Having worked in events, I have used the Arc on many occasions to provide outside catering and they have always been reliable and good. Also reasonably priced. Bryan goes above and beyond to provide good service. Have never eaten in the cafe, which is a bit of a greasy spoon type place, but have been in there to purchase sandwiches to takeaway and the place is always scrupulously clean, as is the food preparation area which can be seen from the counter. Only one downside, I once ordered a panini and had to cancel it because I saw the cook frying the onions to go into it on the griddle with the beefburgers. If like me, you are vegetarian then only order things that do not need to be fried.

Highly recommend. My brother, sister and I recently treated our parents to a full weekend of mobile catering delivery to celebrate our parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. The service and food have been fantastic. The Arc certainly made this weekend very special for our parents and we can not thank them enough for providing 5 star hospitality. 👍👍

Just had a really tasty meal delivered, so welcome. Husband and I are vulnerable, therefore quite housebound and I do like a few breaks from cooking now and then. Thank you to The Ark, but I wish the meal description was more detailed because I had put a couple of Yorkshire puddings in the oven not realising they were included. Oh and the stuffing was yummy.

This breakfast was delivered to us with no delay and it was absolutely FAB. We ordered two small breakfast - and the sausages where banging!!!! and we inhaled the whole thing. Would absolutely order from here again. And the man who delivered to us was VERY LOVELY. You guys are the best. Will be ordering from you soon again.

My son ordered a breakfast to be delivered this morning and the order was placed just after 11am and showed expected time of delivery to be 12.40 .... bit excessive but as long as you know roughly how long it’s fine. It is now almost 2pm and the driver left not long ago. When my son rang the cafe he was told to complain to Just Eat!!! Very poor and he refused the order when it did arrive as it’s lunch time now so if you are hungry don’t order from here !!!

Stopped in here for s breakfast am from Grimsby and never tried the place. After ordering a large breakfast and a bottle of Diet Coke which come to £7.30 I passed the guy who I believe was the owner £8 he counted the money into the till and said I only passed him £7. I never argued although am 99% sure he was at fault so passed an extra £1. This was after waiting five minutes to be served with no cue. There wasn’t many people in there when my breakfast come my beans and tomatoes was both cold. The rest of it was very average. My overall opinion is I won’t go back for several reasons. One the time to get served. Two am sure I was ripped off a £1. Lastly the food wasn’t even warm. Also I wasn’t asked once if my food was ok I just walked out and decided to post a review on here.

We recently had food delivered from the Arc, after I'd heard how good it was, and I have to say that we were not disappointed. The hot food was not only still very hot, but in huge quantities, beautifully cooked and absolutely delicious. The cold sandwiches were also enormous, packed with fillings and tasted wonderfully fresh. It was also lovely to see that they sell local products like Piper's crisps. I do think the Arc is a little more expensive than other similar cafe's but I'm a strong believer that you get what you pay for and the food from the Arc was worth every penny. The only slight issue we had was that I ordered a panini which, when it arrived, looked more like a baguette that had been squashed in a panini press and wasn't to my taste at all - my husband enjoyed it though. Apart from that one little blip, everything else was much more than we expected and we'll definitely be back again.

Was not very impressed, A little expensive compared with other cafes for the amount of food. Must admit the coffee was fairly decent though.

While visiting Grimsby at the weekend we stopped for breakfast in The Arc. Not being from the area we used google to find a local cafe for breakfast. We weren't disappointed, the breakfast was great. The cafe was particularly busy with takeaway business, which demonstrates the locals like it. Would recommend.

Ordered a buffet meal for a family get together on Mother's Day. From the very first contact with The Arc all communications were quick and friendly with Bryan quite happy to answer our questions. The food was delivered right on time and was all very fresh and well presented. We would have no hesitation in using The Arc again or recommending the to any other customers.

Very un happy with our order they have stopped adding salad and coleslaw and giving you it separate and charging extra, very over priced for what you get three of us ordered and was over £15 I'm sorry but this is a joke we have never had any problems with them before this so don't see why they have changed it all- money grabbing also lady on phone was very rude and blunt

One of my first pay day treats is a trip to The Arc for breakfast, whether it be for a sit down fry up or a bun to take out, I always leave completely satisfied. Great value, great food and always pleasant staff. If you like a breakfast out you must visit The Arc!

