Arc in Leeds

Personal encantador y amable gorila. Es una pena lo de la multitud aquí, es un poco elegante para mi gusto.

Apareció en el arco para tomar unas copas Es un lugar grande y agradable con una gran selección de bebidas y comida. Vale la pena una visita.

Acabo de tener un fantástico brunch sin fondo en Manhattan Headingley. Comida fantástica y un gran servicio de Sam, Hannah y Emma. Una gran experiencia lo recomendaría encarecidamente.

Nichole fue tan acogedor, ¡sin duda volveremos! ! ! Manahatta. Este es el lugar para estar para el verano.

Went here for lunch, had a burger and fries which cost about £11 with a lemonade, was ok. The person who served me was friendly, kept being asked if I needed anything.

Came here when it wasn’t so busy. Found some bar staff to be friendly. However, when ordering drinks at the bar, I found that only one side were getting served. I spoke to the duty manager who had no interest. Never smiled and looked like work was a hindrance. This place could be a a decent place if the staff were more friendly and welcoming

Visited the Arc with a bunch of friends for a quiet Saturday catch up. Food was fantastic, great location, good drinks but the real highlight of the day was Alice who works at the arc. Of all the staff she was the ‘one’! Friendly, beautiful smile and very attentive - if I return she will be the reason - it will be like a scene out of love actually!

Bouncer came to me and said I was being aggressive when all I asked is does he want to see my id. Later on in the day he poured a drink over a girl trying to get on. He got aggressive when people from my party told him thats not on. Disgraceful behaviour.

Very good quick drink.. impressed with service and price. Place very busy but staff on the ball and welcoming.

Over priced drinks, cocktails came in a tiny glass full of ice, so basically after a few drinks you were finished. For £7.50 this is a bit extreme. Do not even get me started on the food, the burgers are disgusting and tasteless, wouldn't feed it to my dog. However, the pizzas are quite decent. Went for the quiz, the guy running it needs to take the mic away from his mouth as he is hard to understand. We also kept getting disconnected, which is a nuisance. The staff are average, some of them you will be lucky to get eye contact never mind a smile, but hey ho Very student based, rowdy and loud not really suitable for kids

Sat in here now the pepperoni pizza was fantastic, no problem, however the onion rings were disgusting. I like the fact that they were proper onion rings in batter, but the fact you took them straight out of the fryer and dumped them in the serving bowl was not good. We had to try and dry each onion ring off on napkins as there was so much grease in the serving bowl. Loved it apart from the onion rings, buy some kitchen roll and get rid of the grease before you serve, I’ll be back to see if you do!!!!

The Arc is a distinctive pub that is popular with students and Otley runners alike, this pub should be avoided if you are looking for a quiet pint but the lively atmosphere and distinctive shape will suit some.

The food was off good quality and also the presentation . The staff were friendly and approachable the food came to us in good time

Great food, amazing atmosphere, OK service (our drinks arrived after our food order!) Will certainly return though!

So we came to the arc on Monday 20th November to there being two girls as staff behind the bar. When we checked online the food was served till 9pm and 2 for 1 cocktails all day Sunday to Thursday. So we arrived in a group of 4 to order some food at 8.30, we went to order our food and were rudely told that they stopped food ages ago and that we couldn't order anything. So we left to get some food elsewhere, and came back at 9.30 to order some cocktails to again being rudely told that it isn't 2 for 1 on them as there was only 2 members of staff on. How is this okay turning away at least £50. Will never return again and really annoyed and upset that this place ruined our plans of a nice night of cocktails and food.

We booked upstairs on a Sunday early afternoon for our daughters 30th birthday for family & friends. There was no charge for the whole of upstairs & we could sit outside as it was warm & sunny. We ordered Pizza & Fries for all to share no complaints, friendly, efficient service & good time by all. Well done the Arc

I came to The Arc for a date on 7/10/17 and was served at 11:15 precisely. We ordered a cordial...

Lovely food. Great service both from the bar and on the floor. Nieve needs particular mention. Friendly and welcoming, just...

This is decent pub food. A really nice place to have a meal and drinks with mates, certainly worth eating...

Sólo llamé para bebidas comer mucha gente lo que salió parecía lo suficientemente bueno y he oído una queja no se llame para comida

He visitado y he comido en este bar y grill dos veces, en ambas ocasiones la comida y el servicio han sido excelentes.

