A bar in Leeds is throwing a mega bottomless brunch party for the Love Island 2021 final and it sounds amazing.
There'll be a Love Island-themed playlist, a villa-themed menu, and free-flowing drinks to help you get the party started in proper Love Island style - plus a huge screen to watch the last episode on together.
If you've been hooked for the last eight weeks, then this is a mega way to see the series out on a high.
Serving up fun dishes that nod towards popular sayings on the show, the banter here starts from the off as you get stuck into treats like 'What a melt' wrap, 'come for a chat' chicken and the hilairiously-named 'doing bits' burger.

It's not all gimmicks, though, the food does sound pretty decent too. There's a plant-based 10" Moving Mountains vegan hotdog loaded with vegan cheese, pickles, mustard, ketchup and jalapenos for the vegans, a Majora sunshine power bowl for those on a health kick, and a fun fish and chips twist with Katsu curry for those who just want to go all out on the carbs.
And that's not all. There are also some 'Casa A'More options' to be found here too - ranging from a 'coupling up' chicken katsu curry to a 'factor 50 frites' dish of sliced fillet steak, skin-on sweet potato fries, melted cheese, garlic, mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.
Elsewhere, further tempting options include the 'Chaldish' chicken with smoky maple and chorizo glazed half chicken, creme fraiche and skin-on fries, and a 'My type on paper' platter of loaded nachos, sticky chicken skewers, halloumi fries and salt and pepper calamari.
We think you'll agree, it all sounds pretty mega. Add in a nail-biting Love Island finale and some free-flowing drinks, and it looks set to be one of this summer's most raucous events.
Drinks choices range from everyone's favourite party cocktail, the Aperol Spritz, to pints of Coors and glasses of prosecco.
There's also a special Love Island 'Moving Mad' cooler, made from gin, mint, St. Germain, elderflower and prosecco; and listed in the T&Cs you'll find some more spritz options too: ranging from flavours like orchard apple to wild berry and orange blush.
Priced at £29.95, tickets include your entry, bottomless drinks, and one dish from the brunch menu.

Get Baked’s viral ‘Bertha’ cake has a sister on the way – and she sounds just as cheeky
She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
