Copy of my complaint to the cinema which says it all really…read more.. Dear Mr Allwood, I thought I should report the really poor experience I had at your cinema this evening at the hands of your manager Emily Coupland. I don't usually do things like this but I'm a fan of independent cinemas and believe Emily is doing you a disservice. I booked three tickets and then an extra one ticket for my step daughter (26), my daughter Esme (15) and her friend Molly (15). This was to see Knock Cabin which the girls were really looking forward to. They were excited and actually came in to use your toilets before we went for supper. When we returned to watch the film we were given our tickets only to then be 'pounced on' and questioned about the two younger girls ages. I confirmed they were over 15 however this wasn't accepted. We were then told they needed to produce 'ID cards' or that their mother (away on holiday) should send copies of passports. What 15 year olds carry ID cards?! The above was tantamount to telling me I was a liar. Having travelled from Lewes via Haywards Heath to pick up my stepdaughter and then do the journey in return I can safely say our whole evening has been ruined. To add insult to injury, despite remaining polite and courteous, your manager could barely suppress her smile while she refunded the tickets. Perhaps something happened when the girls came into use your toilets? Perhaps Emily just took a dislike to them for some reason? I appreciate she has a right to question their ages but to in effect accuse a father of lying seems excessive. I'll be leaving a review accordingly. Perhaps you should consider a new and more personable manager? Let me know if you do and we might come back! Thanks

I used to be taken to the cinema at Burgess Hill a lot as a child and have fond memories of the…read moreplace. it was originally built in 1919 and has gone through a number of refurbishments since then. The most significant was the addition of a second screen in 1990. As the building is not that large you will find the smaller screen quite limited and this may not be the place for someone with claustrophobia!! They won't get the new releases quite as quickly as the mega-plexes of Brighton or Crawley, but the place does retain the independent charm of it's heritage. However, they only seem to be a week or two behind and for a cheaper rate (£5.50 for an adult) and deals on family tickets, still worth a visit. They also have a 'super 8' deal where you can buy 2 seats for £8 and may use it for 50 visits. Now that's a pretty good deal and if you live in Burgess Hill well worth investing in. It's not quite as alternative as venues such as the Duke of York, but seeing as big business seems to take over everything these days, I am pleased to see my childhood favourite still going strong.

I have to admit, I was a little sceptical with regards to this new offspring of the delightful Duke…read moreof York Cinema that has become a Brighton institution over the years. You can't beat the old fashioned cinema on London Road, with its one small screen and infamous legs poking off the roof. Well, you can't beat it, but maybe you can equal it. The brains behind the DofY have taken over part of Komedia in the Laines and added two new screens, enabling the range of movies to be greatly increased. They still focus on more art house and world cinema films but also touch a little more on the mainstream now as well. We popped in today on the off chance and were just in time to catch 'This is 40'. Like the original Dukes there is a delightful cafe/bar area, selling light meals, homemade cakes, ice cream, ales from the Dark Star brewery, and a selection of wines. I love the fact that you can take your alcoholic drinks into the movie - a real treat. You select your seats when you purchase your tickets. The back row has double seats for no extra cost so you can cosy up to your loved one! All the seating is really comfy and there is loads of leg room. This really does feel like a luxury experience compared with your mainstream cinemas. The toilets are upstairs and are definitely an improvement on the DofY -all brand spanking new with luscious soaps and hand creams. The price is slightly more than your average cinema but I would rather come here any day of the week than the Odeon or Cineworld. It was certainly a challenge for these guys to expand without losing the essence of what makes them special, but they seem to have achieved it hands down.

