I've given four stars because it's cheap!nHad a coffee which was fine and some toast with marmalade, also good.nnRecommended you sit on the stage to look back at the bar and upper tier.
Cheap and cheerful. Plenty of choice and plenty of different options. Choose the food first because some options come with a drink as part of the deal, so no point in buying another drink as well. We like the cardboard cutout figures watching the diners from the balcony level!
Another Wetherspoon in an interesting setting. A former theatre and cinema in the 1950s by the looks of the posters on the wall. Tables and booths of varying sizes laid out over different levels make it easy to find a nook that suits. We found a booth up on the stage area. Ordered on the app as it works well and is so convenient. Tried the festive pizza chicken, stuffing, brie, bacon and Hot and Spicy chicken half chicken, naga chilli sauce, chips, coleslaw. Better than expected! Chicken half was a very good sizeand juicy. The Naga chilli sauce was separate - good flavour, hot but not crazy hot as we thought it might be. Pizza toppings worked well and dough was good.
We love a spoons and this one did not disappoint. Beautiful building and the theme of the playhouse is carried out throughout the pub.nWe just popped in for tea and toast while visiting the local area we would happily drop in again when visiting Colchester
The Playhouse pub located at the heart of Colchester Town is housed in a former theatre, retaining many of its original features. NOT the best Wetherspoons I have visited. Could improve on keeping the tables clean.nnIt has a unique and stunning interior, which includes a stage area and gallery seating. Reasonable prices, and a wide selection of beers. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy. Overall, it is an okay types place to hang out with friends for a meal or drink.
