The PIcturedrome in Northampton

Always a good atmosphere and the food is pretty great! Service is generally good but can depend on who's on duty. Great place for breakfast or Sunday lunch!

The dance atmosphere was electrifying, it was packed , we all had a smashing time . The bar tenders was amazing and friendly, we are planning our next visit.

Drinks far too expensive. No atmosphere, probably to do with the cost of drinks people can't afford to go in there anymore.

Lovely atmosphere for drinks. Lots of events on too

Best burgers in town! Shannon was serving us and she was amazing. Friendly staff and great atmosphere, would definitely come back.

Such a wonderful venue. Whether your going for food or to one of their live events you’re guaranteed to have a good time. A very well run establishment.

Great for a night out. Great music, good food and great atmosphere without making me feel too old!

Love the picturedrome. Always good food and good atmosphere and staff happy to accommodate....plus 40% off.....would definitely go back again 😀

I went to the Honky Tonk country event today and had a fabulous time. With great live singers, line dance tuition and rodeo bull as well as country themed menu it was a winner on all counts x

First time here and will be going back. Food and service was excellent, followed by a great concert in a small and intimate setting.

Went for drinks with family and had a great fun times.

Really cool - split into a bar area and a larger area with a stage for bands etc.

I recently dined at The Picturedrome and was thoroughly impressed. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented—each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. I especially loved the The Big One, double beef burger which was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet modern design that made for a relaxing dining experience. What truly set the evening apart, however, was the exceptional customer service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a wonderful time. Overall, a fantastic experience—I can't wait to return!

Lovely place, good food, friendly staff, great atmosphere.

Looking forward to coming back with Hank and Rodeo Bull Queens for HonkyTonk Sunday 20th October should be a fun night.

Great Sunday roast and drinks selection. Seating options and nice and staff and friendly amd helpful.

Had a great night at the special kind of madness event. First time here for us, atmosphere was great, very friendly, staff were good as was the cask beer. The only downside was that they only have 1 type of cask ale and that ran out before the night ended. we never ate here but probably will next time as there is discount on food if you buy entertainment tickets and the food that we saw going out looked good enough.

We came here with family for a quick dinner and unfortunately two of our burgers were very rare. Our server Paige quickly apologised and had them replaced and her manager came over and apologised also. We all enjoyed our dinner and were so impressed with how you dealt with the situation. Thank you Ladies.

Didn't eat there so no food rating. Disappointed that no zero alcohol wine available

Food was nice then went onto party in night club at the back had great night

Good for shows and bands, seen the Jets play again, higher beer prices.

Always used to come here for the England games. Left here earlier this week and aaked about buying tixkets for the final, the staff said we dont need tickets for the final if we are standing. Its final day tomorrow and I hear a rumour you need tickets and they are all sold out so I rang up about it to which they basically just said to get over it. Disappointing.

The food could be better. Very much "pub grub" There are some amazing live music events there, but you're so the mercy of the sound & light techs. With a great tech, who understands the room, you're in for a wonderful night. But the wrong tech, who can't listen to the room or understand how to light an act, it can ruin the night. We've been twice and experienced both ends of the spectrum.

Boogie night 6th july.. absolutely fantastic will be coming again I shall bring my friends .. great atmosphere lovely people too

Music Event, food and drinks very good

Excellent band the jets were brilliant

What a fantastic time we had! We went on our Leaver's Trip from Northgate School Academy Trust to the Rock and Roll afternoon on Thursday. The live band was amazing, playing different types of music to suit everyone. We enjoyed dancing too! There was also a range of different age groups! The staff were helpful, kind, welcoming and friendly, as was everyone else. The Rock and Roll event has wheelchair access that we required and the staff had set out an area for us to have a drink. Many thanks

Gluten free in great and fish and chips too 😁 also have some good acts on

Went there for the vibe old school R&B event which turned out to be a brilliant night. Music was spot on and the dj was amazing. Bar staff where also quick and very polite. Dear picturedrome I think you should makes these old school r&b events a regular thing judging by how many people attended I can guarantee the event will sell out every single time. Northampton needs these kind of events which gives us mums something to look forward too especially because there isn't much to do in this area

everytime i visit this lovely place i am always amazed! the menu has an amazing amount of variety for everyone! the Gig’s that they put on are also always amazing and have something for everyone each time!! the staff are amazing and very attentive!! owners and managers well done as your staff are definitely shone his customer service should be!!! if you haven’t visited the picturedome then what are you doing?? Gig’s, food, drinks & different events for each individual!! they even include the kids as they do kid events! honestly have a look at the website and definitely go and give these amazing people a visit. even if it’s just for a drink?? but could you then make it a drink and a meal?! you definitely will after seeing and smelling the food coming out to other people!!!! i’m telling you now,.. you won’t regret it

