“Our favourite cinema these days. Chicken sliders, fries and house "choc tops" are all great. Pizza used to be good but last one we had was a bit smaller and not as nice, hoping that was a one off. Seats are very comfortable although I wish the back reclined a little more. Comfortable temperature with blankets available on request. Great selection of movies and plenty of other eateries near by.”
