Punk-inspired dive bar and restaurant, Cult Wing, have launched a bottomless brunch - and it looks absolutely epic.
If you haven't been to Cult Wing yet then can we politely ask, what are you doing?
Located in the Merrion Centre, it's the place to go for really good tequila and ridiculously good wings - and we can't think of a better combo to be honest, can you?
Much to our delight they have launched a Bottomless Brunch deal where for 90 minutes you can enjoy a selection of delicious food and unlimited drinks, all for just £29.95 per person.

Food wise you can choose two main dishes and a side each from their mouthwatering menu. Mains include their signature Cult XL Wings, crispy Drippin' Tenders and Cauli Punk Wings - all of which can be lathered in the sauce of your choice.
Sauces include Skull Dive Herb, Raving Teryaki, Killer Korean and Jerk Punk (and that's just to name a few). There's a flavour and a spice level to suit everyone at Cult Wing, so whether you fancy tantalising your tongue with some pretty serious heat or prefer to keep it more on the mild side, everyone at the brunch party will be leaving with a smile on their face.

Your two main dishes will be served with your choice of fries as well as zingy slaw, tortilla chips and their signature cult chicken gravy. Opt for Jerk fries, Atomic fries or Gunfire fries, all of which make for the perfect dipping vehicle for the stupidly moreish gravy.
Drinks wise you are truly spoilt for choice, enjoy bottomless prosecco, beer, cider and a selection of soft drinks or push the boat out and sample their iconic tequila cocktail sharing jugs.

Go classic with the Batanga - a delicious concoction of El Tequileno blanco, Cola and lime or if you're feeling fruity opt for the Tequila Punch which features Rooster rojo smoked pineapple tequila, passionfruit, mango and Hooch.
If that has tickled your fancy then make sure to head down there over the next week or so as for the rest of January they'll be offering the brunch for just £23.99 per person.

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!”
