Vue is always the best option to go at the cinema if you have a short budget and many kids. Is very big, and with many options in movies and food. Toilets very, very clean and tidy, don’t have bad smell. And at the bar you have a lot of food, candies and drinks. If you want best prices you have to buy in advance online, is a little sad because this means that one day no will need a human in the ticket sale on site. The experience is really nice, so you can add in your list of place to go at half term.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families prioritising clean facilities and affordable ticket prices over a premium cinema experience. Online advance booking unlocks the best value. Bring extra layers as screen temperatures run cold. Families with very young children should that the concessions bar can be slow and hot food options are variable.

β€œGreat affordable price for really comfortable, spacious seats. Addionally, it was the first time I've gone into a public toilet and thought 'wow it smells nice in here!'. Really clean toilets, both men and women's based on what my family said also. Only wish that there was a break in the middle of the movie as it was over 3 hours long (Avatar).”

β€œLet’s begin with giving it three stars and the reason for that is because I’ve just seen Jaws on the big screen again And that has gained it another star so in reality I’m talking about a two star performance today from Cinema A shame really it’s really big complex clean when you walk in nice shiny floor three areas to get food but three people serving all on the one area so you have to wait to get served on all the areas and that takes awhile the meat and greet as you went in Wasn’t good as he made a point of telling me the film didn’t start until three with an attitude in his voice, obviously I knew that and went early so I could get something to eat and sit down and there is a first problem not the attitude of the staff, which is actually not that good but there are no seats downstairs nowhere to sit at all only about 4 to 5 seats upstairs which are old and were dirty the floor upstairs was clean food by the entrance to the theatres and a limited amount of food you could buy. I didn’t see any hot dogs or hot food just lots of chocolates and popcorn and cold drinks. Very pricey for you get so I would advise put your own crisps or your own Mars bar in your own handbag or whatever you carry the actual carpets in the theatres look tired and worn and need a good clean and we paid for the VIP seat which gave you a good view and to be fair they are comfortable but I don’t expect to pay the money for it a little bit more than a standard seat and find there to be food on it no ushers in the theatres to let you know when you can go in just a cleaner that will walk past you and say well you can go in now if you want to again with attitude so if they’re not throwing your money in your hand instead of handing it to you or sarcastically telling you what time it starts or in general not talking to you because they’re busy on their phones instead of dealing with people constantly talking in the theatre, then it’s okay, I guess but I wouldn’t break my neck to go there again. Poorly managed staff with attitude nowhere to sit when you eat, especially if you’ve just had knee surgery but my wife had and myself and so there is no way to sit you have to stand I’m afraid. The only reason I went was to see Jaws again on the big screen and had it been at the cinema I normally use I would’ve gone there so I score this 3 out of 5 .. untidy tired and poorly managed a bad experience I’m afraid I will stick to my local cinema or to the red carpet cinema in Burton, which is 1000 times better”

β€œWent to see avatar today on new years holiday. Everybody was in winter coats and hoods as it was freezing in the there. The lady working there checking your tickets was working with gloves on, that should’ve been a warning. Feel like the movie experience was robbed a bit because of the cinema being freezing and that made it uncomfortable. I liked the film but wanted it to go faster as I could not thake the cold.”
