DESCRIPTION –
The iconic former Dunfermline Ballroom was fully restored with permission to turn the club into a ‘world-buffet-style’ restaurant granted in October 2016 before the proposal became reality in December 2018.
The Kinema began life as a cinema in 1915 and was transformed into a music venue in 1938. The iconic former Dunfermline Ballroom and The Velocity Nightclub was the venue which played host to stars such as David Bowie, Elton John and The Supremes.
The Kinema underwent a massive refurbishment and opened in December 2018 as the home of Kinema Restaurant, welcoming thousands to a modern and stylish ‘world-buffet-style’ restaurant with curated dishes from around the globe, including Chinese, Thai, Italian and Mexican giving diners a fabulous choice of cuisines and dishes to suit all tastes. Since then, there has been a completely new roof fitted in 2021 by Braisby Roofing Ltd with a 20 year Guarantee.
