Also just found this when i searched Google;

In the legal part of Vue Cinemas it says only this:

10. Hot food brought from outside of the cinema may not be consumed on the premises.



surely sweets and drinks are not hot food so should be ok taking your own?

I can't believe some of you have had bags checked or stuff taken away from you 8O I usually take a small drink and some sweets with me. A bag of haribo is the current fav. I refuse to p*y the prices they charge for their sweets and I don't want to drink a gallon of cola syrup or eat a bucket of popcorn - Weight WAtchers wouldn't allow it.

I read somwhere that food sales create the most profit for cinemas.
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

That's why they don't mind free previews as they know a lot of people will b*y their food and drink.
