Affordability
Pros:
"This independent cinema is so affordable to watch stuff on the big screen, way more cheaper than the commercial cinemas."
"Really good value film tickets too - much cheaper than its Brighton rivals."
"Ticket prices are so much better compared to the likes of CineWorld and The Odeon."
"And the tickets are very cheap - under 25s from £4, double for full price."
"£4 for under 25 tickets drew us in."
"Great modern cinema, extremely comfortable seating, good screen and audio quality at affordable prices."
Cons:
"I’ve heard the food and drink is expensive but good quality."
"Knocking off one star because a pint of Bear IPA was £7.50! Didn't realise until after I'd bought it."
Comfort and Cleanliness
Pros:
"The cinema is comfy too which is always a bonus."
"Seats very comfy and clean..no whiff of cheesy nachos or sticky floors here."
"It's a really nice cinema with good food in the cafe and really comfy seats."
"Very comfortable seats in the nicely-sized cinema."
"Cinema seats are luxurious and sound and picture quality is very high."
Cons:
"Lovely cinema generally comfortable seats but seat c2 in screen 2 is right in front of the exit doors which meant a draft every time the door was open."
"Toilets were immaculate, however the hand dryers were completely ineffective."
"But was disappointed with the cleanliness in screen 2 - hairs and debris on the seats."
Movie Selection and Experience
Pros:
"Nice restaurant with interesting, locally sourced, menu plus lots of unusual 'indie' film choices."
"They show lots of art house films by A24 and others."
"Glad that the Depot is screening films like this!"
"The film selection is eclectic with many interesting films from all periods but also recent blockbusters."
"Good films at good price, close to station and central town, and very cosy and comfortable seats."
"Great selection of movies, nice place to enjoy some drinks/food before your movie starts."
Cons:
"I'd previously been here to watch a movie, but this was the first time I'd gone for a group celebration."
"Unfortunately, you cannot take food into the cinema unless it is purchased at the shop."
"Too loud in small screening room."
Food and Drink
Pros:
"Having come from Brighton and with an hour to spare before my film started, I took advantage of the restaurant facilities where I enjoyed delicious coffee & cake, plus a beer."
"Fabulous cinema, bar, gardens and social space. Friendly staff."
"Nice draught beer and very good bacon + pancakes."
Cons:
"The ice-cream I bought on the way in, manufactured by Sussex Ice Cream, was by far the worst ice-cream I have ever tasted."
"After asking about the food at 7:50 we were told it would be another 10 minutes. When the food did arrive it was hard to see what had taken so long."
"Staff and vibe is nice. Menu is WAY overpriced for what you actually get."
