We got back from the Leeds Festival last night. I'll post some photos and comments when I get time - probably back-dated to when things actually happened.
Update:

We've walked past this place lots of time but had been put off by the loud music coming through the front doors. It was much quieter this time so we ventured inside.
The restaurant isn't licenced but they have an extensive range of soft drinks, including freshly made fruit smoothies. We shared a mozarella and balsamic onion garlic bread starter, which was very good with lots of cheese stuffed inside. We then took advantage of their mid-week £4.99 pasta and pizza offer, and had a couple of 12" pizzas (wood fried according to the sign outside) and a penne pasta dish.
At full price, most main courses are around £7 each, which is good value. When the £5 offer is running, they become amazing value for money. An optional 10% service charge is added to the bill, but as the food was great and the service was friendly, we had no objection to paying it. This was in stark contrast to MYO where they added a compulsory service charge and illegally tried to force us to pay it. As a result we decided to never return to MYO but we're certainly going back to Aqua in the future.
They have a website which lists their menu and prices: www.aqua-food-mood.co.uk

I totally disagree with you im afraid. My party was ruined at aqua, due to the food not being cooked properly. raw fish and yesterdays rice. their was 6 of us and we were crammed onto a table which was quite small. the staff we found were not very helpful and the food took ages to come. it was my choice of restaurant and i get penalised to date from my fellow colleagues who then went out to nandos to have a proper meal. what a liberty!!

I was there again last night, as part of a group of 50. The food was excellent. The service might have been a little slow but the restaurant was open for normal service too, so they were kept very busy. Everyone we spoke to liked it.