Buena comida y cócteles mientras ve el rugby del fin de semana en sus grandes pantallas. El personal era realmente amable y nos excelentes recomendaciones cóctel

We visited on the Tuesday 50% off offer! Ordered a ranch burger and chicken pizza . Freshness and taste of food was top quality. Pizza was huge, disappointed with the burger which came with chips - we thought the portion size of the burger was small. It didn't come with salad either.For desserts we ordered freakshakes - these were really well presented and yummy! In total we paid £15! Perfect value...

Seems like a chilled out bar/restaurants that is always busy due to the students living in headingley, always good food and nice atmosphere to go with your friends.

Good selection of burgers. Served promptly and at great value. The offers are excellent at certain times. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming. I would recommend.

Visited here many a times before a Leeds Rhinos game and you can pick up a decent feed and a pint for under a tenner. Always like the pizzas

I guess the saying you get what you pay for it true ! Service was fast portions good size however salsa watery the guacamole had no taste and the chicken was dried out cardboard! Nachos hardly any cheese or toppings other than lettuce and sauce .Place looked clean and staff were friendly won't be returning in a hurry

Went with my son who is at Uni just round the corner. Had a burger and wedges, was not the cheapest but was good. Nice clean and presentable staff, nice clean venue. Would recommend.....

Great food and excellent hardworking staff. Loved the atmosphere young and lively without being too in your face so good if taking family. Only negative cheap 'cola' draft which was flat. Will definitely go again.

Had a works Christmas night out for 36 people - food was good, drinks were good, service from start to finish from the staff was fantastic

Called in for a drink and ended up having a couple of bowls of nachos since they were on offer. Really enjoyed them and would visit again for them as it's a great offer at 2 for 1 on Mexican dishes. Lager was fine and tables were nice and big, decent decor - good visit all round

So many bars in headingley so it's difficult to find somewhere that's good to eat and drink, unfortunately Arc isn't one. Lots of TVs for the sport, some great table areas and a genuine clean layout so would recommend for drinks. Food was very poor however, bacon was burnt and the whole meal was tasteless. Let's the place down and because of a very limited food menu I thought the chefs must be good at cooking something... my badWould recommend for drinks but for food, head further down the road guys

Me and my lovable rouge flat mate came to the arc tonight trying to rekindle a night in headingley we had months ago.. it was completely trumped by the service we received tonight by Chloe and the two Alices.. my life was completely empty up until stepping into the arc and now I will die a happy man. Kudos to the arc and it's truly exceptional bar staff..

Visited for tea before the T20 and it was full of good natured students in fancy dress having a few pints. Service was decent, food did a job. Nothing special but acceptable enough for a cheap & cheerful nose bag.

Quick lunch with friends. Half the menu was unavailable, which wasn't a great start and barman wasn't particularly friendly. We had sandwiches, which were OK for what they were, but the dessert was great! Huge pieces of cake/waffle with ice cream, cream, sauces, chocolates, sweets etc! Don't bother with a main, just go straight for a dessert!

The food here is really good. Unfortunately it seems like all the draft lagers have a horrible aftertaste and there are always bar flies hovering about. It must be difficult to keep on top of the cleanliness with how busy it gets with students/sports fans but it just never improves even after giving Arc the benefit of the doubt on many occasions. For a nice clean pint avoid Arc, or if you do, keep to the bottled selection, for draft lager/beer head to Head of Steam or Arcadia.

I love this place! Such s great pub to start a night out on. Drinks are reasonably priced and there is plenty of room in both the upstairs and downstairs bars! If you fancy food, that's great too at good prices! Ideal for big groups! You will tend to see a lot of fancy dress parties in here as it's an earlyish pub on the Otley Run.

Visited here for Sunday breakfast whilst staying in the town. Had the large breakfast and it was nice enough perhaps not large enough! Staff where polite and efficient and place clean.

Had drinks here with friends, this place is not nice, bar area all sticky, floor was disgusting, thought I was going to damage my shoes as they stuck to the floor so much, horrid! Not the kind of place to be if you're over 25, the music is too loud & awful & the Guinness in particular was not great as it was watered down, thought the Rekorderlig was too, shocking place! Give it a wide berth, Head of Steam is 100% better!

Absolutely love this place. I'm from Hull, and walking into this place had a proper nightclub feeling. Look forward to revisiting.

