Over on Park Row in Leeds sits Argentinian steakhouse Gaucho, home to one of the very best bottomless brunch deals in the city.
Every Saturday, the restaurant serves a ninety-minute Electro Brunch deal giving you unlimited drinks and food - and yes, it's not exactly new but it's still one of the most indulgent offers we've seen to date.
For £57.50. you'll be treated to endless, free-flowing cocktails and as many of their 'brunch feast' dishes as you can muster - including several indulgent pudding options to finish, which put an Argentine twist on British favourites like banana bread and Eton mess.

Of course, there's steak and eggs on the menu here and at somewhere like Gaucho that is a must. Known for its wet-aged beef, the cuts of steak are so supple and soft here you could cut through them with a butter knife.
Advised to be enjoyed no more well-cooked than medium-rare, if you're a big steak lover then this dish alone - served simply with chimichurri and a fried egg - is worth coming to the brunch for (and that's before we even get into the electro beats, the excellent drinks choices, and all the other menu options).
Promising 'a fusion of cool beats, melodic tunes and bassy rhythms', throughout your brunch session you can expect the best, curated house music from a selection of the hottest local DJs.

As for drinks, think endless cocktails like Aperol spritz, pornstar martinis, Elder spritz, and bloody marys, plus staples like bottled lager, Ketel One peach and orange vodka with soda, Jack Daniels no.7 and lemonade or the house Domaine Chandon (Argentinian sparkling wine).
Other dishes to feast on here include the likes of stuffed burrata with a truffle-infused tomato salad, or the Choripan sandwich (chorizo sausage, chimichurri mayo, crispy shallots, brioche roll).
Elsewhere, you'll find smashed avocado on toasted rye bread served with a poached egg and salsa criolla, creamed chilli mushrooms on toast, eggs royale, and a maple bacon sandwich served with tomato jam on fresh crusty bread.

Even better, there's also pudding - just so you can finish on a sweet note.
Choose (or don't choose, it's all bottomless after all) between everyone's lockdown favourite, banana bread, served here with passionfruit and a dulce mousse, or opt for the dulce Eton mess, laden with berry compote, dulce mousse, meringue.

Usually, Gaucho's Electro brunch is held between 11am and 4pm every Saturday, but during January 2022 things are starting a little later at 12pm.
Priced at £57.50 per person for unlimited food and cocktails, there's no party booking limit- but if your party is 8 or more you may end up seated on separate tables.

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.

Boyband and radio hitmakers The Script are coming to Leeds and are playing out alongside an equally big support act.
'For the First Time' in almost a year, The Script are playing a run of live shows across the UK including Leeds' First Direct Arena.
This Irish-based band have soundtracked generations with their hits spanning two decades including 'Hall of Fame', 'Breakeven', 'Superheroes' and more.
Consisting of lead vocalist Danny O'Donoghue with Benjamin Seargent on bass, guitarist Ben Weaver and drummer Adam Marcello, their music fuses pop and rock.
The Script has released three albums that have topped both UK and Ireland charts as well as four Top 10 singles and they're hoping to reign supreme on the charts once more with upcoming LP The User's Guide to Being Human.
Although the full album doesn't drop until August, Danny and the rest of the lads have dropped a single titled 'Man In The Arena'.
There's even a nod to the Northern music scene on the tracklist as one of the upcoming releases is labelled 'The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall'.
Other tracks on this LP include 'Living Our Life Without Me', 'I'm 100 Different People' and a song that's sure to get a few tears out of all of us - 'Grow Old with Grace'.
As well as announcing this new run of shows set for Winter 2026, The Script are joining Take That on a stadium tour titled The Circus Live across June and July.
Joining The Script on their latest UK tour this Winter is James Morrison known for similar ballad-like hits including 'Broken Strings' and 'Wonderful World'.
