The Caley Picture House

We visited for lunch on a Wednesday lunchtime in February. It was a welcome stop in the middle of a busy day sightseeing around the city. The food was standard Wetherspoons even though it was more expensive than London prices. However, the pub was unique and we loved the decor the feeling that you were actually in a picture house.

So, before talking about the food: the place is really cool. So to take in the atmosphere, I would totally recommend going there to see it, since it's really unique. The food is okay. I mean, I had worse, but I wouldn't go there just for the food. At least it's not very expensive. Only think, the salad dressing definitely wasn't vegan, although the side salad was declared vegan. So, my conclusion: totally worth a visit to take in the atmosphere, food is decent but not the main reason to go there.

This review focuses on a product. The product is San Miguel. Not served as shown on the drinks menu. The menu shows the beer in a San Miguel branded glass, not seved in a branded glass in this spoons. Result; A very poor pint. Go to spoons The Foot of the Walk and you get San Miguel in a branded glass . Result A very good pint. Draw your own conclusions.

Wetherspoons has a reputation in the UK ranging from great to terrible. I had never been in one until my recent trip to Edinburgh brought me to The Caley Picture House. That Wetherspoons took over an old theater that started out as a silent picture venue in 1923 and later turned into a music venue (where notable acts like Queen, Pink Floyd, and The Smiths had played) really intrigued me! When I told my husband that Wetherspoons is known for their cheap meals and beer, he was all in! The Caley Picture House did not disappoint. What a cool, gorgeous place! We found a table and ordered our meals from their app, and they were delivered a short time later! They have meal deals which include drinks (you pay just a little more to include alcoholic drinks). My husband had their ramen and I had a jacket potato with roasted veggies. I had a delicious cider with mine and my husband had an IPA. We so enjoyed the experience that I took out my phone and ordered ice cream for dessert. We took note of the breakfast menu and came back the next morning to check it out. We both had inexpensive egg and English muffin sandwiches that came with unlimited coffee (a serve yourself espresso machine that included mochas). Really good! The Caley Picture House is fabulous! We told our son he needs to check it out and bring friends. This place is enjoyed by the young and old and everyone in between. We'll be back the next time we are in town!

Table was dirty on arrival. Used the app to order food , all the curry options were unavailable. However burgers and chips were brought quickly as were drinks. Prices are reasonable and it was not too busy.