Cheesy garlic bread (£3.95) was a good size but hadn't seen garlic it was just bread and cheese and tasted like a pizza box. The plain burger had a pile of slop on it that spoilt the taste of what was a nice burger and the fries were like cardboard. Including a pint of lager and a bottle of cider came to just short of £18 and this included 25% discount (for people going to rugby) massively disappointed and feel like I've been ripped off.

Sitio grande que los fines de semana suele tener ambiente. Cerca del estadio de rugby, está bien para tomar algo.

Came here on a Friday morning on the 2nd day of the test match. We were a group of 10. Emailed a few days before to see if we could book a table and had a speedy and efficient reply. Tables booked and 10 big breakfasts pre-ordered, When we arrived tables were reserved as requested and breakfasts were served in quick and friendly manner. Breakfast was of good quality and reasonably priced.Cricket ground id literally five mins walk down the road so location was ideal for our need. Infact we walked back up at lunch and sat on the upstairs balcony in the sun.Sky sports on lots of TVs around so again ideal for our group of sports fans. Good place and ideal for what we wanted. Will come again if we come back for the cricket at Headingley

When I went here I got a vodka and coke that was quite expensive if I remember I think it was near enough to a fiver and it didn't taste that great either and my friend got one after and said that the coke tasted like syrup so the coke must have needed refilling. Apart from that it is actually quite a nice place if you go upstairs there's this hidden area that is a bit dimly lit but the seats are really comfy and its like a little hideaway.

Group of us had breakfast before the cricket. They open early and are situated just up the road from the ground so ideal meeting place. Breakfast was nice, although bacon could have been done more but our fault for not asking for well done when ordering. Music was good too, 80's !!

Waited so long to be served. Was quite obvious we was waiting and bar man still decided not to serve us until we had to say something. Good atmosphere. Although music too loud for early on. Ordered food. One friend ordered cheesy chips to which she was told oh et don't do that. So she said well you serve chips and you have cheese so could you put some on please then she said they could do that. The top totti fries had literally no cheese on. Good could be a lot better. But I will return as this place has potential.

My boyfriend and I are students in Leeds, and were always intrigued when passing Arc, so thought we'd give it a try. I'm afraid to say that we were left disappointed and I personally wouldn't consider returning. My favourite cider is Rekorderlig, so when I found out it was on draft, I was impressed. I'm afraid to say my glass was filled almost half with ice and it tasted almost watered down before the ice had even melted. Luckily we visited on a Tuesday, so it was 50% off food, as I would have been gutted had we paid full price. We ordered nachos to share for a starter, and a burger each for our mains, but the nachos arrived with our mains, even though we'd specified for them to arrive first. I'm usually a huge fan of nachos but these were enough to put me off! On the menu, they were said to be topped with some kind of chipotle sauce, but they arrived topped with iceberg lettuce and all I can describe as tasting like prawn cocktail - very odd combo indeed. The burger was a sorry story, and although I was aware it was with mayo and coleslaw, I didn't expect it to seep through to the bun and leave it soggy and dripping. The burger itself had a cheap and nasty taste, so much so that I couldn't eat more than a quarter, but the chips were reasonable. Shame about my experience as an ideal location, but wouldn't return for more than just drinks (without ice!) - the two stars being salvaged from the 50% discount.

I have visited Arc many times, on this occasion I went for a cocktail with a friend after a meal. We both chose a sweet based cocktail: bubble gum and drumstick. They were amazing and tasted just like the sweets and included sweets! At the time we visited they were 2 for 1- early evening. I'll definitely go to Arc again because I know the food is good too.

Excellent bar for watching sport. We watched the footy and the cricket at the same time. Had no idea there was an upstairs until I was leaving. Fair price on the beer. Would go again

I live in the area so come here on a regular basis. The 2-4-1 cocktails are great, drinks are reasonably priced, food is also really good! Will be returning again and again

Had some great nights at the Arc, well positioned in the heart of Headingley and does burger and chips well! The recent refurbishment has provided a second outside area for sun and smokers. A solid part of the Headingley night out.

