  • "Visited this cinema as I took my daughter to see the Lion king movie.The tickets cost £4.99 each so it was very affordable to come here."

Cons:

  • "The film you've chosen to watch will always dominate this score. That said screen 1 is the best here, ticket prices are tough to beat especially for a family of four. However, the prices for food and drink are on the high side, but typical for a cinema."
  • "We understand its a pandemic period but it doesn't justify overcharging for food and reducing the size."
  • "It's outrageously expensive. Snacks and drinks for myself and my 12 Yr old son came to £35."
  • "Even though it is just short of £4 for a packet of M&M's and just short of £3 for a small bottle of Dr Pepper!!"
  • "The 'cheap Day Tuesday' is a joke! It cost us Seniors £8.49 each last week!!! That's not cheap."
  • "Went to watch venom, payed for vip seats (no better than standard) snacks MAHOOOOSIVELY overpriced."
