Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- CoastocoasterManchester123 contributionsWent to the restaurant after seeing a film. Loved the menu, great food with different flavours & excellent service. Not mad prices either!Written 13 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- George29 contributionsGood local cinema. The cinema is modern and clean but probably due to there bad record with cleanliness. The food and snacks are very expensive however ticket prices are cheap so it kinda cancels out. Seats are good and comfortable. And screens are large.Written 2 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael NCheadle Hulme, UK4,391 contributionsVisited a cinema for the first time in over 5 years. Pre-booked my seats for the Downton Abbey film using some free vouchers.
Friday at 4:30 was unexpected quiet, hardly anyone in the auditorium and eventually only 6 people viewed the film. Thus easy to change seats as some were a bit worn and tatty.
The whole venue appeared very tired but it was warm and seating comfortable.
Surprised that we were subjected to 25 mins of adverts and trailers but this is possibly the norm as we rarely go to the cinema.
Film was a bit dark at times and possibly out of focus on occasions. Sound was quite high a slight benefit as slightly deaf.
Did not purchase any food or drinks.
Toilets were clean and functional.
A reasonably enjoyable experience.Written 1 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Obviously they can only show one film at a time as there's only one screen/wall so might have to wait a while for a film we want to see to be showing.
All in all was pleasantly surprised. We were in the front row, not sure if the view would have been as good from the second row.
You tune your car radio in to listen to the film which then uses your car battery - this led to people turning their car engines on and off throughout the film. The noise wasn't too disruptive but it meant lights flashing on and off.
They also offer dominos pizza which you order at the start and is delivered to your car through the film.Written 11 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However me and my wife went to this cinema to watch the new Barbie movie and we felt the cinema was out dated and need to be cleaned more often.Written 23 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AbiM05Manchester, UK16 contributionsAfter much deliberation, we decided that it would be more cost effective to go for the ‘Bowl & Pizza’ deal. This allows up to 6 people to have 1 hour bowling + a 12” pizza to share, for £30. This works out cheaper per person if there are several people going, as opposed to the standard bowling. We ‘checked in’ with no hassle and we’re assigned our lane with no issues. However, when we began bowling, we noticed that nearly every time one of us bowled, the ball started off straight but always skewed in the same direction towards the end. This didn’t seem to be the case for any other lanes; unless my whole group are terrible bowlers, we suspect that there was a defect in our lane. Another problem was that at one point, no more balls came up the ball return system. Although a worker came quickly and radioed for someone of fix the problem, we were left stood around for quite a while, eating into our 1 hour bowling time. At the end of the game, we were left with 10 mins of our 1 hour left, although you can have a 2nd game, we we’re told that if we started another game, it would automatically cut off after the 1 hour time, so we decided if wasn’t worth it. We were thinking of highlighting to the bowling alley about the suspected defect, but after all the technical difficulties we forgot, hence this review. As an additional point, the bowling alley is noisy and quite stuffy, so bare this in mind if you struggle with these things. A couple of my friends have been to Ten Pin Printworks, in Manchester City Centre, where they had a much more enjoyable, hitch-free experience. This site is also much cheaper, at only £3.25 for one game, per student (Parrs Wood did not seem to offer student rates). We will probably go to the Printworks site if we were to go again.Written 10 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael NCheadle Hulme, UK4,391 contributionsRarely go to the cinema but as I had acquired some free tickets booked to see Puss in Boots. Long haul up the escalators as lifts did not appear to work.
Pleasantly surprised and nice comfy reclining seats.
Not that busy and kids present were well behaved and quiet, just very messy with their popcorn.
Film was OK and sound level good just seemed to be excessive adverts and trailers.
Far superior venue to the Odeon on Deansgate - glad this will be knocked down in the near future.Written 5 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I travel across town to visit it, due to ease of access and easy parking.There are good food outlets next door for " before or after" meals.
The spacious reception area is light and airy with all the necessary snacks.Written 14 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
