Disappointing Cinema Experience

I attended a 7pm show on Sunday and encountered one of the most frustrating customer service experiences at a cinema. Just before the film, I purchased two large popcorns and a large drink. When the staff handed me the drink, it felt unusually light. I opened the lid right at the counter to find it filled to only about 75% – certainly not a full large drink. When I politely requested the staff member to fill it properly, she declined, stating they were instructed to fill drinks only “to that level” if a customer opts out of ice. I had paid full price, yet I was receiving less product simply because I didn’t want ice? This is completely unreasonable. The refusal to rectify the situation and the lack of apology were truly shocking. It felt as though I was being intentionally short-changed for something I had paid full price for. Such behavior is highly unprofessional and left a very negative impression.

Great Film, But Freezing Conditions Ruined the Experience

The film was fantastic, but we were freezing. We wore thick coats and sweaters, as you would in December, and it was so cold you could see our breath. When we complained, we were told some people find it too hot! We won't be returning during colder weather!

Great Cinema Experience

This cinema is really great, I love it! I've been multiple times. However, during my recent visit to watch a film, it was excessively loud. I still recommend the cinema overall; it's very good.

Once a Good Cinema, Now Disappointing

This cinema used to be a good place to see films at reasonable prices, but that's no longer the case. It's no surprise that screenings are almost empty now. I'll be choosing a different cinema in the future.

Unpleasant Customer Treatment

My daughter and her friends visited the cinema to see a 15 certificate film. They all had various forms of ID, yet two of them, including my daughter, were turned away. After some confusion, she was finally allowed in but had to buy a large drink because there were no small cups. She later found out that others with the same ID had received posters from the staff, while she was overlooked. Although they enjoyed the film, the poor treatment from the staff marred their experience.

Poor Visibility During Film

Why is the advertising projected brightly while the actual film is so dim that you need night vision goggles to see it? It seems the cinema is cutting costs on energy bills at the expense of the viewer experience. I suggest investing in a large TV and enjoying movies at home instead.

Avoid This Cinema

This cinema is terrible; I do not recommend it. The staff were rude and even shouted at me, which upset my young child. Please avoid this place if you value a pleasant experience.

Overpriced Low-Quality Food

While the cinema experience was decent, the food was of low quality and overpriced. I paid a significant amount for two small, cold cheese and ham toasties, a small portion of chips, a tea, and a coffee. This is not what I expected.