We had an amazing full English breakfast served to is by delightful waiters last Sunday. This is probably the best restaurant in Headingley and the excellent owner Martin, was very hospitable

Have been going to the Arc for years now since it first opened. Always found the food to be nice & staff friendly. Went for a post Christmas catch up lunch with the girls. Ordered food and the usual 50% off offer was on. However was very surprised to find that the portion sizes have reduced greatly, where you once got the serving of the various nachos dishes on offer on a lovely large plate these came in a small oval dish. Burgers / wraps / sandwiches came without the accompanying fries, you could place an order for their new 'mixed fries' house fries, curly fries & sweet potato fries. Not nice at all. It's the first time ever we have questioned would we come back for food. Come on Arc, read the reviews of your customers & listen.

We had a drink here early afternoon and service was OK. We went back here after a few drinks in Leeds to a different place altogether. There were numerous people working behind the bar but were all stood talking in a doorway (in full view of a very busy bar). There was one guy actually serving and trying to keep customers happy but there rest were stealing a wage. After waiting quite a while at the bar without being served, we took our custom elsewhere! Will not be visiting here again!!

I had literally been in the building 2 minutes had a wee and went for a cig outside and I got aggressively told I wasn't allowed back in because I had apparently snuck a bottle of vodka in when I had no bag of any means of sneaking it in and I was also driving so I questioned the bouncer why I wasn't allowed back in and I got told to f off so I asked to speak to a manager and the bouncer said he didn't want to speak to me so I went round the corner and rang the place and the manager was lovely and allowed me back in as it was my friends birthday I appreciate his understanding but I think the bouncer needs to be trained in how to speak to people in a professional manner I am very offended and will not be returning

My friend and myself thought we would have a change from Headingley taps.The staff were friendly but the food was uninspiring and expensive. I had chilli nachos which was bland with little sauce. My friend had a burrito which was equally unispiring.We wont be returning

I’ve been the Arc plenty of times as a bar, but this was a first time eating. Despite being quiet the service was pleasant but slow and even though we stayed at the table for a good 45mins after we’d finished eating the plates are probably still there now.Also, bit of a gripe … When you order a burger of any type at a pub or restaurant you expect more on your plate than JUST a burger. No chips, no salad, actually no cutlery was even provided. Not good.

We were staying close by for the night & fancied a couple of drinks out. It was a friday night & it was very busy! The music was good. Considering it's meant to be a student bar the drinks aren't necessarily cheap, a round of 4 drinks came to £20.00 - which wasn't including any cocktails or doubles. This place is deffinately a spot for the younger generation. Would have liked to of seen it in the day time too, seemed like a nice little venue. However, I am surprised such a big bar is situated here...

Go if you enjoy being ignored by bar staff who just serve whoever walks up and happens to be stood in front of them.

I visited today with my friends for a meal and drinks. I will start with the service .... Took ages to be served at the bar , then when we finally did get served different people kept taking over our order just confusing everything. Just a suggestion maybe instead of getting staff to paint spoons get them to serve . food- very quick , this became apparent why when it came as it was cold and bland and swimming yes swimming in water everything was soggy and tasteless. When the waitress cleared our plates I told her it was awful and she didn't really care. There was practically four full plates of food and no one even apologised.A waste of £50 pounds

Today me and 3 friends took a trip to the Arc to get some food and have a drink. Started good when we saw all the Leeds Rhinos players in but then everything went downhill. Firstly the menu has changed, don't know whether they are trying to be more quirky but it was all disappointing. We all decided we would get a wrap so went to the bar to order. 10 years later and after clearly resembling Casper the ghost we did get served. Service was slow, miserable and gormless. The whole process was tipping me over the edge and by the time it was done with I wanted to punch them all in the face and wash them down with my orange cordial. To top it off there was a member of staff painting spoons. Yes, painting spoons. Food came fairly quickly which was good but when we saw what it was it made sense why. Firstly, these 'new' chips which are described as a mixture of sweet potato chips, normal chips and curly fries.... I say a mixture, they were just fries with 1 curly fry and 4 sweet potato fries and that's being generous. They also tasted like beef. Don't get me wrong I love beef but they were weird. Then we get to the best bits which were the wraps. These wraps must have been plucked out of ilkley lido because they were dripping with water and soggy. On biting into the wraps an unpleasant discovery was found. Not only the fact my hands were drenched from the waterfall pouring out, we found Cranberries. Yes cranberries. Who the hell decided it was a good idea to put cranberries in a sandwich unless it's Christmas. Bacon sandwich please with some cranberries please SAID NO ONE EVER. After removing all the cranberries, we had enough to fill an organic mums treat cupboard for the week. We actually counted out 20 from one wrap and was actually lolling at this point. As if Sunday's aren't depressing enough without finding those in our 'wrap n rolls'. We left most of the food and told the waitress when she asked if was all okay but she wasn't really bothered and her face was like a bulldog chewing a wasp that's just had the trots. We then left and went for a milkshake to cheer us up. To summarise, don't go to the arc for food because you will leave depressed and want to join the alcoholics on the benches outside.

