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.

Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
