There's a bottomless 'Christmas jumper disco' brunch taking place in a hidden Leeds bar, with 90 minutes of unlimited mulled wine and festive pancake platters.
Hosted at Tailors, a secret gin bar hidden inside a working tailor shop on Grand Arcade, the bottomless brunch is promising it all: free-flowing festive drinks, Christmas tunes, mince pies, and massive platters of pancakes loaded with festive treats.
The event will take place on the bar's outdoor winter terrace, filled with twinkling fairy lights and up-cycled sewing tables, so you're encouraged to don your finest winter garms and wrap up warm. This is a tailor's shop, after all, and attire matters.

Drinks-wise, you'll be treated to steaming mugs of mulled wine, clinking cups of rum and ginger iced tea, mangotinis, imported g&ts, and craft beers - with a 'ring for gin' bell on each table ensuring no one is left hanging to make an order.

And of course, it wouldn't be a festive knees-up without mince pies. Rest assured, there'll be plenty floating about in Tailor's winter gin garden, where the brunch is taking place.

For those with dietary requirements, the bar notes that it cannot provide a gluten-free pancake option but it can make versions suitable for vegetarians or vegans if notified in advance.
Priced from £30 for two without food, or £35 with pancakes, it's also an absolute steal.
All that's left to do now is make your booking, grab your best Christmas jumper and follow the disco ball for the best-sounding festive brunch in town.
Bookings fill up fast for the events at Tailors, which are incredibly popular, so it is recommended to move quickly if you want to secure your table. Currently, there are spaces available for parties of two and four listed on the bar's website.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
