Tabasco sauce, cheesy crumpets and a Bloody Mary- name a better hangover cure.
Picture the scene. It's a Sunday lunchtime and you've just rolled out of bed- or maybe you've just gone to get some shut eye. Whether you're sleep deprived or just plain hungover, nothing beats a good hangover cure to get you back to your usual equilibrium.
If you've ever walked into Springwell on a Sunday then you'll know that this is the only place you should be getting your hangover fix from.

Kerbside Kids got themselves a kitchen with the home of North Brew Co back in April 2021 and have been battling the aftermath of the night before since August with their specially-made 'Recovery Sundays' menu full of the best comedown cures around.
Think grilled cheese sourdough crumpets with kerbside beans, a fried egg, bloody Mary ketchup and Tabasco Sriracha sauce- and that's just the beginning.

If you need something a little more filling to get those electrolytes back, the brekkie burgers are your best bet. The Morning Glory burger is made up of a sausage patty with smoked streaky bacon and complete with a fried egg, hash brown and American cheese on an English muffin with HP or Heinz ketchup- making up an entire full English breakfast in one stack.
For serious hangovers, the Tabasco Benny Burger seems to be incredibly popular. Kerbside Kids firmly believe that Tabasco sauce is the way to kill any hangover, and so far nobody has challenged their hypothesis, so we’re assuming that they’re right.
For anyone craving a full English the day after the night before, but need an extra kick to get you going: a toasted sesame seed bun with smoked streaky bacon, sausage patty, American cheese and a poached egg with Tabasco Sriracha hollandaise, chilly crunch and chives is all you need.

There's also the likes of black pudding dirty fries on offer with sausage gravy, chopped streaky bacon, crumbled black pud and Tabasco Chipotle sauce with a fried egg and fries on offer, alongside the vegan friendly Avo Hash Smash with hash browns, double vegan American cheese or smashed avo, pico de gallo and an English muffin.
Of course, their Tater Tots are still available and come as a regular portion, fiery option or with truffle parmesan.
If you're more of a hair of the dog drinker, or just don't want the party to end 'just because it's a Sunday', you can get your boozy fix from Kerbside Kids- they are based in a brewery after all. There's Bloody Marys aplenty and Mimosas available for those brave enough to drink on a delicate stomach, or Sangria topped with a piñata too.

Of course, there's plenty of coffee available too if you just want to sober up and feel like a normal human being without the headache again.
The hangover-curers are also set to open up for delivery, using Deliveroo, this year too. Kerbside Kids stated on Instagram "Burgers all Friday and Saturday @springwelllds Burgers on Deliveroo Weds-Sunday from January. Hunting for a city centre spot, if you know anywhere with a kitchen holla us. But yeah that’s happening, so see ya Sunday for an all day Brunch ting. Will be mixing things up with the menu in the new year but this legend will live forever".
To get your Recovery Sunday fix, you'll find Kerbside Kids at Springwell in Leeds. The venue is open 11am - 9pm, but timings for Kerbside Kids may vary slightly from this. If you're after a non-hangover burger, their regular menu is available every Friday and Saturday at the same location.

Plans to turn one of Leeds’ most historic buildings into padel courts approved
One of Leeds’ most iconic buildings is set to be brought back to life.
Plans for a brand-new padel and leisure destination at The Roundhouse on Wellington Road have been approved by Leeds City Council’s West Plans Panel.
Consent has been granted for Ollo Padel to transform the Grade II* listed Roundhouse into a state-of-the-art sport, fitness, food, drink and community venue subject to conditions and completion of a Section 106 agreement.
Built in 1847 for the Leeds and Thirsk Railway Company, The Roundhouse was once home to the steam locomotives that powered industrial Victorian Leeds. In recent years, the building has stood largely unused.

The approved plans will restore and protect the landmark building and give the site a new, long-term future as one of the city’s most distinctive leisure destinations.
The three-acre site, located on the edge of Leeds city centre, will include nine outdoor doubles padel courts under a 10-metre canopy, plus a dedicated indoor coaching court within The Roundhouse itself.
At the heart of the site will be the Ollo Clubhouse; built around an all-day kitchen and bar, it will combine a comfortable lounge and co-working space, meeting rooms and live sport and events spaces.
The kitchen and bar will be run in partnership with Southbank Provisions, the independent Leeds hospitality team behind Headrow House, Belgrave Music Hall and Galleria whilst the gym will be operated by fitness and performance specialists Northbound, who will bring strength and conditioning practice, Hyrox training and pilates classes to The Roundhouse.

Construction is expected to begin later this year, with the venue aiming to open in early 2027.
Luke Gidney, Founder & CEO Ollo Padel: "This is a huge day for Leeds, for The Roundhouse and for Ollo. The Roundhouse has been part of the city’s story for nearly 180 years. It’s an incredible building but it needs people, energy and purpose again. Our plan is to bring it back to life as a place where people can play, eat, work, meet friends and feel part of something.
"Padel is growing so quickly because it’s fun, social and easy to pick up. But for us, this is about more than just the courts. We want Ollo to become a proper community destination for Leeds, somewhere welcoming, joyful and full of life.
"We’re incredibly grateful to Leeds City Council’s planning team, our case officer, the wider council team and everyone who has supported the project to this point. This has been a complex project but the sport and engagement throughout has been brilliant. Now the real work starts and we cannot wait to open the doors for you.”
New study crowns Leeds as one of the friendliest cities in the UK
Clementine Hall
New research has revealed a global ranking of cities with the best customer service, with Leeds taking one of the top spots.
If you've been wondering which cities across the world are the friendliest of them all, then look no further because MoneySuperMarket have done the work for us in a new study.
In a world where social media culture plays a huge part in people's lives, online customer reviews are pretty important to local businesses.
To uncover the global locations that are home to the best customer service, the businesses insurance experts analysed over 100,000 reviews of leisure and hospitality businesses in 107 cities worldwide.
They looked at the language in the reviews to see how often friendly workers and staff were mentioned, building a global ranking of the cities where customer service truly stands out.
Out of a whopping 107, Leeds came in at a very respectable number 12. Now we think that's pretty good going.
Outside of the UK, Hanoi, Paris, Montreal and Abu Dhabi were highlighted for their friendly customer service whilst Edinburgh tops the global ranking, with Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol also making the world’s top 10.
The top 10 cities in the UK with the best customer service are as follows:
Edinburgh
Liverpool
Birmingham
Bristol
Belfast
Leeds
Glasgow
Cardiff
Manchester
London
Alicia Hempsted spoke on the study: “As businesses grow and engage with more customers, it’s important to make sure they’re protected. Public liability insurance is an important safeguard for those working with the public, helping to cover costs if something goes wrong, while also showing customers that their experience is taken seriously - from the moment they walk through the door to long after they’ve left.”
