I love this cinema, it shows interesting films and is comfortable. As a member it is also much cheaper than the multiplexes in town. The best thing though is the bar which is also a decent place to just go in for a coffee during the day. The food is not bad either. More

I love the Picture House, don't get me wrong, but it has to get 3 stars because of the total lottery with service. The films are great, the food and drinks are great, but so often I have gone into the cafe to be told that for no apparent reason, food is not being served, or there is a 45... More

Good selection of interesting films, comfortable seating, nice bar area to site before and after films. The 'grown up' film experience you don't get in a multiplex. More

Definitely cinema as it should be. Get away from the US blockbusters and popcorn munching hordes and see some truly beautiful films whilst you sip your merlot from a proper glass. More

Comfortable and uncrowded; good wines, coffees etc. You can take drinks into the screen. Cosy,safe, "club" atmosphere; especially good if you are on your own. Good range of films, and times during the day. More
