Pulling into that massive car park off the East Lancs can feel like you’re entering a retail fortress. But ignore the shiny Tesco next door—once you’re through those automatic doors, the De Lux part kicks in hard.
The lobby smells like buttered nostalgia, sure, but it also has a bar. Actually decent cocktails. Not the kind made from a mix that tastes like melted Haribo, either.
You can grab a mojito before any showing, which is basically permission to treat a 2pm Tuesday screening as a legitimate social event. (I’m not judging—I’ve done it. The staff didn’t judge either.)
The seats are a hazard (in the best way)
Let’s talk about the seats, because they’re the real stars here. We’re talking electric recliners, full-on lie-flat mode, with a little side table for your nachos.
I once fell asleep during a Marvel film—not because it was boring, but because the chair literally hugged me. It’s that comfortable. You’ll leave the screening wondering if you can just live there, pay rent in popcorn.
Side note: Remember when cinema seats just flipped up and slapped your thighs? Those were dark times, my friend.
