Conversion

This is a fine example of an early 1920s cinema, exceptionally theatrical in its plan and decoration. It has been beautifully converted and is Grade II-listed. The large seating area on two levels has several private booths at the rear of the bar. The usual range of ales and meals is available from Wetherspoon's.