Used to be a big fan of the food here when it was 50% off on a Tuesday, however a recent menu 'revamp' has left an awful lot to be desired. 50% is now gone as they claim the food is cheaper (it isn't) and the quality has diminished drastically. Won't be back here for the foreseeable future.

Went for lunch (on the day of England vs Australia at nearby Headingley) & ordered food for myself & 2 other adults at 13:20. Mine came after 15 minutes, the second after 65 minutes & the third after 100 minutesThey were very busy & very apologetic but it almost ruined the dayTo be fair & I don't feel like being fair I am older than their ideal customer but I found the music far too loud; the lady behind the bar & I could hardly hear each other

Arc is a great place to eat, the food is delicious, especially the waffles. Me and my friend went here yesterday and had a fun time. The only disappointment was the cocktail. There was posters everywhere saying that the cocktails were 2-4-1. I was informed that Long Islands Iced tea wasn't on the offer. The signs aren't clear, there should be a clear indication of what is on the offer and what isn't. It's my favourite drink so I ordered it anyway. When the drink arrived I was disappointed. It was so watered down that the only flavour in it came from the Lemon, not the flavour you expect when getting a long islands iced tea. Our food was lovely but the cocktail put us off staying for drinks so we moved onto The Box which I know from experience can make one mean Long Islands Iced Tea.

Have been visiting Leeds a lot lately as my son is University there we went to Arc for a beer and bite to eat as his digs are in Headingley... best burgers ever.... tasty and as fresh as can be.. and did not have to too long even when the place was packed.. well done all

Good atmosphere, good selection of food and drink available. Staff friendly and welcoming. Service speed is variable one of our party received their meal within ten minutes whilst another was still waiting 20 minutes later. The cocktails are also very good value for money providing you don't go on a Friday or Saturday night.

Ordered several burgers and wraps and all came out in good time, nice food, good presentation and portion, price was fair for the amount given

This place is student centric on Tuesday they have 50% off all food and 241 cocktails.... Perfect! Burgers are excellent all 4 of us ate for under £21 and really enjoyed our meals. Would only come here with friends- never family!

Absolute gem of a place. Either have a cheap meal at any other local pub or come to this bar and have local ingredients used to make great quality food and cheap beer. Always discount deals and clean. Good looking staff too.

£7.50 meal deal with alcoholic drink before 6 mon-fri is very good value, however the house fries were rock solid and the chicken coating with The Colonel wrap was too spicy and mayo would have suited it better than BBQ sauce (not least as there was a BBQ burger on the menu anyway, which my partner had, and was good!). Also strange that you only find out The Colonel is a wrap when it is served, it is not described as a wrap on the menu. This is a cool and lively bar but must try harder on the food

Came here for lunch with work colleagues and I couldn't even eat half of my pizza as it was burnt. Another colleague had to have her salad changed and the general chit chat was about the poor quality. We eat at a sister bar usual and the food there is very good but here was a disappointment.

Student hotspot through the week and busy on the weekend. If you want somewhere in headingley for beers, food and sport then it's well worth a visit.

Great evening in the Arc , atmosphere lovely and staff uber friendly, thoroughly enjoyed our tea there too at really decent price - 12 of us in group and good prompt n 100% satisfied- returned next morning for THE best breakfast i have honestly ever tasted ( some breakfast burger) delicious - definately return here on our next night out in Headingley!!!

Love the drinks in here, great value for money and always a great atmosphere! One on the best bars in Headingley by far! The 2-4-1 on the cocktails helps!

We both had chicken burgers and they were really really nice, quite cheap also (£6.50) with chips and a soft drink.The garlic flat bread was huge and so delicious - Order it !!!The staff were keen and attentive.

