Staff polite and efficient. Cakes fab. Sandwiches could have been a little more exciting. Had cucumber, cheese and pickle and turkey and cranberry. At times chatting in areas close to where the film was was distracting as only consenteener doors which were not sound proof. Would go again but consider where I sat knowing this. Perhaps they could consider not seating other customers near to wear the film is being held.
