I visited on a Friday afternoon, and unless ALL the members of staff called in sick, then there’s no excuse for how dirty all the areas were. The communal seating and table areas were messy with food and rubbish stuck to the table. BUT THE TOILETS!!! THE TOILETS AND SINKS LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD BEEN CLEANED WITH A DIRTY RAG! Hardly any tap worked, stains in the cubicles that must have been days old, seats haven’t been cleaned in days, maybe weeks??? Basically, you need new staff/management. Disgusting.

Has a public seating area so we didn't have to eat food in the cold when there was no space in the McDonald's over the road also the slushes from the chippy and Kaspa's desserts are peng

I'm so old I used to work here when it was still the original Schofield's! Can't, in all honesty, say it has improved much. It's a shopping centre. There is not much more to say. Several eating places on the ground floor, some franchised shops and lots of empty units. Just like hundreds of similar shopping centres up and down the country.

I'm giving it just a 3 because of my experience at Gravelys. 5.90 for a small fish and chips and the chips tasted like they had been refried and weren't from fresh potatoes. Environmentally it is very poor because all of the plastic cutlery and plates are thrown away with no recycling On the plus side there was ample seating available. the Core also does have good toilet facilities

It was quieter here than the throng of Trinity! Had fish & chips at Gravels. Why? Because I'm a veggie and they fry everything in oil. This is rare as most chippies fry theirs in dripping. A relaxed atmosphere and a very friendly, calm server. Well worth a visit

Very good restaurants in the core. I go here for Fish and Chips they are halal. There are lots of other food choices here. I just want to add that the public toilets here are really clean and tidy. Hope that helps.

As this place I'd scheduled for closure, the overall feel of the place is one of despair. Always feel empty and unloved when passing through it.

I quite like it - got some nice selections (at least from what I actually saw) so it could possibly be even better, if I'd actually looked around, but I didn't, because I was hungry & needed something before starting work. I went to the Fish and Chips shop, ordered a Large Slush & Small Chips + it was very nice. I might go back there sometime soon and maybe try again, but order something proper next time, like Fish and Chips.

The lifts and escalators here are always broken. The stairwell is sadly often used as a toilet and is rarely cleaned. A few weeks ago there was vomit all of the stairs for the best part of a week. The evening security guards are also quite rude.

Nothing in this Shopping Center other than my Gym. As soon as HMV pulled out the writing went on the wall and it was only a matter of time before it was sold on for some other use. I understand that it'll be knocked down shortly and turned into yet more Apartments thereby accelerating the death of the City Center.

I go for the tahini shawarma in the core.. its in my opinion the best shawarma in leeds, being prepared on fresh bread baked right when we order. And good portion size. The wrap and shawarma portion are big and we all took remmaining home for next meal. It has the most friendliest and kindest owner/ cook . We've decided me and my kids to always have shawarma at this place when when we crave for one.

Very spacious mall and clean, full amazing goods at affordable price.

Had a look around this shopping centre while on a short visit to Leeds. It's in a good central location and there's parking close by. But sadly there was not a great deal to see. Only a small number of shops (they include Matalan, Footasylum, Blacks Outdoor Clothing, Scotts and Poundland) and the centre itself though very clean looked empty and uninviting. There only appeared to be a fitness centre on the top floor. The first floor food court however, reached by an escalator from street level, was very good. There was something here for all tastes including Graveleys Fish and Chips, tempting desserts at Kaspa's Leeds, Spuds 4 U, The Real Viet and other fast food outlets. The seating area was clean, spacious and uncrowded. Enjoyed a nice jacket potato from Spuds 4 U. There are also some clean (and free) toilets next to the food court. Generally needs more shops and atmosphere but it's a good place to come for a quick and inexpensive lunch break.

Apart from shopping for your groceries, the core mall has a wonderful eateries that can offers a satisfactory meal at all time that will keep you wanting to come back.

Always has good stuff from cheap to more expensive goods if you're a casual walker/hiker or whatever it is you're doing outdoors. Staff are always friendly and I've never had a problem finding or getting the right size for something instore.

I really had a good time shopping at The Core the place is beautiful it has a gym and it is family friendly with wide parking places .

It's an odd shopping centre this one, always feels like it will be great when it's got shops. It has some shops, lots of eateries.

Highly recommended. Lovely layout. Small shopping experience, but great selection of shops and eateries. Well thought out and a pleasure to walk around.

Went into One Beyond, nice and clean, staff are always friendly. The core is always clean. Looks like they are going to knock it down. Hope Graveleys moves to another unit.

