Kick the like of these low lifes out not someone that wants to take a few sweets in. Thank you all for letting me let off some steam but every time iv thought about it today iv felt angry.

I would have thought the cinema staff would have a duty to ensure that order is maintained during screening and unruly members of the audience to be ejected from the cinema. You complained but staff failed to act so you have a good argument for a refund. You could even go back to the cinema at a later date with a view to taking it up with the manager and demanding some form of compensation or refund. I would.

They could argue that as a commercial business they expect, and indeed have a right, to generate revenue and profit by selling sweets and drinks from their own premises and that customers who bring their own food are undermining that part of their business. It would be the same if you wanted to take your own sandwiches to a pub that also serves food, the management would be entitled to ask you not to eat your own food on their premises even though you were also buying a couple of pints of beer.That would seem reasonable to me, if we were to look at the prices pubs charge for a small glass of coke, or an orange juice or even a bottle of beer (£3.50 where I live for a small bottle of carlsberg) then the prices cinemas charge start to look not too bad in comparison.Of course one could go to Tesco Metro and buy a can of coke for about 50p and a bottle of Carslberg for 99p and have it at home. I guess we all have a choice, if we think something is too expensive then we don't have to buy it at all. If Cineworld are saying no food from outside I would say that is a good thing if it prevents people bringing smelly Big Macs and fish and chips into the theatre, I fail to see how they could police and prevent people taking in the odd bar of chocolate or packet of sweets in your pocket but if you are blatantly trying to enter the theatre with a very large picnic of anti social food then I think its reasonable for the cinema to say no.