Really nice place. Quiet when I was there in the day today

I just went saturday night there with one friend,i bought 2 BEERS (birra morreti) wich was 12.70 pounds almost 13 pounds it's the most EXPENSIVE BEER wich i drink in my life 😄😄😅😅😅

Went for a Mamma Mia afternoon. Dropped 30 years as I walked through the door. Fab accessibility ♿️ Definitely looking forward to the next event 💃

Cheesy chips were like sticks overcooked hard and brittle

Went to a 70's Disco with a meal beforehand. The disco and atmosphere were very good with a great selection of music played. The meal, however, was not good, overcooked, and, at best average. Disappointing as on a previous visit we had a good eating experience. I can only think that on this last occasion, a Saturday that the kitchen could not cope with the amount of guests eating.

Extremely rude manageress that just removes pints from paying customers. Ginger lady that is extremely disrespectful

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, place was very quite. Disappointed with the food was overcooked.

We went to the Picturedrome for A Night of Country Music with Country Bound. It was a great experience from start to finish. We managed to park over the road at The Racecourse car park, which was free. We decided to have a coffee before we had dinner. The coffee was lovely. Then we had dinner. Husband opted for salmon and couscous, which he said was full of lots of different flavours and absolutely delicious. I have a black and blue burger with Stilton, which was also delicious. It was all good value for money, too. The doors to our event opened at 8 pm. There is limited seating, which is OK for people needing accessible seating but is on high stools. There is a ramp for wheelchairs. The sound was great, as was the lighting. The service was also excellent. Kerry, the manager, was really friendly and made us feel like regular customers, as if she knew us well. The staff serving food and behind the bar were excellent, too. I'm ashamed to say that although I've lived in the county for years, I had never been there. We will definitely be going back. They have some great music events. Check it out!

We had our book club here, great food, and really friendly staff. Kerry made sure we were all fed, watered and looked after. We booked again for next month too. Thanks Kerry! Lucy

Went for the Bowie tribute and had some food before, no complaints with either!

Ive been to the picturedrome a few times now . The staff are amazing and really helpful as I'm in a wheelchair. Nothing is a problem to the them . Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Went for a drink and got to see Damage perform 🎭

This used to be a very good venue. It felt a bit tired when I visited recently with my 9-year old son for food. Also, the food was mediocre at best. The Lamplighter is a better option for food.

It's a nice place but you do need to sort out your heat in that other room it was so hot in there it made me sick twice and yes the staff was so good the young lad and the 2 girls cos was not drunk as I only had has 3 drinks so I'm not sure I'll come back again cos of that nice place tho that room 👍🏿😒😊

Went to a Comedy night. Compere was brilliant and enjoyed 1st comedian the best. The other two were fine and grateful for the entertainment!

Food was great and Bowie show was great I am sure we will be back

Need I say more... Keep up the good work. Our waitress got service absolutely spot on. Right place, right level of engagement.and a great show

This is a lovely place and always really welcoming staff and great seating. We'd go more if they offered nicer veggie sausages with the breakfast menu!

Always a great venue, such variety of performers and a good selection of drinks.

I hadn't been to The Picturedrome in years but met a friend for lunch. Had the mini breakfast which is served until 5pm each day it was lovely will definitely be back.

Recently went there to watch the six nations game between England and Wales, had a booked table everything was really good, would go again.

Went with a friend to the Silent disco!! Absolutely brilliant night.

Lovely afternoon of Glenroy singing. Sunday 11th February 2024. Great choice of music and tracks.

Great place, fantastic venue great food and regular entertainment.

Quiet atmosphere with a nice feel to the upper section. Food was pretty good although there had been a little confusion as to what was on offer. Thursday evenings seem to be a good time to go as there is live music on offer at the back of the establishment

Lovely place to have breakfast - great food and good value

I went to the picturedrome for a meal on Friday evening.The food was outstanding .The customer service was second to none.Kerrie is an asset to the picturedrome.We will be returning very soon.