Many thanks to Bryan and his assistant. Catered for mum and dads diamond wedding celebration. Food was served bang on time and was of the highest quality. Nothing was too much trouble. Even cleared all the rubbish away. Mum and dad were overjoyed and we would definitely do it again. Thanks again.

Food is always freshly cooked to order and served with a smile. Great to pop in, ready their newspapers while having a leisurely Sunday brunch.

Pedimos baps grandes de desayuno varias veces y, a pesar de ser una distancia considerable arive siempre caliente y sabrosa. Muy buena relación calidad-precio y la calidad de sus ingredientes. Lo único que puedo decir es que ofrece la oportunidad de croquetas de patata como una abundante adicional en las baps? Como es posible pedir croquetas de patata con su desayuno normal.

Acaba de llegar mi comida. Pedimos una salchichas y bacon un pan. Todo lo que puedo decir es evitar este lugar. Fue por debajo de lo normal. El pan era difícil en el fondo como se que descongelar la carne estaba grasienta y no mucho....

I recently read a review on here about how good The Arc was, so I thought I would give it a try, all I can say is that I shall not be returning, after having to pick something different as they didnt have what I wanted, the food could only be describe as plain slop!! I now I have an upset stomach, maybe this was a one off but I will not be taking my chances there again.

I've been to the Arc 3 times now and there is no denying how amazing the food is and how quick the service is. There is just one flaw though that stopped me from giving them 5 stars.The first time I went in, there was about 2 tables eating (so not too busy) and the ladies behind the counter where busy cooking etc. I stood at the counter and they both looked at me and said nothing.I can understand that they are busy and can't serve me straight away but just a little 'Hi, we will be with you in a moment' wont deflect them from what they are doing.I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a one off but unfortunately this happened the other 2 times I went in. I almost feel like I'm a burden to them stood there waiting.Once my food is ready they just put it on the side and call the order out and walk away.Like I said, the food is amazing, the service is quick but I always prefer a place that makes me feel welcome and are friendly. It makes such a huge difference to the place.I will give it one more go because I live close by but if it happens again, I'm sorry I just wont feel welcome.Don't rely solely on your food, service is what people love about these little cafes.

Open Sunday mornings which is a bonus, a great place to have a breakfast bun cooked fresh, using fantastic Lincolnshire sausages. Prices are very reasonable a large bun with 2 fillings for £2:45 or a medium with 3 fillings for the same price very filling.

Probably the best place for breakfast in Grimsby. Freshly cooked local produce, always hot, always tasty. Sometime it is very busy and you may have to wait a few minutes for your order but it is definitely worth the wait. Friendly staff who remember you, always helpful, nothing is to much trouble. Excellent value for money.

This place has changed over the years, after last year (2023) I wasn't sure if I wanted to come back, but I'm glad it did. Myself and mostly Gluten Free family had lovely carvery. - Good Cleanliness - Decent Atmosphere - Nice Setup - Meat was cooked to perfection. 🤌🏻 There's were however a things that wasn't particularly great... - I was the only person in the line for a carvery and I watched 12 minutes go by. - The roast potatos were VERY crispy. - No more refillable drinks! I got very annoyed standing there, I have a blue badge due to my disability and my lordosis wasn't doing great but I managed. I know people that wouldn't be able to manage that kind of wait which could take away their independence. Admittedly I only had one roast potato, I like to think I pick the ones that look the best and look fluffy. But the texture and taste wasn't great. Could have been a bad pick, bad batch or just a bad day. I have really enjoyed them in the past. For a refillable drink it only cost 15p more than a regular pint of pop. 😬 So I was shocked to find that there is no more refillable.

Sourdough with starter was like a rock, tried to cut, all over the table. Main course fish was average. Main course was lukewarm, cous cous was cold and clumpy, flat bread was like cardboard, salad was fine! Expensive, didn’t complain but would never return or recommend