Pub really nice shame about the rude young girl bar staff! Doesn't say please or thank you really really rude and wouldn't go back cos of her!!! Shame I couslnt get her name

I have been eating and drink here for years and it never fails to impress! The food is fantastic and there is a amazing selection of drinks. The atmosphere is always good and there is always something going on. I had a burger here last Sunday and it was amazing, also some of the money went to a local charity.

Did not particular look for it, we were just hungry and the place looked good, so we had a goThe menu offers a good variety of dishes, prices are reasonable, at least compared to usual pub rates.It cannot be too bad at all as the place was full of students and it is quite big inside. Our food was actually very good (tried Steak, Salad and a Burger), service was quick and quite friendly, even it was very busy at the time. All good so far, just the tables were a bit sticky, but that seems to be quite normal all over the UK. Perhaps i will never get used to that.No idea about parking as we stayed at a hotel nearby. Would certainly go there again.

I recently called into The Arc for lunch, and every time I've called in it has been very busy. We managed to grab a table by the window and ordered a couple of drinks. We had a brief browse of the menu before deciding on what to order; between us we ordered a pizza and a burger. I had the Pulled pork burger with BBQ sauce and a side of chunky chips. The pulled port was delicious and the sauce was just right. I tried a bite of my partners Sloppy Cajun Chicken and that was very good too.We were contemplating a desert as there were some great options, but the pizza and burger were more than a match!

Ate here recently food was reasonable a little greasy but it was a burger(well 3 small ones as per menu) we had friendly service and enjoyed the banter with the waitress however on occasion we found it difficult on not a very busy evening to get their attention when we required anything and the bill took an age to come.Would go back just may order alternate dish but it's clean and food came pretty quick.

where to start... the arc is a friendly and inviting eatery. I am a big fan of the ambiance and how the lights change throughout the night to create a crescendo of an atmosphere. the promotional offer of 2 for 1 cocktails is sure to get the pulses racing of many money stricken students and the food from around the world shows that they do not discriminate. all in all the arc provides an entertaining evening with the added excitement of the cushioned cave seating area.

Went with a friend to have a couple of good burgers at the Arc. Had heard some good things, and the menu appeared to have a great selection.The atmosphere was good for a lunchtime, was able to grab some good seats and plenty of viewing screens for the rugby.The food arrived in good time, looked quite good but the burger itself was extremely dry. The chips were in a small portion in a trendy little bucket, and it was in no way worth paying a premium for their house special chunky chips.It was better than your average fast food retailers, but way short of the gourmet burgers which are currently being served elsewhere in Leeds.

Went to have dinner as on the tastecard website it is up as an available option but when arriving and ready to order we were told that they don't accept the card any more. Even though on the tastecard website there is a review from earlier this month. The beer is over priced (especially for this area when some pubs do it for more than half what the arc does) but the cocktails were ok. and on Thursday it was 241 so not bad.

Excellent breakfast at a competitive price and very helpful hard working well presented staff. just what we needed after a heavy night celebrating a wedding

Absolute rubbish!!!!!! Over priced crap!!!!! Service was ok but even the staff recommended elsewhere!

If you don't go on a day there are deals on its on the pricey side. Well presented however. My main issue was an ice cream that was £5.25. I thought I'd treat myself with what could only have been something special at that price. Unfortunately it's was worth maximum £2.50. Left a little dissapointed

Recommended for breakfast whilst staying at Headingley Lodge one weekend(opens @9:30 a.m. on Sundays we were told). Good selection of cooked breakfasts available and fairly good service. Staff friendly and accommodating. As a more mature couple not sure that we would have wanted to go here other than for breakfast, when it was quiet.

Great atmosphere, much more of a bar than a restaurant although there's plenty of seating and it's kid friendly. Extensive menu of pasta, meat, burgers, pizza.Had a really nice chicken burger, didn't want onions so they didn't include them, everything is cooked fresh In the kitchen including pizzas and their bases and you can watch it being cooked through a small window. Other diners I was with had fresh pizzas with nice ingredients. Very reasonably priced at around 8.25/70 for a burger with chips. Also had a lovely desert which was £4.95, peanuts butter brownie. Very nice. Not much to say about service because you order at the bar (bit annoying) but the waitress was very friendly.A tip to bear in mind is that the car park round the back of the restaurants offers to redeem any car parking money off your bill... For example, parking for 2 hours costs £2. If you take your parking ticket in when you pay you'll get £2 off your bill. Providing you spend at least £10.00.

