All is not lost, in a spectacular (but fortunate) failure of imagination the developers only used the auditorium as flat ground. They took out the shop and foyer between the street and the auditorium, took out the slope of the stalls and built the kitchens and toilets there, leaving the auditorium space above (as mentioned by Buffer). The pub was built up in the space cleared by demolition, and fortunately of course they kept the tower. In the picture you can see the surviving auditorium and windows into the projection room. As a result, if someone was minded to, it could be the basis of a more viable cinema/theatre/catering venue than the original cinema itself. Just wish I could do it!

The cinema’s café survived until 1970 and was replaced by the Mezzanine Bar

Both the staff at Cinemac and a waiter at Revolution tell me the balcony survives above the restaurant/bar and is locked off.