No chairs at the event, crowded and overpriced drinks £3.89 for orange and lemonade

Booked a table to have a meal before staying to watch a gig. One friend wanted to eat with us but couldn’t stay for the gig. She ordered the vegetarian nachos - when it arrived it had chicken all over (2 others had the same issue). She sent it back and asked for a replacement. This delay meant that she hadn’t quite finished when the gig started. She was told rather rudely to take her food out of the backroom and eat it alone in the front. We explained the delay. She wasn’t staying, simply eating with her friends. This didn’t make the slightest difference. The rudeness was inexcusable. Putting meat on a vegetarian dish is disgraceful. Staff need customer service and training, chefs need to up their game.

I do genuinely understand that occasionally things have to change, suppliers cgange etc but the Picturedrome breakfast used to be AMAZING.... and whilst they're still good, sadly they're not as good. Nothing needed to change, the curly sausage rings and cubed potatoes have gone, and they were what made the breakfasts special and different to other places . I really don't want to make it sound like the breakfast wasn't good, because it was still tasty... but it's lost its wow factor for me personally.

Had a brilliant night out here last Saturday. 4 of us had a meal before we went into the Motown night. We all had the Scotch egg starter, served warm and a soft boiled egg in the middle, it was superb, & we all agreed it was one of the best we’ve ever eaten. Then we all had a steak which just melted in your mouth, again, superb and the chips were lovely too. We will certainly be eating here again. Then went through to the ‘disco’ which was brilliant too, all the Motown music that you could want & it was great to see so many people dancing. Fantastic night out and only £5 pp, great value .

Bootleg blondie was great loved the venue

Very pleasant and professional staff, well maintained building, no horrendous toilets, good range of drinks, fast service, very good venue for 'smaller' music acts, pretty good atmosphere and decent vibe with clientele. Not the absolute best overall that I've been to for such an establishment but not far off.

Just had my 50th birthday party at Picturedrome and what an amazing night . Kerrie and the whole team were fantastic and helped create such brilliant party . Great venue- great food - great team

Great music, good view reasonable priced drinks

Called in for a pre Christmas catch up with old friends we had not seen for a while. Food was great, curry from the specials board went down well! Prompt and friendly service too. We'll be back!

Went here this morning to do a recce of the place and the food before we decide whether to have an evening meal and attend the Motown night. Wow, what a very nice surprise. Firstly, it was 10am & they were busy, which is always a good sign but not too busy that we had to wait any length of time for anything. We found a seat and within a minute a young waitress came to take our order. My husband and I both had the full English breakfast and I had coffee, hubby had a pot of tea ( which he was very impressed about…a pot!!!😀). The breakfast was delicious, absolutely nothing wrong with anything, particularly impressed with the hash browns and the crusty bread, toasted. Also there was a lovely atmosphere in there and a varied mix of ages and groups of people. Went to the bar to pay and had a chat with a guy behind the bar ( owner/ barman/manager?) & he was extremely helpful in explaining what to do about booking for the show etc. Really friendly. So impressed that we Have now booked for a meal and tickets for the Motown night. Very much looking forward to it.

We had our works Christmas party at the Picturedrome. The DJ was great, staff were really friendly and enough of them on so no que's at the bar. Great venue.

The Picturedome is a fine venue with an excellent sound system. We saw U2-2 here last night & they were amazing! They have the sound & the look down to a T. After a rough start when ‘The Edge’ was experiencing some technical probs they soon took off & played a solid set of magical music, yep! They’re that good! It’s no wonder that they’ve received the Thumbs Up from the official U2 camp. Glad that we went out, last night! (Didn't eat so gave the food a medium rating)

Best experience I’ve had for Christmas do. The food was warm and tasty. The service was brilliant. Servers were friendly and patient. Names were called for meals which was a great idea to avoid any confusion. Shout out to Bailey and Ruby in particular but all staff were amazing!

Great place .. but be warned the alcohol free beer sells out fast. Could probably do with more or a selection of others.

Brilliant venue and a great night, have booked our next themed night out here again already.

Went for Christmas dinner. 26 of us and it was soo well organised. Food was very nice and atmosphere was superb. Full dance floor

Excellent food and serving, awesome feel good atmosphere, I really felt excellent, it was a great night out!

Fantastic venue for a fantastic event!! Drinks great value & felt safe!

