Advantages: Tuesday any film all day only £4.30

Disadvantages: Rip off on food and drinks

I went to the Cineworld in Braintree today which is the first time i have been to a Cineworld.

It's situated on the Braintree shopping village and it was quite busy so finding a car parking space was a bit tricky. Once we did this we had to queue for our tickets but it did have a great offer on so i think this is why it's such a busy evening. All tickets all day on a Tuesday are £4.30 which compared with the usual £7.70 they expect is pretty good for a cheap night out....

Cheap that is unless you want drinks. I asked for a medium Fanta and was told i could upgrade to a large for only 30p more - and to be honest i think they just filled the larger one up with more ice so i wasn't impressed.

My girlfriend and i shared two scoops of ice cream and the whole lot came to £8.35 - nearly as much as the tickets for the film! There is a sign saying please do not take drinks of food purchased elsewhere beyond a certain point but in future i will make sure to take a bottle of water with me and we'll get our Pic n Mix at Tesco as it's such a rip off!

Although it was busy we managed to get good seats and enjoyed the experience as a whole. I'll definitely go back on a Tuesday for this deal but i wouldn't go at any other time.

Summary: Good on a Tuesday for a cheap night out but take your own food/drink!
