ODEON Newark

It's a nice little cinema tucked away in the streets of Newark. I dislike big rowdy malls and shopping areas (geez I sound old) but this was quiet with plenty of parking on a Tuesday night. Very nice staff who seemed genuinely interested. Why 3 stars? Seats: do not pay for an upgrade in seating!!! They are terrible and hard and I was so uncomfortable. The normal seats looked better. Concessions: £4.29 for a small bottle of coke...outrageous. Just bring your own as their prices are unacceptable. (ps it was sugar free coke so therefore this wasn't a sugar-tax issue). Screen and sound: good. As you would expect from an Odeon. Would I recommend? Yes.

Actually quite decent, nice little seating area overlooking the car park if u are early, the screen was clear 👌 a beer was 7 quid and they had loads of snack choices. Had a good time

We booked premier seats at an additional cost, expecting a more comfortable and spacious experience. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. The seats were rock hard and offered very little leg room, making the experience quite uncomfortable. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the extra money we paid. The food choices were also quite limited. While I appreciate this may have been because we attended one of the last showings, I’d still expect warm food to be available. Additionally, the staff weren’t particularly welcoming. We weren’t greeted on arrival just a brief “can I scan your ticket,” which made the experience feel quite impersonal. Lastly, the car park is not free. If there is onsite parking and the film is around 2.5 hours long, you would expect not to have to pay for parking while attending. This was an added frustration to the overall experience.

The staff are so kind and helpful. I wanted to claim my free birthday treat ( large popcorn and large drink) before seeing “Sheep Detectives” but have the Xtras app on my iPad ( at home ) and not on my mobile (which I did have with me). The staff were very patient and accessed my details which took a few minutes and this may sound like standard customer service but it was the courteous way in which I was treated that was most impressive. I also got a handmade birthday card when I left and this really was above the call of duty.
