Dropped into The Arc in Headingley, Leeds for lunch between meeting’s recently and tried out an Arc Burger, lots of burger, nice juicy meat, tasty bbq sauce and great onion rings, served with a nice mini bucket of chips on the side. It was very good and reading the blurb in the menu they source locally. Friendly, fast service, great spot for lunch. Couldn’t tell you what the beer was like as it was coke only for me!!
From the menu “The Guv’ner 12oz £10.95, Our iconic double burger coated in melted, Monteray Jack, smoked BBQ sauce, bacon & mayo topped with onion rings.”

Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast
Does your local Pub, Hotel or B&B serve a Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast?
When staying in accommodation the last thing I remember about a place is the breakfast, not the clean rooms or the chocolate on the turned down bed, the breakfast. If served a rubbish breakfast after a pleasant stay somewhere, all you remember is the dodgy sausages !
Well now you can look out for, or suggest to your favourite B&B that they serve a Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast, your guarantee of a truly local breakfast made with quality, locally grown or homemade ingredients!
Designed to encourage hotels, B&Bs and cafes to source more regional produce, the Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast scheme is only open to those who source 5 ingredients or more regionally – look out for the distinctive Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast logo.
The scheme continues to go from strength-to-strength – capitalising on the growing interest in sourcing and serving more locally produced food with all the benefits of few air miles and a healthier, greener environment – not forgetting the great, fresh taste!
If you would like to serve Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast’s then get in touch with Paganum to supply all your Yorkshire Breakfast ingredients and then register with the Deliciously Yorkshire Regional Food Group to promote your quality local breakfast.
