With pub classics like fish and chips, burgers, pizzas and salad on the menu.
Eating out for less than a fiver feels unheard of these days, but two Leeds bars are ensuring that dining for less than a supermarket meal deal is still a possibility, despite the cost of living crisis, with an exciting £2.99 meal deal.
Revolution Bars, which has two sites in Leeds city centre on Call Lane and Electric Press is offering the cut-price menu in a bid to 'put two fingers up to the cost of living crisis.'
Promising change from a fiver for its Leeds customers all summer long, the bar and restaurant is serving up the likes of fish and chips, burgers, wraps and pizzas for under £3.
Customers can either book or simply walk in and ask for the Meal Deal menu, which features five of Rev's most popular dishes all for £2.99.
It doesn't stop there, either, with more deals on drinks meaning you can add a pint for £2 and still come away with a smidgen of change.
The offer is available at the majority of Revolution Bars across the country. Revs Oxford Road in Manchester shared the following images on Instagram as a sneak peek to the menu...

Soft drinks, meanwhile, can be added for £1.50 for those who don't want alcohol with their meal. The offer is available throughout the week from Sunday to Friday during food service hours.
Revolution has said: "We're not just flipping burgers; we're flipping the script on the cost of living crisis with a menu that will make your wallet jump for joy while your taste buds do a little victory dance.
"Choose from our legendary burger, tantalising wrap, classic fish and chips, fresh Asian salad or ‘can’t beat it’ margherita pizza.
"Good food shouldn't break the bank and a great time with your friends doesn't have to be expensive. So, come on down your stomach and your wallet will thank you."
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
