The Picture House is a very impressed old converted cinema. The Mosaic floored foyer still houses the old circular ticket booth in between left and right entrances that lead to a large split-level interior that descends to the bar counter that runs across the rear wall. This supports standard and premium keg alongside two banks of six hand pumps. During my midweek evening visit these were drawing Salopian’s Darwin’s Origin, Goddard’s Fuggle Dee Dum, Lymestone Brewery’s Lymestone Cowboy, Sharp’s Doom Bar, Ruddles, GK Abbot Ale and Cairngorm’s Wildcat. Looking back across the split-level seating back up towards the entrance from the bar I think gives the best views of the arched roof and décor. This place is certainly worth a look, and it is very evident why Wetherspoons have put the Butler’s Bell up for sale rather than this pub.

A beautiful picked coloured glass frontage. A breath-taking lead-in via the old ticket booth, as the walkway opens out into the old cinema area with magnificent high-ceilinged interior lovingly restored. Spoons have made the most of it here with tiered seating and the bar where the screen used to be, replete with heavy red drape curtain. Inevitably, there are large amounts of jumbo film posters from across the years on the walls. Four genuine guest ales amongst the two banks of pumps. I went for the Redpoint Disco Macaw which was in fine fettle and the best beer of the evening. The barman was a reverse cloth ear, who charged me for my order of a half but actually poured me a pint. Pretty busy at half 11 on a Thursday night and understandably so. A really good Spoons. 8.5
