Revolutionising bottomless brunches with an offering of unlimited food and drink, Hoist House is serving up a huge selection of pizzas with a whopping FIFTEEN different drinks.
Everything about this bottomless is supersized, and no one is complaining. It's a rare opportunity to each and drink as much as you can squeeze in without compromising on quality- the pizzas here are packed with flavour, as are the cocktails.
Lasting ninety minutes with sittings available Monday - Saturday, this is a bottomless experience that will leave you stuffed.
There's twelve different pizza options, including the Tuna Supreme, a tomato base with mozzarella, tuna, sweetcorn, olives, red onions and peppers; BBQ Pulled Pork with sweetcorn and the Veggie Supreme, all pictured below.

Alongside classic margaritas and pepperoni flavours, brunchers can choose from exciting options like BBQ with cajun chicken and the 'N-Doo-Ya' piled high with Nduja and mozzarella.
The El Bastardo is another standout favourite, and offers a subtle kick to a meat-lover's dream: think pepperoni, chillis, jalapenos and nduja on a bed of tomato and mozzarella.
The new menu also includes tasty options like the Spring Chicken with spring onions, and chicken slices with olives and green pesto, as well as Chicken Yeeros with tzatziki and chilli sauce- all of which can be sampled during your bottomless visit, so long as you can finish them.

If that's not enough, there's cheesy garlic pizza bread on hand as a starter too.
Clearly, the benefits of this bottomless are obvious. There's over 180 combinations of pizzas and drinks to choose from and you can test out as many as you like during your bottomless brunch sitting.
Long gone are leafy salads and tiny brunch portions: this is the bottomless where the food options are just as exciting as the beverages.
Drinkswise, the choices here are just as overwhelming. Expect the likes of Aperol Spritz, as well as elevated alternatives to mix up your ninety minute sitting like a Hugo Spritz: which comes as a refreshing alternative with elderflower liqueur.

In addition to these summer-style drinks, there's Peach Bellinis, Mimosas and free-flowing Prosecco on offer, as well as a vast selection of soft drinks and mocktails.
If that's not enough, there's Tanquerary gin, Gordons pin gin, Absolut vodka, Captain Morgans rum with mixers as well as passionfruit martini mocktails, 0% Heineken, Cornish Orchard Cider and Hoist Houses' own lager and wine options.
For those looking for an alternative to the classic cocktail choices, this bottomless also includes house lagers, ale, cider and wine: making it one of the few non-stop alcoholic servings to include a variety of options that will suit all drinkers, regardless of their preference.

According to a report from bottomlessbrunch.com, a company that specialises in understanding the best bottomlesses across the UK pronounced Hoist House as the second best in Leeds for students. The bar scored highly across availability of bottomless brunch, drinks selection, and proximity to the main university campus (0.7 miles).
As part of the study, each of Leeds' boozy brunches were marked against a number of categories, including: the number of restaurants offering brunch, menus catered to vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, and considered every option carefully- so this title comes after serious consideration.
And it's not difficult to see why Hoist House is a bottomless to be celebrated: the Wellington Place bar is one of the very few to offer unlimited food and drink, plus there's fifteen different boozy and soft drink options to choose from.

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.”
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!”
