappointing as our meals would then be cold. We offered to move tables to the family area but were told no that we had to leave. We were understandably disgruntled and asked for a refund... something which we feel should have been offered rather than us having to ask! We were told the food could be refunded but not the drinks, rather unfair as there was not enough time for us to drink them. What makes us most cross is that nowhere is this policy of under 18s not being permitted displayed anywhere on the premises, the menu or the app. In contrast, Wetherspoons advertises itself as being family friendly. Also we have many times enjoyed evenings in the Witham Wetherspoons and have never once been challenged about age limits.

Wth I ordered them a load of shots and drinks and some beans to eat as one of them is diabetic and he loves beans. This is outrageous they told him it was silly to his face. Then they brought over different drinks to what I ordered and refused to refund the food!? That’s £15 this manager has stolen from me plus the £36 on the wrong drinks! I will be taking this further until I receive a full refund.

On a Saturday at lunch time, every little independent cafe in town is packed and it's hard to get a seat, yet The Picture Palace is half empty... And it's easy to see why! It used to be an OK place to go and have some cheap food and drinks. Not amazing, but it was fine for a 'Spoons. However, since the pandemic, the place has really taken a nosedive. The food quality has gone down yet the prices have increased. Tables are dirty, often not cleared or cleaned. Was given dirty cutlery that had clearly already been used! No apology from staff when I pointed this out, just a grunt. Can't blame them too much, the whole place would make anyone despondent. Also it absolutely reeks in there. Couldn't wait to leave. Won't be returning!

Probably quicker here to order from the bar rather than the app. It was my only time I have been here though so might be a one off but it was so loud in there people just acting a little childish.

I know it's a wetherspoon and I know it's cheap but the food in this one was really poor. We have eaten in various wetherspoons and have a fairly good gauge on what to expect. We find them generally good for a cheap eat when out and about with a large family. We have on the whole been happy, especially with the veggie stuff, but this was awful. My son's pasta was tiny, like maybe 3 dessert spoons size (he has had it elsewhere and it has been much larger). My veggie sausage and mash was horrendous. The potato had a crispy skin on top and the gravy was like jelly. The peas had tough skin and were chewy! And tbh the building and layout is uninviting and pretty grim. This is the kind of wetherspoons that gives others a bad name.
