One of Headingley's most popular restaurants are now hosting a weekly bottomless brunch just in time for summer.
Heaney & Mill, located on Otley Road in Headingley, was founded in 1966 as a photography studio by Ken and Wendy Heaney. Still owned by the same family and operating on the same site, they reopened as an independent restaurant and cocktail bar in 2017.

Since then they have gone from strength to strength and have built up a fantastic reputation of serving homemade, traditional British dishes made with the highest quality ingredients from trusted local suppliers.
To our delight, they are now hosting a weekly Bottomless Brunch every Saturday and we cannot wait to get down there.

The offer will take place from 12 - 5pm every Saturday and includes one dish from their brilliant brunch menu and 90 minutes of free-flowing booze, all for just £29.95 per person. We can't think of any better way to kick off the weekend, can you?
The menu includes a range of pizzas made with their speciality, homemade dough as well as other British classics such as the Heaney & Mill fish and chips consisting of triple cooked chips and the fresh catch of the day.

There's also a huge range of vegetarian dishes on offer such as the macaroni cheese and basil pesto gratin, the luxurious truffle cheese and leek tart and the vegan cheese burger served with skin-on fries.
For drinks you can pick from unlimited prosecco, house lager, house wine or Aperol Spritz. You have 90 minutes to enjoy these delights and the last available sitting is at 3:30pm.

As well as a beautiful dining room characterised with exposed brick walls lined with framed photographs from it's days as a photography studio, they also have a recently opened sun terrace making this the perfect brunch to enjoy over the incoming summer months.

An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
