Greatly improved since our last visit. Full staff on board, serving customers at the ticket as well as candy bar counter. The usher was pleasant and friendly. Toilets and cinema area very clean, it was a pleasure seeing a movie in this cinema.

The cinemas get a quick tidy up between movies, but the theatre's need a really good clean as they are unfortunately quite grimy. Well located, loads of movies to choose from, drinks on the pricy side, just plan well ahead to allow plenty of time to ensure that you get a ticket and snacks and if you are a female patron - take tissues.
