Food & Drink

We don’t sell popcorn. It makes our carpets sticky and the cinema smell of burnt vegetable oil. However, you will be greeted by the aroma of fresh coffee, a fantastic art deco bar and handmade cakes!

The theatres are licensed for alcohol which means you don’t have to rush your drinks in the bar or pour them into plastic glass when the film starts. In fact if you’re lucky enough to bag a sofa you can text the bar your order during the film and we’ll serve you at your seat.

Where possible we source all of our snacks and treats from local, independent supplies. A selection from our menu is listed below.

Absinthe Fountain

The Electric Cinema is proud to be associated with La Fee Absinthe.

We are only one of a handful of establishments in the country to serve Parisian absinthe using a traditional fountain.

These fountains were found in France in the 19th century and it was not uncommon to see one at each end of the bar pouring four glasses simultaneously.
