“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.”

“Went here to see Marty Supreme with a friend and had the most accommodating staff member serving me. Liz helped out in any way possible with a beautiful smile on her face. Will definitely be coming back!”