Really hate to have to do this…read more.. Why is it always that the really cool places to go have really attitudey unhelpful staff? It really let's places down. My mother has just had another baby recently and I love meeting them for coffees and occasionally going to see a film at the 'big scream' with them. The Big Scream gives new mothers an opportunity to view the latest films with their babies (under 12 months) in the company of other mothers and their wee screaming bairns. FAB idea, these are the kind of things I love about Dukeys. Anyway we decided to try it at Dukes @ Komedia this time around, to go drool over Gosling. Usually I am fine to accompany them. While I was buying a coffee and ticket I was told by the girl she'd have to check whether it was ok for me to go in as I didn't have a baby with me. I stated I was WITH a baby but still the manager had to come and chat with us. Kind of ridiculous - why would I Prefer to go to a film with a load of screaming babies shouting over it? Are you seriously being stuffy about it? It wasn't busy at all either. At first, when he began talking I thought he really wasn't going to let me in but as he went on he explained that the license prevented them from allowing single people in but in this case I would be viewed as a carer. I can understand turning away people on their own because it is specific for mothers BUT I was clearly here with mother and baby. It was the girl standing behind him that was being shirty and unpleasant, standing with her arms crossed, angrily trying to chip in. Really? Tone it down love. There was no need for that attitude - she doesn't have great people skills anyway as I saw her with some other customers. If they're going to carry on upholding the 'Dukes' name - such a great establishment, they could do with brushing up their customer service and she could learn how to smile! The coffee wasn't good either :( hopefully they'll improve next time around but I am a bit put off.

Good Movies, Excellent Aesthetic, Excellent Price, Good Staff, Modest little gem!!! This ancient independent cinema is like your 90 year old grandfather, to some he may seem like a waist of space but if you are willing to look beyond your cineworld unlimited membership and IMAX bollocks you will find something amazing which deserves your respect. Firstly the seats are a bit uncomfortable, the toilets are a bit wiffy and the blasted buses block it's view 90% of the time, I have no qualms other than that. Potentially it's greatest asset is that it is more than a cinema with a gorgeous cinema historia bar, welcoming café and art gallery all in one building on the seafront. Other nice stuff is that the staff all seem to be pretty relaxed and approachable, student tickets are £3.50, and it is worth our admiration, respect and support due to its unimaginable longevity.

I.LOVE.EVERYMAN…read more Now that there are two Everyman Cinemas in the area, I'm probably going to be much more of a film buff than I ever would be. Comfy couches, milkshakes to order and wait WHAT!? They sell a Washington wine?! F* Vue, I'm coming here the rest of my days. The Esher outfit has 4 screens, with Screen 1 being the biggest. It's a double decker with great sound and nice two person couch 'booths'. You can also order hot food in and bring alcohol into the cinema screen. Adults only, no crying babies and giggly teens? Heck. Yes. Sadly two things knock this place down to a 4* vs a 5*. Firstly, staff service here is very hit and miss. Very young staff meaning texting / giggling amongst each other can sometimes come above a waiting customer. Additionally, the screens are quite different in terms of comfy rating. Screen 2 has little footrests that mimic say a sofa/coffee table at home, whilst Screen 1 doesn't, which does make it lose just that little bit of comfiness for a long movie. Also, weirdly enough, end booths in Screen 1 don't have a table or a perch, meaning the person closest to the aisle has got to either put their drink on the ground (watch the spillage!) or hold it the entire time... Not ideal. However, it's still a much better (read: Expensive) experience, but I'd take this any day over a Vue (or the Vue in Staines) as it's closer, more intimate and caters to insolently intolerant people like me.

IT'S A BIG HIT!!!!…read more If you want a night out this is a fab place to see a film. It feels like a treat and an enjoyable experience. Four screens, each screen room different but all have comfy couches, chairs and tables, the sound is excellent too. The cinema was spotless and a notch up in decoration, comfort, style and class from your usual Vue and Odeon cinemas. I found the staff helpful. As it was not busy I did not have to wait to be served. We ordered the vanilla and peanut butter milkshake, v nice. As the film started our pizzas were delivered to us. We ordered the margherita and special pizza. The chap taking the order wasn't sure of exactly what the special pizza was said it was ham and capers. I quizzed him a little more and he said Palma ham. Got to say although not large in size they did taste delish and I would not hesitate to have them again. It felt weird eating watching the movie but a great weird, I could get use to this. I was so impressed with the whole experience I became a member as I will be going back to watch more films at this fab place. It is more expensive but it's worth it. Oh yes I will xoxo
