First time at the theatre and dispite other comments we found the seats to be comfortable & roomy - we were in the stalls so cannot comment on the circle. We went to see The Counterfeit Sixties show & I must say it was brilliant. The front of house staff were very helpful so no complaints there. We had something to eat in the in house restaurant, what a disappointment. They had only 22 people in, all arriving around 6:00pm. Food started to arrive about 6:40 to the first table & that was sent back, one was to cold & the other had the wrong chips, should have been skinny chips & it came out with chunky chips. The menu has 11 main dishes of which 3 are vegetarian so 8 for the meat eaters, 4 of these were not available so only half the meat options were on. We went for the burger topped with cheese, well the bun had just been defrosted so was stone cold, no hint of toasting it, the cheese was placed on the top not put under a grill & melted & the BBQ sauce was just shop bought.
So my tip is go to the theatre & enjoy whatever you see but find a nice place to eat before hand & avoid the in house restaurant.

I booked tickets as a spur of the moment thing on Thursday evening and got two of the very last few tickets to see "THE REAL THING AND ODYSSEY" the first part of the show with ODYSSEY was fantastic with all our favourite hits and songs to sing and dance along to. But then came the main act "THE REAL THING" They were far from the real thing. I'll be perfectly honest with you and say ODYSSEY were "the real thing" last night. I'm not going to mention what I thought of the real thing only that I was left disappointed that odyssey didn't stay on the whole night.

Visited this theatre for the first time with my disabled wife. Staff could not have been more kind and helpful. Although where we say was on level seating stage view was not restricted. Show was excellent with good sound quality and lighting. Happy to recommend this theatre to anyone .

Was really impressed with this theatre - our first visit. Being disabled, a lovely member of staff showed us to our seats and explained where we could leave my rollator. Great seats, as advised when booking. Even sitting in the stools on the flat (Row H), we had a good view of the stage. Venue and facilities are easily accessed. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. All in all a very good evening. We shall return. Thank you White Rock.

We went here last night before the Think Floyd show and we had booked a table, they were late opening it up and service was a bit hit and miss, certainly not fine dining, but I ordered the spicy chicken burger and it was really lovely, the menu is very limited, so its a choice of 2 burgers a pie a veg burger or scampi, I do not know if this changes night to night, or week to week, but the food was really nice, I did have the Eton mess for desert but it was mostly cream.
The service is not great, like for desert they threw me a soup spoon, I asked for it to be changed and it was done but why give a soup spoon to begin with? it felt lazy.

Went to the White Rock Theatre last night to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Tickets were booked on line, very easily, when we collected them on the night the staff were very helpful and pleasant taking time to explain where everything wrong. A small venue and it felt very crowded the auditorium is compact and feels intimate, seats not very comfortable. The sound was very good and the show excellent.
Being a Sunday parking adjacent to the theatre was free after 6.00 pm.

The theatre experience wasn't bad on the whole. The staff were helpful and the seats in the circle good, although could do with a little more leg room. Have sat in worse though. The food experience however in the Bistro wasn't great and we won't be going back. We'd booked a table for 6pm, leaving an hour and a half before the performance. It was already busy when we arrived and service took a little while to get going. We'd both ordered the scampi but were sorely disappointed. It honestly looked like a child's portion. Six measly bits of battered crustacean accompanied by more crockery on the plate than in the kitchen...a ramekin for the tartare sauce, a ramekin for the teaspoon serving of peas and a ceramic pot with a few chips in. Certainly not worth £8.50. We had wanted dessert but due to the slow service there wasn't time and no one bothered to ask us if we wanted anything else when they took our plates away. Other tables around us were experiencing slow service too, seemed to be a recurring theme sadly. The young serving girls looked harassed and rushed off their feet and when I went to pay at the desk, one had a rather unprofessional mini meltdown with her colleague, exchanging somewhat annoyed sounding banter. I wished we'd booked elsewhere to be honest. Thankfully the show we saw made up for our disappointment.
