Leeds is truly blessed with a bottomless brunch for every occasion, even a Sunday roast.
When it comes to bottomless brunch experiences, we know our city has the best there is. From serious competitive drinking at bottomless Leeds United games to a light brunch and Prosecco for the 'gram, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy.
Just when you think you've heard it all, Taag have a Sunday Brunch club that offers a bottomless Sunday roast dinner, known as the Allure bottomless brunch.
Available on it namesake day, guests have the option of classic meats: chicken, beef, lamb or a meat-free nut roast, that is served with rosemary and thyme potatoes, honey glazed carrots and parsnips, seasonal greens and helpings of rich gravy to pour over.
There's even a dessert menu with sticky toffee and custard or a strawberry and champagne jelly to tuck into after your main.
To wash all this down, the main reason for attendance: the bottomless drinks list. Think Prosecco by the glass, beer, a Bellini (of five) or taste the house cocktail, Taag on the Beach, made from vodka, schnapps, OJ and cranberry juice.
If that's not enough for your Sunday, expect plenty of fun and games from the moment you arrive. There's giant playing cards, Jenga stacks and even a huge Connect 4 board is available for you and a mate to play. All these games are available to play whilst dancing to the beat of Taag's resident house DJ.
It goes without saying that any bottomless at Taag is very social media friendly, but if you needed any more proof, you only need to look at the flower walls, perfect for a selfie or the personal photographer on-hand to capture every special moment of your bottomless brunch experience.
Taag state that: "Sunday Funday is finally back in Leeds. Every week our chefs prepare an enticing roast dinner accompanied by bottomless drinks and music to create the best vibe in Leeds".
All this, plus plenty more surprises on the day for just £30 a head- it's a bargain compared to some of the other options our city has to offer. Booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment, more information can be found on the Taag website, including how to book a table for your next bottomless.
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.”
The Swine That Dines announces the official opening date of its brand new restaurant
Clementine Hall
Much-loved Leeds Bistro The Swine Bistro, formerly known as The Swine That Dines, has moved to a bigger space in Headingley.
Although it’s gone through a few name changes over the years since launching as The Greedy Pig cafe in 2012, this independent spot has long been a firm favourite for Leeds locals for some time now.
Run by chef couple Jo and Stu Myers, they’ve been operating out of North Street where it’s all about cooking seasonal produce simply and with an added ‘little bit of sunshine’.
But now Swine Bistro has moved up over to Headingley, taking up a unit previously occupied by Jam hairdressers on Otley Road.

And the time has finally come for them to open their doors, as they announce their first service will take place on Friday 4 April with bookings open from today, Thursday 20 March.
The Myers will be welcoming head chef Kirsty Cheetham, who won Observer Food Monthly’s Best Sunday Lunch award in 2018 and 2022 when she ran The Queen o’t owd Thatch in South Milford, Leeds.
The expanded space in the restaurant has allowed the team to curate a bigger wine list which will include natural wines from Wayward Wines and Latitude Wines as well as local beers from Ilkley Brewery and Horsforth Brewery.

The team remains passionate about locally sourced ingredients and has partnered with a variety of Yorkshire suppliers including R&J Yorkshire for its fresh meat, Tarbetts fishmonger, cheese from George & Joseph cheesemongers and beans from micro roaster, Chipp Coffee Co.
Jo Myers, co-owner of the Swine Bistro said: “It’s taken a huge amount of time and effort to realise our dream to revamp what was previously a hairdresser into a fully functioning kitchen and restaurant. It’s been a wild ride but we’re excited, and slightly nervous, to finally open our doors.
“We love the vibe in Headingley and the time out has allowed us to have fun with our menu as well as take part in lots of essential taste testing of ingredients and drinks from our brilliant local suppliers. We can’t wait to welcome guests into our new restaurant!”
