Wonderful cinema. Staff are all really friendly and helpful.Have all the latest releases and also a Thursday morning Movie Moments where they show recent films for only £2.50, with a free tea or coffee and a biscuit!Normal price is only £3.50 so always good value anyway.We moved down here 8 years ago and wouldn't go anywhere else now to watch films.Fantastic place.

A local independent well run cinema.Shows all the new releases at affordable prices.Thursday morning is a 'warm space' and the management also opens up for live events such as the World Cup FinalOne of Westgate's gems.

I love this cinema! Everything is just great - the staff, the sound, the experience, and the building! True gem in the modern live chaos <3

The VUE in Westwood (a rival of theirs) is a far better screen - pinprick picture with stunning sound - but its pricey and prior to every film, you're inflicted with the most nauseating 'sound' and 'image' bollox for maybe 15 minutes - blasts and crashes and vertigo-inducing images. It's noisy, intrusive and they really should lose it.The Carlton Westgate is all old-school cinema complete with a curtain that closes and opens when the main feature is up - like they used to do in the old days. The new seats in the newly refurbed Cinema 1 have wooden plates to put your cup or carton on - but no cup-holder - which means stuff will inevitably go all over the floor in the dark (a bad design really). But at £3.50 for a standard seat and £4.50 for a premium - it's cheap for sure and fantastic value for money. And No. 1 cinema is big, long and has wheelchair access and slots.Unfortunately their 2 and 3 cinemas are tiny and inflicted with poor picture quality from old projectors I suspect and an inability to exit the row on the left which causes all sorts of problems when someone leaves to go out. While all of that is surmountable - the picture quality worries me - and the sound isn't up to snuff either. I frankly get better on my 4K 55" tele at home.Carlton Westgate is a wee gem of a cinema (great staff, best coffee) but the improvements so obvious in Cinema 1 don't seem to have been applied to 2 and 3. My worry is that in 2024 - a discerning public/movie lovers - will vote with their feet and go in their cars instead to the barn that is Westwood and that would be cruel for such a lovely place. Hope that helps and I hope they're listening...

This is a great cinema plenty of room & brought back a lot of memories, has more soul that the Vue that's for sure... Everyone should support their local cinema while they are still there...Ramsgate had three once now none.. just felt sorry for the staff member, one lady taking tickets & serving customers with their popcorn & treats.The queue of people was long with one lady dealing with everything or so it seemed...

A unique cinema experience. Friendly, intimate and very affordable. We love it, and as residents, we're very proud of the Carlton.
