Drinks & Nightlife
Westway Cinema
Great place - all the most recent films but at the astonishing price of £4!! And with a good old fashioned ice cream service in the cinema space as well as bar for drinks to take in... naturally the prices are also VERY reasonable.
Great atmosphere, sometimes music/food. Full of locals with ages ranging from the young to the ancient - plus a fine range of dogs!