Rocked up to the Arc to find it was 40% off the food bill on tuesday evenings.Three of us ordered food, it arrived quickly and was top quality for the price we payed. The make it yourself fajitas were awesome as was the JP burger! We followed the mains up with the waffles from the dessert menu, which were an awesome sickly sweet treat.Good food, service, but probably not worth the normal price tag.Go there when there's discounts on and fill your boots

The ordering at the bar did not work for our table, mixed orders and other tables food arriving throughout. It seemed the same all around, the food was alright and the manager and staff did their best when it went wrong. However my dinner was not great, lots of mistakes and not up to standard when it arrived. It was a busy night because of the rugby but could do a lot better.

We have visited the Arc several lunchtimes now over the last few months and been quite impressed . Firstly let me say that we are not students but in our mid 60's. Previously we had visited for a coffee or drink but decided to have lunch there when a nearby establishment let us down. Apart from quite a good choice of meals on the menu there is a lunchtime deal with a meal and soft drink for £5.95 which can be uprated to a beer or larger soft drink for £1 and also curly fries etc.We have tried several of the meals from the lunchtime menu and have always been very satisfied with the taste and quality. One of our favourites is "The Colonel" which is a wrap with chicken and bacon with a very tasty BBQ sauce., add the curly fries to this and you have quite a meal. The Pizza and burgers are equally good and of course cooked to order. We have taken our friends there a couple of times and they have been impressed also. We shall continue to visit the Arc.

Went here just this morning with my boyfriend and it was so bad I nearly wrote this review whilst still there. Ignored by the young staff who clearly don't care about customer service, especially on a Sunday morning.30 minute wait for 2 breakfasts.Veggie breakfast came with black pudding.Garlic mushrooms which were so garlicky we complained, only to be told 'oh, it's just a herb they use.'Cold coffee which when complained about was remade and then served back to me, again cold.By this point we had had enough and walked out. We've been here many times before and never really had a problem but after this visit, it's very unlikely I'd ever go back.

Went here for lunch one Friday. Easy to get to and quite large.Good selection of food from menu and cheap.Staff were friendly and helpful.Overall, good for the price and as you would expect.

I'm loathe to give Arc a poor review as I've eaten here several times before and the food has been ok. Unfortunately that's the only thing that saved me writing a really scathing review. My burger was like a boot to eat and regrettably my co-diner didn't enjoy their food any more than I did. Cocktails were bland and the service was off, where usually everyone is bubbly. I'll be back, but that's only because I have faith that this isn't going to happen again.

We loved the curly fries, the burger is absolutely tastfull. but we had to wait for our food for quite long time. we will be back

Ok, I am not young, in fact over 50, we came here on my daughters recommendation (with her)there is a bar with music, then the dining area is in a double glazed room.The waitress was really friendly, and knowledgeable about the food on offer.I went for the Gourmet Burger, it was so high that it had a spear through it to keep it up, just like you see on 'Man V Food'.I did have one worry, when taking the order, the waitress wasn't writing anything down,but to my surprise she bought everything we ordered, then bought a selection of sauces and relishes, don't be put off by the music if you are not a teenager or young, this is good food, service with a genuine enthusiastic smile, it's a really good experience. The next evening we visited the Olive Tree, oh how I wish I had listened to my daughter again, she begged me not to go there, me being stubborn, I insisted, it was rubbish. You will always leave a tip at the ARC, no matter how you try, you will not find a reason NOT to.

Called in at the Aec on passing when visiting in Headingly. Found a table and ordered food. Food based very much to attrach the student element with Pizzas and Burgers etc. Food arrived promptly and was very tasty. Would reccomend visiting in the week to experience the half price offers available but well worth the visit

We have visited on a Tuesday which is a 50% night (our only available night) which meant each time a rather long wait . The food is fine,standard US burger type fare, no complaints, not large portions but just adequate. A very noisy atmosphere on a Tuesday but to be expected with such a good price offer. Would we go again...maybe but only if stuck for a restaurant, nothing to make it stand out from the rest

Great place now due to recent upgrade. The beer tap on the tables makes a unique feature and the setting with the new seating arrangements are pretty cool

Always good service and we take advantage of the hugely discounted offer we have with this company. Food always well presented and hot.
