This Leeds Bar are hosting a Rocky Horror themed Bottomless Brunch on Halloween
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey to the only bottomless brunch any Rocky Horror Picture Show fan show be attending this Halloween.
This Halloween brunch is the perfect spot to spend the spookiest day of the year, but you may find yourself shouting "If only we were amongst friends... or sane persons" every once in a while.
On Sunday 31 October, grab yourself a place at the only Rocky Horror Picture Show brunch you'll want to attend.
Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that rock n' roll. Make sure to come in your finest fancy dress and shoes you can actually dance in as this fun-filled afternoon will have you on your feet for quite some time.
Combining the classic Rocky Horror Picture Show with the horror of Halloween: the two sittings at 11am and 6.30pm will have you the time warp again and again, regardless of which time you choose to attend.
Expect singing, dancing and even a Rocky Horror themed quiz to find out who the true fans of the Picture Show are. There will be prizes for both best dressed and top scorers, so come prepared to wow the judges with the answer to the question: whatever happened to Fay Wray?

All this time warping will surely work up an appetite, so tuck into a delicious brunch fit for any one of the cast.
Choose from a traditional Brunch Grill: your classic meaty English breakfast or opt for a gluten free version. Vegetarians and vegans will also be well catered for with a smashed avocado dish topped with tomatoes, chili flakes, coriander and Sriracha sauce.
If you're more sweet than savoury for breakfast, dip into a stack of pancakes layered with bananas and blueberries, with plenty of jam and nutella to pour over.
Prefer brunch to be bottomless? Well, it is Halloween after all. Upgrade to keep the booze and soft drinks flowing for the full experience.
Classics like Aperol Spritz, prosecco and Amstel will be available in the bottomless upgrade, in addition to Ketel V&T, 0% Heineken and selected soft drinks.
It wouldn't be a Halloween bottomless brunch without a Bloody Mary though, so take full advantage of the endless cocktails available and grab yourself a spooky mix to get into the Halloween spirit.
Although, that's a rather tender subject, another slice of brunch anyone?
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.”
