ODEON Brighton

You're here for the movies, not a culinary revelation, but the café tucked inside this West Street cinema does what it needs to do. The usual suspects line the counter – overpriced pick-n-mix, hot dogs that have seen better days, and coffee that's fine if you're desperate for caffeine before settling into those reclining seats. The space feels exactly like what it is: a functional pit-stop between the ticket desk and Screen 8. Staff are friendly enough, though they're clearly more focused on getting the popcorn flowing than crafting the perfect flat white. It's convenient if you're catching a late showing and need something to tide you over, but you'd be mad to make a special trip just for the food.
