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.