The toilets need a refurbishment when you, walk in it stinks. One toilet door was missing, most of the toilets are in a discusting state. When you go to waah your hands loads of taps, are not working. Then you can hardly get any water out. The dryers are good. All in all i dont enjoy going to the toilets, all rhe faults is so bad. You nevee see a cleaner, in there all years ive been going.

Amazing place . The have got different restaurants in here ,so you can select your choice. It’s amazing here.

Unless you want food or a toilet there isn't much else. It used to be a great shopping place but not any more. Sad ☹️

Lots more shops inside mainly food court established vendors. Rumour has it they plan to knock the core down and build accommodation. A real shame.

Went in to look around. Really quiet, so ideal for a quick stop at lunchtime. That is until everyone else starts going there 🤣

Went in here today to use the toilets and pretty much walked straight back out again. I went to use the disabled ones and they were all padlocked shut bar one. This one wouldn’t open so I waited for around 10 minutes in case someone was in there, however nobody came out. I gave up and went into the regular toilets… I wish I hadn’t. They stank of stale urine and there was toilet roll discarded all over the floor. I went to the end cubicle on the right which didn’t lock, so tried about 5 other stalls which all either didn’t lock, had no paper in, or were blocked/overflowing. Some I walked past even had no door! Complained about the state of the toilets to the attendant who was present, but he seemed too preoccupied tickling the floor in the same spot over and over with a brush, rather than to listen to the concerns I raised. Due to the state of these toilets I decided to leave and walk up the St John’s shopping centre instead to use theirs, which are far better maintained. On my way out however, two young ladies were heading to use the disabled toilets, to which a security guard stopped them to question where they were going. After they had explained they needed to use the disabled toilet, he claimed they did not look like they had any form of disability and forced them to use the regular toilets. As someone with an invisible disability/illness myself, this interaction has made me wary to visit the core again, as I worry how the rest of your staff are willing to treat other individuals who ‘do not appear disabled’.

Needed the toilet, went in 2 minuits before their opening time and they asked me to leave, explained I really needed the toilet and they still declined entry. In terms of the shops themselves in their, No hate to them theirs some really good shops in their! Including Gravels fish n chips!

Best variety of food, including a vegan restaurant. The core has in my opinion the best chippy in leeds, also a burger king, subway, baked potato shop and ofcourse kaspers dessert which is absolutely phenomenal.

Disappointing. No character anymore & hardly any shops there. I really don't understand why they felt the need to change it form Schofield centre, which had a good variety of shops and a fantastic food court on the top floor. Seems like this is just a space wasted.

Had The Gym, Hot Room, Subway, Burger King, Matalan. Definitely recommend. Clean and hygienic. Friendly staff.

Nice food places inside and there's places to sit... you can access this place if ur in a wheelchair there is also a elevator to take u to different levels in the core ..its actually quite good here nice place if u need to relax and chill

Hmm what's there thats open? Its Not really much to do or see, but the lady at the menkind store was helpful and a few eateries were closed.

Very clean and tidy but could do with extra security staff

Visited kaspas to sample the new menu. Was truly amazing.

What has happened to the old Schofield's shopping centre. The shops on the outside are good but inside, well. Apart from a few, not very busy 'chain' places to eat the place is not worth bothering with. A shame as it used be vibrant with independent retailers.

Highly recommended. Lovely layout. Small shopping experience, but great selection of shops and eateries. Well thought out and a pleasure to walk around.

A lot nicer looking than it used to be and it's actually nice shopping there now...

It was quiet when I passed through, only a few shops but there is a reasonably selection of places to eat.

Excellent place for shopping, eating and drinking, right on the Leeds city center.

They have delicious food, incredible services are provided, staffs are very fast in serving customers,the place is so perfect for chilling.

The shipping experience was ok. There is nothing on the second floor expect a gym.

Need a better selection of eateries not just hot and spicy foods x

Not as good as it was about 15 years ago. Since it was done out it has been empty of people. Not as many shops in there now.

I enjoy the core, very much, but when you are in there you tend to lose service. I had my mobile data on but it didn't work, and your call will be cut due to the lack of service

Lots of great food outlets, KASPA'S ice cream parlour is great, the waffles are to die for.

Just somewhere you pass through, or if you want to use toilets. Nothing much there really.

A good rand of eateries from breakfast to evening meal, fish and chip, Indian, burgers, oriental, spud and pizzas. Good vale. Cleanest public toilets in the city

Quaint little op shop supporting Cancer research with lovely, passionate people working there.

As a slightly out of the centre shopping centre The Core offers a range of brands not found on the high street proper. The centre itself is good tucked away and fitting in around the hill and other shops. Worth a visit if the shop you need is here- prime for outdoor brands.