I took my family for a mid-week evening meal. Three had burnt burgers. The buffalo chicken wings were also burnt. My chicken and broccoli alfredo was basically penned pasta smothered in grated cheese. Not great. I ate three quarters of it before I chewed on something absolutely foul. It was supposed to be chicken but it tasted like rotting mackerel with a dose of insecticide. I had to spit it out. It left a disgusting oily/metallic taste in my mouth for the rest of the evening. I can only assume that insecticide like cockroach killer had got onto the chicken. I complained and the young man (manager?) took the offending food away and offered me a drink, which I declined. The bill came and my 'meal' was on it. I informed the young man that I didn't want to pay for my meal as I had to send some of it back due to there being something disgusting in it. I was surprised that he started arguing that I should pay for the bit I had eaten and he would give me a discount for the sickening portion I had sent back. I pointed out that my whole meal had been ruined and I was concerned that I could be ill due to whatever I had eaten. This culminated in him writing a new bill, minus my food charge. He threw the bill on the counter and walked away in a huff, obviously not happy at my complaint. Appart from that, the waitress was extremely pleasant and very helpful.

Food and service very good. Well worth a visit.

This is a nice venue for events, very practical layout, the staff are friendlyand efficient. However the event I attended - one more time club classics, was not very good as the DJ was rubbish, could not mix and played the same songs 2-3 times within a 3 hour period. Also one of the ladies at the bar tried to charge me double when she had actually poured a single!!

We went to the 90s disco night and had an amazing time, great atmosphere and music, would definitely return!

Love this place. Great venue. Always fun. Would definitely recommend if you want a good night out.

The band was amazing. Smoking area upstairs out the back is a great idea. I can't rate food as I didn't have any. The bar staff are friendly. I would recommend it to everyone!

Watched the Kaiser Monkey Killers here, who were awesome. Great atmosphere, good selection of drinks both bottled and on tap. Only downside was the drinks prices going up as the night went on. Not exclusive to here as a lot of places seem to do this now, but annoying nonetheless.

Lovely staff, decent food. Service has always been great but I think the new manager is taking advantage of his staff by asking them to take orders at the tables. It's a pub serving food and they already get their steps in without adding to their plight.

Came to watch Noasis, great experience. Nice drinks, decent service at the bar too.

The staff were very accomodating

Fantastic breakfast on the weekend, a little more expensive than other places though.

Ate here for Sunday lunch. We had two courses. Food was delicious especially the Sunday lunch. I had roast beef which was of very good quality and cooked perfectly. My husband had roast chicken Good quality veg and portions were of a good size. Sticky toffee pudding was yummy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be returning

I've had a couple of great nights out here, the live music venue is spacious and well laid out, there are good vibes of the stage from almost everywhere.

What a cracking breakfast! The full English was BRILLIANT. Lovely fresh food. The building is gorgeous and it’s so nice to see an old building repurposed in this way. There’s plenty of room for large groups for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great helpful staff and such a positive welcoming atmosphere.

Genuinely great place, the event seating area & stage provided the perfect environment for a relaxing evening. All members of staff were very friendly and helpful. Good parking over the road at the pavilion.

Met up with friends didn't eat but food looked very good.

Really clear the pride the owner operator takes in this place, with excellent and knowledgeable service and a genuine passion for hospitality! A great asset to the area and we need to keep venues like this going! In every sense; music, entertainment, good food and good beer- Highly recommend!

Have always liked the staff at this pub. The foods even better now its changed ownership some yrs ago. Can't get a better music venue back room ....sounds incredible. A pub for all the family of any age welcome

I went here with friends tonight and had an awful night due to door staff and management. Door staff smoking outside not professionally and chucked and chucked entire group out for no reason!!!

Lovely friendly staff , really well run and organised, good looked amazing so eill be booking for Sunday lunch

Few nights out here... choose your like..book It. Enjoy.. Great place 4 the right night

Would fully recommend this place

Having been here more than once now, I went for lunch today for the vegan Falafel and avocado baguette with salad garnish and side of fries. It was delicious and so filling left being full up so much so couldnt do a pudding this time. Staff are all so friendly and it’s a lovely place to eat.

Atmosphere would have been better if the baby's were not there kept it to children who were school age but I did enjoy it was first time there

Had a great night out here watching a band. Beautiful venue, quick service at the bar and a brilliant act. I look forward to our next adventure here.
