I don't really want to be going to the cinema to see a NEW movie at 8:50 in the evening thanks. Some new movies are not even screened here at all. The food is awfully overpriced and there are no discount schemes unlike the Nottingham Cornerhouse cinema, which runs a £10 a month unlimited card.

And the cost of going to cinemas these days... ridiculous! Anyway, it was the Easter long weekend, the clouds had covered Sheffield in a dulling grey and my brother, sister-in-law and I were in need of some entertainment. So we went and saw Locke at The Showroom Cinema. It wasn't busy so we were able to get tickets quickly and headed down into the surprisingly large room. It was clean, comfy and the screen and sound quality were great. Everything you could want in a cinema with that good 'local' feel. According to my brother, their ice cream is fantastic but our excess Easter egg consumption meant we avoided additional sugar. Also, the restaurant connected to the cinema is supposed to serve some great food but I am yet to try. One day...

Seats are very reasonably priced at £7.50 or £9.00 for luxury. If you opt for luxury there are both 2 seater sofas and bigger cinema seat options, so you might want to check what you are getting. I love the little tables and that there's a bar where you can stock up on wine before the feature presentation. Sound quality seemed v good to me and although we sat right at the back, I wasn't bothered by the distance from the screen. Also, the toilets were super delightful, my friend was genuinely keen for me to go visit them to check the nice environment out! They have a good selection of releases, I would prefer to see slightly more indie in the mix but frankly whatever keeps this place upon as it's a total gem.

The Savoy Cinema has been recently refurbished, by a small company who have restored a couple of…read moreother little cinemas like The Ritz cinema in Belper, and has reopened recently on Heaton Moor Road. The foyer area of the cinema is very nice, with a little counter at the front where you can buy tickets and drinks and snacks. The Savoy will let you pre-book your cinema tickets, much like any of the large multiplex chains, but with a slight twist. You can reserve your tickets at any point, but you don't actually collect and pay for them until the movie showing. This can result in a bit of a queue, so if it's a popular movie you should arrive in plenty of time. The range of drinks and snacks is pretty good; they have everything from soda to beer and wine, as well as the usual popcorn and Ben & Jerry's ice cream tubs. The prices are also very reasonable. When I visited there were three of us there to watch the new Star Wars movie (no spoilers, I promise!), and in all the three Standard seats with a pint and a soda was £27. The seats themselves, for "Standard" seating, were pretty damn comfortable! Usually in a multiplex it's a bit hit-and-miss whether I get a comfy seat with enough leg room to accommodate me as I'm not exactly short. The Savoy seats were great, and I had plenty of space to stretch out without hitting the seat in front which was great. The drinks holders are also stylish and large enough to handle any drink you throw at them. There's only one screen at the moment, though I think they're adding a second smaller one at some point (though I could be wrong). That said, the screen is plenty big enough and the projection was spot on. If you're going to be a regular visitor to The Savoy, they have a membership scheme which is £20 per person per year but this gets you two free tickets to see any movie* in any seating class so you can use them for the premium seats. Membership also gets you ongoing discount on regular ticket prices as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Savoy and I can see myself making regular visits in the future. Would definitely recommend!! (* some exceptions may apply!)

That is, if you can get a ticket! From when I used to live near the area, it was always sold out. So, big seats for the basic seats, then even bigger and four sofas which still work out comparatively to regular cinema seats. But the food and drink are rather more upmarket ...... a china mug of coffee, or a glass of wine and some cake or nice ice-cream but all affordable unlike a regular cinema. This is truly an outing and worth it. And then there are the bathrooms - black and white tiles, with individual fresh cotton hand towels and ladies necessaries free of charge on the window sill. And nice hand cream. It is worth it just for the toilets! Staff are lovely and helpful.

We ordered our tickets online and just used one of the kiosks to retrieve them when we arrived. There was a line for drinks and snacks, so if you aren't sneaking your own in, leave yourself a bit of time. While you enter the cinema from the upper level, when inside, screens 1-6 are downstairs while the rest are upstairs. The screen we went into had VIP seats in the center. Mr. Snarky didn't pay for them as the regular seats are actually quite comfortable and not too far off from the VIP seats in quality. However, we did sit right behind one of the VIP rows and I had the unfortunate experience of having the person in front of me leaning back quite far in his seat... surprisingly there wasn't much room between my seat and his, so I have a small bruise on one of my knees that couldn't escape his seat back. Not sure if you can exit through any part of the mall when the movie ends after closing time as we parked nearest to The Oasis so we wouldn't have to worry about this. Other than that, we were quite pleased with our experience, definitely better than our local cinema.
