Temple Arches Leeds reviews by real event-goers

Review of Chow Down

Great venue, cool atmosphere, good music. Having been to pergola in London several times, I think prices were actually a lot better down south which is very surprising. Firstly, tickets are incredibly overpriced for what you get, and the free drink is a very watered down aperol. The food and drinks inside is so overpriced too, I enjoyed my halloumi starter, but the pasta I was given was genuinely shocking, literally like school food and watery. So not impressed by Sarto- couldn’t complain as wasn’t sure how it would work with the ordering system. My boyfriend’s Vietnamese food was also bland and unflavousome- not what you expect from a cool food truck/festival vibe! If it was cheaper tickets or free entry I would definitely go again as was quite a cool venue, but just far too overpriced for what it’s worth.

Review of Chow Down

Booked ten tickets for my fortieth birthday, 7.30-10.30. We didn't get admitted until 7.45, and with no apology from any of the staff. We were seated, ordered food and drinks, and then waited for the party atmosphere to kick in. It didn't. The venue was half empty, there was no entertainment. The only saving grace was the food provided by the independant traders was nice. After an hour, we all decided to head off somewhere else. Having paid for tickets I feel cheated. Myself and my guests all agreed we wouldn't recommend Chow Down to anyone.

Yes love the new layout. Thought it was a bit more expensive for drinks and food but still enjoyed it.

Review of Chow Down

Fabulous evening with great music, entertainment, food and drinks. Crazy golf was a chalk after a few drinks. Great night had by all.

Review of Chow Down

Everything was good except drinks were a little pricey, no beer was much cheaper than £5.50 which is a little steep, especially when served out of plastic cups

Review of Chow Down

Great for big groups + dog friendly

Review of Chow Down

Drinks took way way way too long, made it almost not worth it, we wanted a covered table but we got put in a back corner basically in the dark in a booth, we wanted a table with a roof over it, not a box.

Review of Chow Down

Nice and chilled. Glad to have table service so we didn't have to queue!

Review of Chow Down

What's not to like, great venue, well organised, good food and drinks and a fab band all adds up to a fabulous afternoon.

Lovely afternoon at chow down, chilled atmosphere and fab music with the New York Brass Band.

Review of Chow Down

I’ve been to Chow Down a few times, but this was the first time I’d bought an evening ticket (7pm-10pm). The QR code system didn’t work and was really frustrating. Hardly any food vendors were online, the options that were available were very limited, and when the food arrived it was cold - Not the service I’d usually expect. The venue was empty by 9pm so overall not the same value that you’d get from a daytime ticket and I wouldn’t go back in the evening again.

Have to say I wanted to leave a review but no place on your page.
This is the second time visiting you yesterday. And not a great experience. 20 minutes late getting in for our booking due to the queues. Food selection - only two vendors who had enough food and items kept disappearing off the menu. Prawns ordered took over an hour to arrive and only after I asked where they were. Drinks also took far too long to be delivered. 45 minute wait for a beer!!!!
Won’t be visiting again. Pity as our first experience was really good.

Review of Chow Down

Great venue but very expensive & table service meant you had to wait quite a long time for drinks, left an hour earlier than we had booked for.
