Here in Leeds, we are inundated with bottomless brunches. Wolfox's bottomless brunch is one of the latest to come to our attention and it comes with unlimited Prosecco.
The ninety minute experience costs £34 per person and comes with one brunch dish of your choice and free-flowing Prosecco throughout.
The cafe-bar have kept their bottomless brunch menu short, sweet and full of all the dishes they do best, including their farm-to-table breakfast plates.

For meat-eaters, the Farm Breakfast consists of: organic bacon, pork sausage, tomato, sauteed mushroom, braised beans, hash brown, organic poached egg served with freshly baked sourdough, and will cure your hangover before you even stop drinking- at least we think that's how it works.
The vegan Fox Farm alternative is the menu of dreams for anyone with a plant-based diet. Think Beetroot Falafel, hummus, fresh avocado, wilted spinach, sauteed mushrooms, braised beans, hash brown served with freshly baked sourdough.
Considering all dietary needs, Wolfox's brioche toast is also available as a vegan or meat dish. Made up of organic French toast with berry compote, served with blood orange creme and vegan maple syrup and Bacon upon request, this sweet and savoury dish is a brunch classic.

Wild mushroom is also on the menu: sauteed wild mushroom on toast served with red onion relish and macadamia cream, finished with a sprinkle of Porcini dust, as well as Pan Con Tomate, crushed peas with mint and dill served on freshly baked sourdough. Topped with fresh tomato salsa and toasted hemp seeds.
If those options still don't take your fancy, the Wolfox Spring Hash, Le Grande Benedict or Fox Pancakes are sure to tempt you- after all you need something to wash down all that Prosecco with, so you may as well choose your favourite.

A popular restaurant chain has closed permanently in Leeds city centre.
Popular pizzeria Franco Manca has closed its Leeds restaurant.
The chain was famed for its relaxed atmosphere, quick service and affordable sourdough Neapolitan pizzas that were on offer for as little as a fiver.
The chain occupied the site on the outskirts of Trinity Shopping Centre on Trinity Street, next door to Itsu and overlooking the back entrance of Marks and Spencer.
Hoardings have now gone up, signifying the site is now empty and Franco Manca has permanently closed.

This can also be seen on Google when searching for the restaurant branch.
It was announced earlier this year that a number of Franco Manca's restaurants would be closing across the country.
This was down to a reconstructing plan approved by creditors for the chain. The brand said it had been knocked by “disproportionately high” UK taxes and a lack of business rates relief for hospitality.
Marcel Khan, chief executive of parent firm Fulham Shore, said at the time: “We are grateful for the support shown by our creditors today.
“Franco Manca is a fantastic brand with a strong heritage and loyal customer base. With this agreement in place, we will put the business back on a firm footing and press ahead with strengthening our customer offer and performance.”
The Leeds brand was not included in the initial list of restaurant closing, but it seems further closures were made.

A sandwich shop in Leeds is expanding to the suburbs.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonsos Deli has made a name for itself for serving some of the best sandwiches around the city.
Such a good reputation in fact, that they’ve just announced a second location over in the leafy suburb of Horsforth. Get in.
Currently, you'll find Alfonso's in the Grand Arcade where their light-filled and airy space is slinging out sandwiches non-stop until sell-out.

It's not just sandwiches, though. They're also serving up fantastic Cuban coffee, beer and even Cuban cigars.
Basically, it's everything you'd expect to find in a deli in Miami.
The team shared the news of the expansion on social media, confirming that a brand-new Horsforth site is on the way.
While an official opening date is yet to be revealed, the announcement has already sparked plenty of excitement among loyal customers, many of whom have been calling for a second location since the deli first opened.
Alfonso's has built a devoted following in Leeds, with its signature Cubano sandwich becoming a firm favourite, while its breakfast bagels draw queues of hungover punters through the doors.
The move to Horsforth marks the next chapter for the independent business, bringing its popular menu to a whole new neighbourhood. And they're in fantastic company too, in a suburb that is flourishing with independent local businesses.
If the success of the Grand Arcade site is anything to go by, the new deli is likely to be just as busy from day one. More details, including an opening date and the full menu, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Good luck to the team, we can't wait to check it out.
