In Newcastle upon Tyne, brothers Joe and Ollie Brack introduced ‘Eatflix’ to their bar, Alfie’s, on the outskirts of the city centre, in September 2024 with a screening of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, starring Gene Wilder. Described as a “5D experience where you not only listen and watch your favourite films, but eat along to them”, patrons ate the food within the film as it appeared on the screen, and also enjoyed other food and drink which tied in with lines from the script.
These events proved so popular that the brothers opened a full-time Eatflix Cinema in the city’s Heaton suburb, taking over the former Grosvenor Dance Centre.
Eatflix Cinema is designed to be “old school Hollywood at its best”, with “decadent” red and gold décor, glistening chandeliers and an array of movie posters in the luxuriously appointed auditorium.
The Eatflix Cinema opened on Monday 10th February 2025 with the family comedy “Ratatouille”.
Adult single seats are £75, while two-seater settees cost £165. Interestingly, it is made clear that patrons are primarily purchasing the food and drink, and paying just £1 for watching the film.

On Thursday 16 April 2026 I attended a screening of Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction”. The ceiling decoration of the former dance centre, on the first floor, above a row of shops, lends itself perfectly to that of an auditorium of an ‘old-style’ picture house, and the chandeliers add a really nice touch.
The auditorium is set out in six rows of eight (twin) seats. The front two rows are a mix of luxury armchairs and two-seater settees, the next three rows are of individual tables and chairs, while the back row is high tables and chairs (the auditorium has a flat floor).
At suitable moments during the film six servers pushed trolleys down the left hand side, and quickly served the appropriate food and drink as the on-screen action unfolded. For “Pulp Fiction” I was slightly surprised that the reference to a “Royale with cheese” didn’t produce a response, but that might have come too early. Instead, a burger and drink were served when the hitmen confronted the teenage drug dealers, who had just bought Kahuna burgers and “a tasty beverage”. These were followed by a “$5 milkshake” (a price one of the hitmen marvels at), which was a milkshake with a $5 bill attached, for the scene at Jack Rabbit Slim’s diner; a syringe containing cranberry juice for the ‘adrenaline shot’ scene; blueberry pancakes (mentioned by Butch’s girlfriend); peach iced tea (for the accidental ‘headshot’ in the moving car) and vanilla iced coffee (the “good stuff” that fixer Winston Wolf appreciates). Each ‘course’ was served very efficiently, and it was a very interesting experience!
There were no trailers or adverts. As the shows are based on ‘classic’ films, projection was from DVD/Blu-ray. For this show, at least, tickets were £155 for two in the luxury two front rows and £70 for the other, individual, seats - and it was sold out.
