Tickets are cheap, movies are great and some cult favourites are often played here. It isn't glam or grand, based in a lecture theatre at the university, but you tend to be able to see great, serious film from foreign cinema, or some lesser known directors closer to home. It is quiet, clean and definately for the film buff, so it means you can watch what you like in peace. Free parking makes this a better bet than the Odeon in town and if you go to a cheap monday night film - it is even better value.

I like this place very much, mostly because, unsurprisingly, I like to be able to watch a film without people talking through it and it tends to attract film students and older people who sit in silence. The bar and food have improved greatly since a refurbishment a few years ago and it feels so much more personal and a sophisicated night out than going to a multi-plex. As an added bonus you can park close by for free, which is unusual in Canterbury and there is a regular bus service into town.

Not the best cinema in the world. This little place has two screens and a tiny cramped foyer that…read morefor some reason they decided to shove two sofa's in. I visited recently with a lady friend and my little brother to watch a movie he wanted to see. When I got there (we hadn't reserved) I was surprised to find that not only could we sit in the exact seats we wanted to sit in, but also that it would only cost £3.50 each. £3.50 to watch a popular new release, by any standards is a brilliant price. This was a midday/early afternoon viewing and I am aware that the prices get dearer in the evening but compared to larger national cinemas the price was quite amazing. My little brother decided, since we hadn't had time to fill our bags with cheaper sweets from the supermarket, to go and buy some popcorn from the lovely young lady at the sweetie counter. Now we all know cinemas have you over a barrel with this one and normally I would have said no but he insisted. So he went off and came back with a huge tub of popcorn. When I asked him what it cost he smiled and said not much she gave me the wrong change. So the popcorn cost him £2 or so. One more tick for the Kavanagh. So off we went into the first screen to watch the film, off to the front we trotted. Two or so hours later we emerged, necks stuck in crane position and backs and bums firmly numbed. The film was enjoyable and as my brother chose the front seats I can't blame the cinema for my neck or back ache but can blame them for the bum ache, caused by the old seats. I am glad there is still an independent cinema in Herne Bay. It makes you feel the place isn't going down hill after all. Although they had several problems and they did close for a while they are now alive and kicking. Try getting an afternoon viewing as its cheaper and reserve your seats just to be on the safe side.
