Me invitaron a cenar en este restaurant (el cine no lo visité) y me gustó mucho. Puedes pedir platos ligeros y bien guarnecidos para una cena mas informal. Hay actuaciones de música en vivo que me dicen que son muy frecuentes y animan la velada. La decoración como no podía ser de otra manera está ambientada en el mundo del cine. Todo el es acogedor. Salí muy satisfecho.

Always a great experience at the Picture House. Took a group of octogenarian to see Kinky Boots, the musical - they loved it.

Have been a resident of Uckfield for 30+ years and as such have been a regular patron of the Cinema. We were due to go to the Lounge tonight, but unfortunately my wife has contracted Covid today. I rang to see if my tickets could be deferred as it would be irresponsible to attend and was met with a friendly voice, who tried to help. Unfortunately she could not, as we, apparently need to give 24 hours notice to cancel. I did explain that I wasn't after a credit, just simply that I could use those tickets on another day. She put me through to the manager, who although obviously briefed by her colleague just abruptly asked How she could help. Then when a repeated what I said =, she simply just said its company policy and that's already been explained to you! So nothing can be done. I assume I will get a refund for the drinks I've ordered ? Or is that company policy to charge for something I haven't drunk as well as a seat I've not sat in? Very short sighted and a real shame

First time visiting this cinema, and I was really impressed! The seats are super comfy and I loved being able to order food and drinks to my seat. The sound was set at a comfortable level too, I usually find the sound much too loud at other cinemas. Looking forward to going back!

We only visited the restaurant, not the cinema, for coffee and cake mid morning on a Saturday. This is a unique cafe and restaurant with easy chairs and comfortable sofas, so nice atmosphere. No table service, you have to order at the bar although the order is bought to the table. Only 3 stars because there were only two cake choices and they were the last slices which was disappointing. They have special cinema and dinner tickets so we will try again - just get more cakes!

If you want just a fantastic cinema experience and a great place to eat beforehand then look no further! The restaurant menu is fantastic. I have celiac disease and their GF menu is brilliant with a large choice. The cinema is just wonderful!! The cinema is clearly loved by those who own it and work there. Forget the normal chain cinemas , Uckfield Picture House offers a truly wonderful and memorable experience. Table service to your seat. Have a beer and food at your seat and enjoy the movie!

We live equi distance between Uckfield & Tunbridge Wells, so have the choice of a large multiplex or the Uckfield picture house. We always pick the lounge at the picture house. Lovely experience. Comfy reclining seats. Table service for drinks and food and great quality viewing experience. We then often pop over to their restaurant over the road which is great quality too.

My wife and I randomly found ourselves staying in Uckfield at the weekend (we had to be somewhere local in the morning so stayed over) and we were looking for something to do in the evening. We found this amazing place only a few minutes away from where we were staying. We booked dinner at the restaurant - lovely film inspired decor, a friendly welcome and great service, and really good food, reasonably priced. We then popped over the road to the cinema to watch the new Mission Impossible in their 'lounge' cinema which was a fantastic experience. Reclining leather armchairs, waitress service before the film for all your food and drink needs - was great to enjoy a pint with the film in such comfort. The only issue is being so comfortable you could end up having a snooze!! If you're ever passing through I highly recommend stopping here, it's a great night out. Thanks so much!

1 star as I ended up know going. I tries to book tickets using the online system. 1st time I booked them, I thought I had completed the long winded transaction only to realise there was a system error message. I tried again and then it said my basket was empty. 3rd time it showed the exact seats I booked were already taken!? At the time I was doing it I think it's more likely to be a system failure than someone else booked the seats. It's really annoying when something as simple as booking tickets is a time consuming pain in the ... neck.

An older building with charm hosting traditional smaller screen rooms. I've never had a problem here to see the screen, even with a tall person directly in front! Staff are always very friendly and happy to help. I rarely visit a cinema (I'm not the best at sitting still) but here (maybe other places these days) they even sell alcohol. This enabled me to relax with some chocolate, a glass of wine and a great film. Free parking available close by too :-)

The Lounge screen is very cool. Comfy large electric reclining seats with raised foot rest (don't fall asleep!). Get your own mini table with a menu of hot and cold snacks. These aren't your standards menu offerings you see at cinemas, and the food is tasty. Can order alcohol too. I can recommend the nachos. Someone comes and takes your order from your seat, and brings it to you. Would be better if they had the option to order on your phone from a qr code. Can order in advance though if you book your ticket online.

This place has been up and down over the years, quite often find a member of staff is hard to talk to and they tend to assume you know everything about the place already. There’s no clear direction at times. But having said that, I’ve also had great experiences especially if you book the lounge, they do a great job in there and serve food before the movie starts!

Does it get any better than that? YES it does. The food in the restaurant is lovely and the staff are all so approachable and pleasant to talk to. My wife and I make the effort to drive over from Tunbridge Wells rather than the rip off prices and squash seating at the Odeon any day.

Intended to have a birthday celebration, on seating the waitress asked for a drinks order, took one of our group then spoke implying we had already had enough to drink and we had to be quiet, before then walking away, Yes!! we were chatty and laughing, it was a birthday, certainly not offensive or loud to others, We decided we didn't feel comfortable with the vibe so chose to leave, On arrival at another eatery, very welcoming, we were told that they had been warned of a loud rowdy group whom had been asked to leave the restaurant, us!!! The waitress was obviously having a bad day (it was 6pm) other diners were talking, it wasn't busy, And WE Chose To leave, shame as menu looked nice, disappointing one staff member could have not taken out her bad day on us, we won't be returning to try again.

The food is very good, a little pricey but the reason I’ve not given a 5* rating is because I felt the time between receiving meals was too long. We were there for 2 hours only having 2 courses, I also felt the tables were far too close together which means you cannot have a private conversation with your partner and they are very small tables for 2.

Were looking for a couple of night's escape at half term. The owners of the Blacksmiths Arms went out of their way to make us welcome, and we would definitely recommend it for reasonable no frills accommodation. Home cooked food and superb breakfasts, in an area where overnight rooms are at a premium. Emma, Gary and (particularly) Chelsea were great hosts and had some good chats.. Pool table was enjoyed by the guys. Be warned that they close at 5.00 on Sundays, which seems common in the area.
