We came in here for late lunch by pure chance and did not regret it! The food was great, made quickly with a menu offering a wide range of dishes satisfying many dietary needs. Our food was fresh and tasty, while still being very reasonably priced and so were the drinks! The staff was very friendly and kind, making the atmosphere even more pleasant. The way this restaurant is decorated was for me the best part, dimmed lights and maximalist decor on the walls gave the place a bistrot type feel. It felt very inviting and comfortable! I would definitely come again and would recommend this place for anyone looking for good food in a relaxed environment!

We had a very long wait for our food, at least 30-40 minutes, but we were told this prior to ordering, so our choice to stay. Chips are always served in a tin cup, lined with grease proof paper. However, when the chips are tipped out on the plate, there really are not many. On this occasion, not only were there only a few chips, they were cold. We spoke to a server but were told it would be 45 minutes before they could replace the cold chips and/or allow us to buy a separate portion of chips. My question/suggestion to the owners of Arcado Lounge (and other places in this chain) .....if you were to do away with the tin cups, there would be less washing up. If you were to do away with the grease proof paper, there would be less paper waste. Doing away with both of the above would, not only be better for the environment, but less cost to yourselves AND that cost in savings you could pass on to your customers in the form of......more chips on the plate!!!! I really do not know anybody who loves your tin cups with just a few chips in. Other than the situation with the cold and lack of chips....the burgers were good. Great Gluten Free range, but they always tell you that they cannot guarantee the food is completely GF because there might be cross contamination. If you have a serious gluten intollerance, do not take the chance eating here.

Could 100% be a nice place. But the price doesn't match the quality of food at all. I got the lunchtime deal with the panini and soup, neither one was very good. The panini wasn't toasted, just warm and the soup was just watery tomatos. We also got the Sausage & Egg Breakfast Muffin. This was just rubbish, it was one sausage, a microwaved egg and two/three slices of cheap cheese. It took a whike to arrive considering what it was. The person who brought us our food seemed to be the only one actually doing any work. They asked if we wanted any sauces and we said yes, he never came back with them because he then had to move on to another table. Despite being 2 other visible members of staff sitting around. We also had a dirty mug left at our table as we were told to sit wherever, it wasn't removed untill after we left, despite people collecting other glasses.

Unfortunately our experience wasn’t great on Sunday evening. Overall the food was so bland, and looked like it had been sitting around for a while. I had to ask for the remaining bits of our food several times, and I still didn’t receive it all. When i said the carrots served with the humus were soggy and old, and I wasn’t happy giving them to my child. I saw and heard the chef and waitress mockingly discussing it. We got even worse carrots back! Carrots that you can bend/are brown/haven’t been peeled should not be served and I’m surprised any chef would allow that to come out of a kitchen let alone for a child. The waiters were lovely, it’s a fun Themed and relaxing place for everyone, kids included. But wouldn’t eat the food again particularly from the chef who looked like he would rather be doing anything else but working there.
