FAQ

No, snacks and drinks sold on site cannot be brought in; external catering is allowed for a Full Venue Hire, and even then it must be hot food. Screen hires must purchase drinks and snacks from the bar because the venue loses ticket revenue and income from bar customers and, as a small independent cinema with a fully functioning bar and café, relies on this revenue to stay afloat and is not BYO.

Yes. Guests can purchase food and drinks individually on the night.

Yes, guests can bring a birthday cake. However, popcorn cannot be brought because the venue has a fully functioning bar and concessions stand.

There would normally be one staff member (the duty manager) who can test the film, but that presence can be omitted if preferred.

A standard digital projector and surround sound (Dolby 5.1 or 7.1) are available in the private screening rooms.
