A great venue. When you go in you imagine that it will be quite small, but it's huge. Through the bar - good beer selection, and good food from a different counter, through a long was to the back to find the box office, and then finally through to the theatre space...
It's a lovely square bowl theatre in what must have been a cellar, with tiered seating on two sides. It was perfect for comedy - we saw Sarah Keyworth - but it would also be great for theatre and music.

I can't thank the staff ( bar , door , acts , chefs ect) for the level of service and professionalism! Friendly, happy and couldn't do enough to accommodate myself and my best friend (visiting from afar) to make sure we had a fantastic night that we will remember fondly forever! A very gushing but deservedly so post . Meeting Annie on the door was my highlight what a fantastic lady. We are sat here working out when we can return.... and making sure it's when Crayola the Queen is next in town xxx

Really cool small theatre. Great food and drinks available in the bar/restaurant (which is worth visiting anyway). The theatre is really well set up and a great space for some interesting plays

Love this gem of a place. The food is lovely. Definitely recommend the Jake. The drinks are reasonably priced. The jewel in the crown are the performances. Fabulous entertainment will keep me coming back.

Theatre was fab, very cute! Food upstairs is brilliant and very filling! My only complaint of the whole experience was that the seats in the theatre were mega uncomfortable! Not sure they can do much but maybe some more foam would help! Is a great place though and can't wait for the next visit!xx

Quirky venue with fab live music and a well stocked bar downstairs and an intimate but fully equipped theatre upstairs. The food looked amazing too! A must visit place for theatergoers.
I visited on a Friday night and was surprised at the amount of free roadside parking on the same street as the theatre (free after 4:30pm).
All staff were incredibly friendly, smiley and helpful. Seating in the bar area is quite squashed, but there is also a room for larger parties aside from the main seating area. Outside terrace available for smokers. Toilets were surprisingly clean and nicely decorated.
The theatre seems to show fringe-style performances, many of which seem to be improvised. I saw Reservoir Cats (Tarrantino / Lloyd-Webber Mash-up) - it was absolutely brilliant... really recommend these performance which seem to be staged annually around Christmas.

I've been here twice over the last two years and it has been a great experience. This is mostly due to the performances but it is a nice cosy theatre and good shows make a great use of the space provided. You can take drinks in which is also a plus.

The theatre is very small and is contained within a quaint rambling old building which has a large ground floor area food and drinks and a lovely outdoor rooftop area for the same. It is situated near to the town centre and car parking is available about 5 minutes walk away at the Cabot Circus car park, which is not too pricey. The lack of room obviously restricts the type of shows that can be put on but there are clearly a number of eclectic performers that can make maximum use of the facilities.

We saw 'Noisy Holiday' with our grandchildren. It's a one man show starring Ed Patrick aka Kid Carpet. He displayed a wonderful array of talents ranging from short catchy tunes to different voices for each of the four small plastic animal toys that went on holiday with him! I was impressed with the way the backing videos and music flowed seamlessly with the acting despite the many ad libs that Ed included. Ed has a very wacky humour which the kids loved and caused them to laugh out loud on numerous occasions. The small scenery which was displayed behind the toys was excellently designed. These scenes were projected by video camera onto a screen in the corner.

The show is difficult to describe as it so unusual. We all enjoyed it though.

This venue is well worth a visit.

We found the Wardrobe Theatre very difficult to find but once there it's a cracking little venue. Very intimate which was good as we had gone to see Martin Carthy so it suited very well. Didn't have time to get a drink or try the food but were told it's good. I'm now on their mailing list and next time we'll go earlier and get some supper first.

A great little theatre. Intimate feel because audience is close to the stage. Seen excellent shows created and performed by local artists. Also, went to a Rozi Plain concert at the theatre; her performance and the whole evening was very enjoyable.
